Definitions
- the invention relates to manufacturing methods for support structures in a gas turbine exhaust section, and particularly to manufacturing of end collars for exhaust diffuser strut shields.
- a gas turbine (GT) exhaust diffuser is a divergent annular duct formed between inner and outer annular shells through which the exhaust gas passes.
- the cross-sectional area of the duct progressively increases in the flow direction. This serves to reduce the speed of the exhaust flow and increase its pressure.
- the exhaust gas may have a temperature of 550-650° C. or more. This causes thermal stresses on components of the exhaust section due to operational thermal gradients and cyclic fatigue from GT starts and shutdowns. Such stresses are concentrated at interconnections between support structures due to differential thermal expansion.
- a circular array of struts span between the aft hub of the turbine shaft and the surrounding cylindrical case of the exhaust section.
- Each strut is surrounded by a heat shield connected between the inner and outer diffuser shells.
- Each shield is a tube with a cross section that surrounds the strut and provides coolant space along the strut. Stress concentrations occur in a collar at each end of the heat shield. The collars attach the heat shield to the respective diffuser shell.
- Components in the exhaust flow path are often made of superalloy materials. These are metal alloys that maintain strength and resist creep, corrosion, and oxidation at high temperatures.
- the base element is usually nickel, cobalt, or nickel-iron.
- An example is the Inconel® family of austenitic nickel-chromium based superalloys. Such materials are difficult to cast in complex thin-wall shapes because they solidify quickly around sharp corners of a mold, resulting in low yield and/or defects. Pressure and/or vacuum may be used to accelerate the casting flow, but this adds expense compared to a gravity feed casting process.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to manufacturing methods for support structures in a gas turbine exhaust section, and particularly to manufacturing of end collars for exhaust diffuser strut shields.
- A gas turbine (GT) exhaust diffuser is a divergent annular duct formed between inner and outer annular shells through which the exhaust gas passes. The cross-sectional area of the duct progressively increases in the flow direction. This serves to reduce the speed of the exhaust flow and increase its pressure. The exhaust gas may have a temperature of 550-650° C. or more. This causes thermal stresses on components of the exhaust section due to operational thermal gradients and cyclic fatigue from GT starts and shutdowns. Such stresses are concentrated at interconnections between support structures due to differential thermal expansion.
- A circular array of struts span between the aft hub of the turbine shaft and the surrounding cylindrical case of the exhaust section. Each strut is surrounded by a heat shield connected between the inner and outer diffuser shells. Each shield is a tube with a cross section that surrounds the strut and provides coolant space along the strut. Stress concentrations occur in a collar at each end of the heat shield. The collars attach the heat shield to the respective diffuser shell.
- Components in the exhaust flow path are often made of superalloy materials. These are metal alloys that maintain strength and resist creep, corrosion, and oxidation at high temperatures. The base element is usually nickel, cobalt, or nickel-iron. An example is the Inconel® family of austenitic nickel-chromium based superalloys. Such materials are difficult to cast in complex thin-wall shapes because they solidify quickly around sharp corners of a mold, resulting in low yield and/or defects. Pressure and/or vacuum may be used to accelerate the casting flow, but this adds expense compared to a gravity feed casting process.

FIG. 1 illustrates anexhaust section 20 behind a last row of rotatingblades 22 of a gas turbine engine. Abearing hub 24 may extend into the exhaust section and enclose an aft bearing 26 that supports theturbine shaft 28 for rotation about anaxis 30. Inner and outer diffuser liners orshells exhaust gas 48. Struts 32 span between the hub and acylindrical casing 34 in a circular array. For conceptual clarity,FIG. 1 appears as though the struts are oriented radially. However, they may be oriented tangentially to the hub as shown inFIG. 2 . Each strut is surrounded by aheat shield 36 connected between the inner 38 and outer 40 diffuser shells. Each shield is a tube that surrounds the strut and may provide acoolant space 42 along the strut. Aninner collar 44 and anouter collar 46 on eachshield 36 attach the shield to therespective diffuser shell - Because the collars have complex geometries and relatively thin wall thicknesses, it has traditionally been necessary to design such collars to have varying wall thicknesses in different portions of the collar to facilitate the flow of molten metal during casting in order to achieve acceptable casting yield rates. The present inventors have realized that such prior art collars generate undesired levels of stress during thermal transients due to their varying wall thicknesses. In order to reduce such stress, the present inventors have developed
collars 44 with more uniform wall thicknesses than in prior art designs, and have further developed manufacturing methods which allow such complex, thin-wall components to be cast successfully. -
