Abstract
It is rational to use additive technology to perform repair of critical structural elements, which include titanium alloy blades of powerful steam turbines, which is due to high requirements to product quality, namely the need to ensure the required microstructure and mechanical properties of blade material, as well as a low level of the residual stress-strain state and oxidation of material surface. Application of mathematical modeling methods based on computer technologies allows reduction of the scope of experimental studies and ensuring the required quality of repair, which guarantees a certain reliability and serviceability of the blades after repair. 7 Ref., 7 Fig.
Keywords: steam turbine, blade, titanium alloy, reconditioning repair, additive technology, electron beam surfacing, computational prediction
