Liburdi sets a new standard in gas turbine repair and maintenance with a cutting-edge approach to disc life assessment. While blades and vanes face extreme heat and corrosion, turbine discs endure intense stress loads that are critical to reliable operation. Our advanced mechanical design methodology, featuring finite element stress analysis, provides precise calculations of disc life expectancy—outperforming outdated life estimation methods. By choosing Liburdi, you ensure accurate insights that extend turbine component life, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the long-term reliability of your gas turbine systems.
For the same reasons that it’s wise to get a regular check up with your doctor, a life analysis is an evidence-based approach to determination of:
Typically, only a single part is required for destructive testing; a blade which has irreparable damage can be selected to avoid destruction of another wise repairable blade. Analysis of additional blades may be necessary if a blade set has a multiple populations, but only if the populations of a similar vintage – analysis of the oldest blade group can often suffice.
Turbine disks operate at temperatures below which metallurgical degradation is evident. Cracks can develop over time, however, so determining safe operating intervals beyond OEM life limits requires determination of the disks operating conditions (stress and temperature) through finite element analysis (FEA) and estimations of cracks growth rates under these conditions, using the principals of fracture mechanics. Safe operating intervals can then be established, based on the expected time for cracks to grow from a detectable size to a critical size.
