Following customer specifications, the part, shown photographed below, was electron beam welded using a custom rotary fixture. The part consisted of low carbon/stainless steel materials and had an ultimate height of 4.5" and an outside diameter of 73". The welding requirements included a weld penetration depth of .900" (partial) from each side, at diameters of 44" and 67". Upon completion, the part was shipped to the customer in New York and installed in a turbine being refurbished. The expedited delivery resulted in minimal system downtime for the utility company.
