Abstract
ABSTRACT Water droplet erosion (WDE), which is brought on by the high-energy impact of liquid water droplets, is a serious problem for steam turbine blades. Nevertheless, rather than addressing the WDE of actual steam turbine blades, the majority of the published research on this issue uses laboratory test rigs. In this study, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis are used to examine how the surface of low-pressure steam turbine blades that had been in service eroded over time. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the microstructural features and elemental composition of X20Cr13 steel in steam turbine blades, as well as the factors that can contribute to damage and failure.
