摘要

The last stage blades of low pressure steam turbine rotors are among the most highlyrnstressed components in modern power generating plants. The ongoing drive forrnincreased efficiency has seen the proliferation in the number of designs incorporatingrnlarger last stage blades with curved axial entry fir tree roots (CAEFTR); the curvature ofrnthe root attachment allows more flexibility in the aerodynamic design of the aerofoilrnwith improved inter-blade spacing.rnThe tendency of CAEFTRs to suffer failure induced by stress corrosion cracking,rnhigh-cycle fatigue cracking, or low-cycle high strain fatigue, is well documented, andrncan be shown to be most likely to occur in the first two serrations of the blade root.rnFinite element analysis and actual failures confirm the regions under highest risk andrnhave driven developments in ultrasonic phased array techniques to achieve detection ofrndefects in these regions whilst in-situ; in turn avoiding the huge costs associated inrndecommissioning and dismantling rotors to perform alternative NDE surfacerninspections. Due to the complexity of the root geometry there are many difficulties inrnapplying ultrasonic techniques due to limited scanning surfaces, inter-blade spacing, andrndisorientation of the active ultrasound trajectory and the region under test.rnIn this presentation the author will show that the application of novel phased arrayrntechniques and unique inspection design has led to increased sensitivity to smallerrndefects and comprehensive coverage of CAEFTR rotor designs in-situ. It will also bernshown how the application of these techniques has negated the need to upgrade bothrnequipment and resources to the use of 2d arrays, thereby reducing inspection costsrnsignificantly whilst achieving higher repeatability and sensitivity. Novel inspectionrndesign has led to the ability to reduce the number of scans required, enabled single scanrnencoded data recording over the whole blade root, increased sensitivity, improvedrndetectability, and increased coverage, whilst reducing inspection costs and time.
