Well…. There’s your problem!

[u/KnownSoldier04]

Customer hired us to do some testing to see if they can revive this old 70s GE turbine generator. Nozzle ring is made of haynes556 but it’s cracked in a bunch of places.

These little comp. blades are made of an unidentified alloy, 50%Fe, 40%Ni, 10% Cr. If anyone recognizes the alloy, I’d like to know a bit.

At some point, someone put the wrong bolt in the right spot and damaged the whole stage… they want to cut, weld and grind new blades in place… worrying tbh.

More carnage

That looks EXPENSIVE

As someone who has worked in a turbine repair facility, I KNOW this is VERY expensive.

Similar to Silo series how they repaired it in five minutes? :)

[u/tknames → u/johnmclaren2]

Depends if this was from Boeing or not.

[u/LateralThinkerer → u/tknames]

Not Boeing - looks like the front hasn't fallen off.

I’d like to clarify, that time wasn’t typical.

[u/DrDeke → u/archwin]

Well, how is it un-typical?

[u/DesertRat31 → u/archwin]

Lol!!!

[u/MEGA__MAX → u/johnmclaren2]

Oof, that was such a rough plot line.

[u/cornlip → u/MEGA__MAX]

I just tried really hard to ignore it. I couldn’t, but I tried.

Wait… I mean everyone knows all you need is an angle grinder and some hammers. Any bearings or shafts that have been spinning unbalanced and out of concentricity will just go back to normal. The glowing steel with steam under pressure… idk I’ll let it slide. I’m not letting the wrench cranking to keep it running before that slide.

Is this worth fixing? Every single blade is ruined...
