Cast Iron Turbine Casing Repair
Cast Iron Turbine Casing Repair
(OP)
Can anyone recommend repair options for a 12" long crack on a 4" thick cast iron turbine casing? This 17 ton component is located inside a turbine pit which holds a dual francis horizontal runner/shaft assembly. Will a weld repair be successful if preheat is not possible?
Thanks.
Thanks.

We are currently in contact with several Cast Iron repair companies that specialize in this service. If all else fails, I may have to fabricate a new casing.
Thanks for the other links and info metengr & teb1.
