China News Service, Harbin, April 16 (Zou Hailei, Cheng Guangfu, reporter Wang Lin) On the 16th, China's first additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing) axial flow turbine real runner was completed and successfully delivered in Harbin.
This achievement will help promote the transformation and upgrading of China's power generation equipment manufacturing industry, and promote the research and development and industrial application of additive manufacturing technology.
Additive manufacturing technology (also known as 3D printing technology) is known as one of the key technologies leading the industrial revolution, and has become an important means to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry.
The runner is the core component of the hydro-generator set. It is one of the key components with the most difficult research and development and the most difficult manufacturing problems. It also determines the over-current capacity, hydraulic efficiency, cavitation performance and the operation of the entire hydro-generator set. stability.
This project was manufactured by Harbin Nengchuang Digital Technology Co., Ltd. of HE Group. The company aims to enhance the innovation capability of intelligent manufacturing industry technology of power generation equipment, and actively promotes intelligent manufacturing technology represented by robot application and additive manufacturing in power generation equipment. Technology research and development and industrial application promotion in the manufacturing field.
Taking the additive manufacturing of water turbine runners as the background, the team has successively built a robotic arc additive manufacturing system, developed additive manufacturing software, procedures and processes for runner blades, and carried out the manufacture of axial-flow real machine runners.
The follow-up manufacturing process verifies that the application of this technology effectively reduces the manufacturing cost and cycle of the runner, has good economics, meets the research and development expectations, and has a broad market prospect.
The successful development of China's first additively manufactured axial flow runner is a successful exploration of the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements in China's power generation equipment manufacturing industry. , which is of great significance to the application of intelligent manufacturing technology represented by robots and additive manufacturing in the field of power generation equipment manufacturing.
