Project overview:
Weld Assembly of Large Castings
Awardee:
GE Renewable Energy
Start Date:
Q3, 2022
Technical Challenge Area:
Supply and Logistics
Completion Date:
N/A (Currently Underway)
Synopsis:
The proposed concept aims at the development and qualification of a robust joining process for large-thickness iron castings. As welding of iron castings becomes mainstream-approved technology, suppliers will be able to split these large geometries at identified locations into smaller casted se
Target Outcomes:
1
Identify the qualification needs for welding castings and establishing the cost model to quantify the benefits of the proposed approach.
2
Evaluate the candidate welding processes and pursue comprehensive characterization. Down selection between the candidate process will be performed based on performance
3
Report on the final sub article weld process design and qualification study with conclusions on risks and rewards of the process