FIG. 2 is a transverse sectional view of theGT exhaust section 20 ofFIG. 1 . Ahub 24 encloses an aft bearing 26 that supports theturbine shaft 28. A circular array ofstruts 32 connects the hub to thecasing 34 for mutual support. The struts may be oriented tangentially to the hub as shown to accommodate differential thermal expansion between the hub, struts, and case. Each strut is surrounded by aheat shield 36 connected between the inner 38 and outer 40 diffuser shells. Aninner collar 44 and an outer 46 collar are used to attach each heat shield to therespective diffuser shell -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of aheat shield collar 44. The inventors recognized that an ideal collar would be uniformly cast in a superalloy material with atubular portion 50 for welding the collar to the shield and a flaredwelding flange 52 for welding the collar to the diffuser shell. It should have uniformly thin walls for uniform thermal expansion and cooling. However, due to the tangential orientation of the struts and the shape of the diffuser shells, thetubular portion 50 of the collar is oblique to theflange 52. This creates a sharplycurved transition portion 54 that is difficult to cast with uniformly thin walls in a superalloy material by gravity feed without defects. The transverse section of thetubular portion 50 may have a generally aerodynamic shape, which may or may not include a sharp trailing edge. In an aspect of one embodiment, it may have a racetrack shape as shown with two parallel sides and two rounded ends. -
FIG. 4 illustrates a final geometry of aninner collar 44, with atubular portion 50, aflange 52, and a smoothlycurved transition curved transition portions first portion 53 of the transition has a curvature angle A1 of less than 90 degrees. Asecond portion 54 of the transition has a curvature angle A2 of greater than 90 degrees. Angles A1 and A2 are not supplementary due the curvature of thediffuser shell 38. The respective radii R1, R2 of thecurved transition areas FIG. 2 . Such angles represent casting restriction regions. -
FIG. 5 illustrates a castinggeometry 60 of an inner collar that provides atubular portion 50, aflange 52, and a smoothlycurved transition extra wall thickness 56 for an additional flow path beyond the final geometry ofFIG. 4 (shown as a dashed line inFIG. 5 ) in one or both areas ofcurvature greater curvature 54. The extra wall thickness can be provided for example by increasing the radius of curvature R3 of theexternal surface 58 of an area ofcurvature 54 in the casting geometry. The additional thickness may be limited to the area ofgreater curvature 54, or it may be provided around the whole flare or around selected portions thereof. Theextra wall thickness 56 represents a reduction in the restriction of the casting restriction region of the angle. The extra wall thickness may be removed, such as by machining or grinding, after casting so that thecollar 44 achieves a final geometry. The material removal may be guided by manual templates or may be done by computer numerical control machine tools. -
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a heat shield collar being checked with atemplate 61 having anedge 62 with a particular curvature of the final geometry. Checking may be done during manual machining or after computer numerical control machining. Either an overall uniform wall thickness T1 or a uniform maximum wall thickness dimension T2 around both of thecurved transition areas -
FIG. 7 is a conceptual view of a castingmold 63 used for creating the casting geometry ofFIG. 5 . -
FIG. 8 is a conceptual view of a castingmold 64 withfeed portals 66 that span curved transition areas of the casting geometry, thus providing extra flow paths and corresponding wall thicknesses 68 in the casting geometry beyond the final geometry. Theextra thicknesses 68 are effective to reduce the casting restriction created by the sharply angled geometry of the final geometry. The extra thickness may be machined away post casting to achieve the final geometry, which may have uniform wall thickness as previously described. A plurality of such feed portals may be provided in an arrangement that provides uniform distribution and fast feeding of the molten metal by gravity. -
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a castinggeometry 70 withextra wall thickness 68 in areas provided by the flow paths of feed portals spanningcurved transition areas tubular portion 50 and theflange 52. The feed portal walls may be tapered 71 relative to thefinal walls corner fillets 72 to minimize post casting stress concentrations. -
FIG. 10 is a sectional view of an innerheat shield collar 44 with a compound curve R2A, R2B in atransition 54 area between thetubular section 50 and theflange 52. The compound curve has a varying radius. For example, it may have a relatively shorter radius R2A adjacent thetubular section 50, and a relatively longer radius R2B adjacent theflange 52 as shown (exaggerated for clarity). The longer radius R2B reduces stress concentration in and near theflange 52 from expansion and contraction of thediffusion shell 38. The shorter radius R2A minimizes collar width compared to a single larger radius, thus minimizing impedance of exhaust flow around the collar. This compound curve may be elliptical for example or other curve shapes. The manufacturing method previously described facilitates such compound curvature by providing extra wall thickness in the casting geometry around the smaller radius R2A. - While various embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described herein, it will be obvious that such embodiments are provided by way of example only. Numerous variations, changes and substitutions may be made without departing from the invention herein. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention be limited only by the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
