Deep compression is a highly effective repair solution for steam turbines. This technique is provides a cost-effective and efficient way to restore and improve the performance of these vital components. We wrote an article about it for TurboMachinery International and I highly recommend giving it a read.

The article discusses how deep compression works and its numerous benefits. By subjecting the turbine blades to engineered compressive stress, cracks and defects are mitigated while enhancing structural integrity. This process not only extends the lifespan of the blades but also improves their overall performance.

This article provides valuable insights into how deep compression can address common turbine issues, including fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, stress concentrations and more. By implementing this solution during manufacturing or repair, power plants can minimize downtime, improve reliability, and increase their energy output.
