| Description: | Shaft - approx. 5 to 10 in. Impeller Diameter 2 to 5 in. |
Most high efficiency gas and diesel engines are turbocharged. The lightweight welded shaft and impeller assemblies rotate at extremely high speeds. In order to prevent fatigue and failure in the weld and heat affected zone (HAZ) these bi-metal welds must be defect free. These impeller assemblies are mass produced with short cycle, high-production electron beam welders. |
| Material(s): |
Shaft - Carbon Steel |
|
| Joint Geometry: | radial circumferential weld | |
| Weld Depth: | 0.080 in. (2mm) for small assemblies |
