Abstract
A steam turbine (10) part includes a ceramic matrix composite (CMC (110)). The part may be made wholly or partially of CMC (110). The CMC (110) eliminates the possibility of oxidation and thus increases steam turbine (10) availability and reliability.
Description
- The invention relates generally to steam turbines. More particularly, the invention relates to a steam turbine part including ceramic matrix composite (CMC).
- In steam turbines, valves open and close openings between sections of the turbine and are exposed to steam under pressure. One of the design criteria for any steam turbine is reliability, followed by availability and operability. Valve stems, which are typically made of a Nickel alloy, are subjected full steam pressure and temperatures. These pressure and temperatures can reach up to 24.8 mega Pascals (MPa) (3600 pounds per square inch (psi)) and 621 °C (1150 °F) in current designs. Next generation steam turbines, however, are expected to reach up to 29.6 MPa (4300 psi) and 760 °C (1400 °F). Under these latter conditions, Nickel alloy valve stems will oxidize and build up oxide. The valve stem is expected to have up-down motion in a bushing made of similar material. Thus, both valve stem and bushing may develop oxide. To maintain reliability, it is necessary to sustain sufficient clearance at the design and manufacturing stage, so as to allow the stem to work smoothly until major overhaul and/or replacement of the stem (typically 5-10 years) can be performed. One approach to solve this solution is providing additional clearance for the oxide. Unfortunately, providing excessive clearance results in steam leakage which impairs performance. In addition, at high steam temperatures, any reasonable engineering clearance (e.g. 10 millimeter radial) will disappear due to oxide build-up on Nickel based super-alloys in probably 2-4 years, thus potentially resulting in valve stem binding, making the valve non-functional. If a stem binds in its normal, valve open condition, such an event may result in an inability to shut off steam flow and over-speeding of the turbine.
- A steam turbine part includes a ceramic matrix composite (CMC). The part may be made wholly or partially of CMC. The CMC eliminates the possibility of oxidation under which a layer of partially or fully oxide based ceramic/fiber combination is applied, and thus increases steam turbine availability and reliability.
- A first aspect of the disclosure provides a steam turbine part for a steam turbine, the stationary part comprising: a ceramic matrix composite.
- A second aspect of the disclosure provides a steam turbine comprising: a part including a ceramic matrix composite.

steam 24 enters aninlet 26 ofturbine 10 and is channeled throughstationary vanes 22. Vanes 22direct steam 24 downstream againstblades 20. Steam 24 passes through the remaining stages imparting a force onblades 20 causingshaft 14 to rotate. At least one end ofturbine 10 may extend axially away fromrotor 12 and may be attached to a load or machinery (not shown) such as, but not limited to, a generator, and/or another turbine. - In one embodiment of the present invention as shown in
FIG. 1 ,turbine 10 comprises five stages. The five stages are referred to as L0, L1, L2, L3 and L4. Stage L4 is the first stage and is the smallest (in a radial direction) of the five stages. Stage L3 is the second stage and is the next stage in an axial direction. Stage L2 is the third stage and is shown in the middle of the five stages. Stage L1 is the fourth and next-to-last stage. Stage L0 is the last stage and is the largest (in a radial direction). It is to be understood that five stages are shown as one example only, and each turbine may have more or less than five stages. Also, as will be described herein, the teachings of the invention do not require a multiple stage turbine. - As understood,
steam turbine 10 includes a number of parts. For purposes of description, the invention may be described relative to astationary valve stem 102, as shown inFIGS. 2-4 .

For example, the oxide based matrix may include (Al2O3), titanium boride (TiB) and silicon carbon (SiC). In another example, the oxide based matrix may include Al2O3, titanium di-boride (TiB2), platinum carbon (PtC) or silicon carbon (SiC). The ceramic based fiber may include any of the above-listed oxide-based matrices or a ceramic based material such as silicon carbon (SiC). Other matrices may include, for example, zirconium carbide (ZrC), hafnium carbon (HfC), titanium carbon (TiC), tantalum carbon (TaC), and niobium carbon (NbC) and mixed carbides such as zirconium silicon carbon (Zr-Si-C), hafnium silicon carbon (Hf-Si-C) or titanium silicon carbon (Ti-Si-C). Other fibers may include, for example, silicon carbon (SiC), carbon (C), alpha-Al2O3 with yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) additives, or variations thereof. In any event,CMC 110 should act to increase the ductility or energy absorption in the material system forpart 100 and the capability to resist steam corrosion and wearing which in certain cases may include layers on theCMC 110 or fibers. - In one embodiment, shown in
FIG. 2 ,part 100 may be made entirely of CMC. In an alternative embodiment, shown inFIG. 3 ,part 100 may be made partially of CMC. In the example shown,part 100 includes a CMC layer 112 over ametal core 114, e.g., of steel.

Alternatively, as shown inFIG. 4 , only surfaces 118 of apart 100 that are exposed to steam may includeCMC 110. As understood, a variety of configurations may be employed within the scope of the invention. -
Part 100 may be formed using any now known or later developed technique, e.g., creating a pre-preg of reinforcing material as a freestanding part or mounted to a metal core 114 (FIG. 3 ), repeatedly infusing the prepreg with a ceramic and curing the ceramic. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , in one alternative embodiment, anexterior surface 120 ofpart 100 may include atextured surface 120.Textured surface 120 may be formed, for example, by providing a woven textile fabric as an outer portion of a pre-preg such that the fabric creates thetextured surface 120.

In particular, the invention can be applied to practically any part of a steam turbine for which oxidation is a limiting factor. For example, the teachings of the invention may be applied to nozzles, casings, etc.
