Application and Characteristics of High-Temperature Alloy Gears in Gas Turbines
During the operation of gas turbines, the gears are subjected to extreme thermal environments. High-temperature alloy materials exhibit superior high-temperature strength, enabling them to withstand significant mechanical loads under elevated temperatures. For instance, nickel-based superalloys retain high yield strength and tensile strength even at temperatures ranging from 700°C to 1000°C. This is attributed to the formation of stable strengthening phases by nickel and other alloying elements (such as chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten) within the alloy matrix. These phases effectively inhibit grain boundary sliding and deformation at high temperatures, ensuring that the gears do not undergo excessive deformation or fracture under conditions of high thermal and mechanical stress.
This exceptional high-temperature strength ensures stable power transmission through the gears. Even during prolonged operation or under high-power output conditions, the gears maintain excellent mechanical properties, thereby preventing reductions in power transmission efficiency or system failures caused by gear deformation.
Gas turbines frequently undergo startup, shutdown, and load variations, leading to repeated thermal cycling of the gears. High-temperature alloy gears exhibit excellent thermal fatigue resistance, enabling them to endure the stress fluctuations induced by such thermal cycles. The microstructure of these alloys is specifically engineered, often incorporating elements with high melting points and superior thermal stability. This design ensures that the internal structure of the gears remains resistant to cracking or damage during rapid temperature changes.
When gears are rapidly cooled from high-temperature operating conditions or rapidly heated during startup, their thermal fatigue resistance prevents premature failure due to thermal stress concentration. This characteristic is critical for maintaining the reliability and durability of the gas turbine’s power transmission system.
