Land Based Turbines
WITH ALL OUR ENERGY FOR THE FUTURE
Meeting energy requirements while protecting the environment is one of the challenges of our time. Compressors, steam and gas turbines and generators for power generation are exposed to extreme thermal and mechanical stresses in continuous operation, which could not be tougher. BÖHLER develops and produces high-temperature steels and alloys that make it possible to constantly improve the efficiency of turbines. It is no coincidence that the world’s most renowned turbine manufacturers are among our customers.
Energy technology demands a wide range of properties and requires proven and qualified steels and alloys. The product portfolio includes corrosion-resistant and low-temperature steels, high-temperature, thermally resistant steels and alloys of high quality. Our customers order the products according to the required specifications and standards, and we produce, inspect and supply the perfect materials exactly according to their needs.
Special requirements for materials for the land based turbines industry include:
• Corrosion resistance in different ambient conditions (gas, water, steam)
• Mechanical strength and toughness at low temperatures (below -100°C) up to temperatures of 650°C
• Creep resistance and thermal stability with operating times of up to 100,000 h (approx. 30 years)
