Materials For Centrifugal Compressors - A Progress Report.
Abstract
Progress in materials for centrifugal compressors over the last twenty years is reviewed. Specific areas discussed include:
• Impeller materials and fabricating procedures.
• Shaft manufacture, processing, and testing.
• Casings with reference to recent changes in the ASME
Boiler and Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code.
• Sulfide stress cracking and the impact of NACE MR0175.
• Wire wool failures and their prevention.
• Repair procedures including plating, metal spray, and welding.
• Technological advances in electron microscopy and fracture mechanics and their relevance to compressor materials engineering.
