A Review on Corrosion of Steam Turbine.
Keywords:
Steam turbine, corrosion, problems, turbine blade failure, effects of corrosionAbstract
This review paper focuses on basics of corrosion, causes of corrosion and solutions of problems related to it.
A steam turbine is governed by a wide range of mechanical and chemical properties. A large number of problems arise
which try to manipulate these properties and thus need prevention. Major steam turbine problems, such as corrosion in
steam turbine prevalence, effects, various causes, various methods of prevention of corrosion in running turbine,
corrosion in a stationary turbine and methods of preservation are discussed. Some case histories of repair welding of
steam generator components are discussed with special emphasis on details of repair welding of cracked steam turbine
blades.
