[0009] Hereinafter, several embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the dimensions, materials, shapes, relative arrangements, etc. of components described as embodiments or shown in the drawings are merely illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. For example, expressions expressing relative or absolute arrangement such as "in a certain direction," "along a certain direction," "parallel," "orthogonal," "center," "concentric," or "coaxial" not only express such an arrangement exactly, but also express a state in which there is a relative displacement with a tolerance or an angle or distance to the extent that the same function is obtained. For example, expressions such as "identical," "equal," and "homogeneous" that indicate that something is in an equal state not only indicate a state of strict equality, but also indicate a state in which there is a tolerance or a difference to the extent that the same function is obtained. For example, expressions representing shapes such as a square shape or a cylindrical shape not only represent shapes such as a square shape or a cylindrical shape in the strict geometric sense, but also represent shapes including uneven portions, chamfered portions, etc., to the extent that the same effect can be obtained. On the other hand, the expressions "comprise," "include," "have," "includes," or "have" of one element are not exclusive expressions that exclude the presence of other elements.

[0010] FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an application target of a method for repairing a seal fin 8 according to one embodiment. As partially shown in FIG. 1 , a method for repairing a seal fin 8 provided on the tip 6 a of a moving blade 6 of a rotor 4 of a steam turbine 2 will be described below. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , the seal fin 8 is provided on the tip 6 a of the moving blade 6 so as to suppress leakage flow passing through a gap between a casing (not shown) that houses the rotor 4 and the tip 6 a of the moving blade 6. The seal fin 8 may be formed from a metal material such as high-chromium steel, low-chromium steel, low-alloy steel, or nickel-based alloy. The seal fin 8 provided on the rotor 4 of the steam turbine 2 is exposed to a high-temperature environment during operation of the steam turbine 2, and may be damaged by contact with a member on the casing side (not shown) or by aging degradation such as oxidation. Below, several examples of methods for repairing damaged portions 8 a of the seal fin 8 will be described using FIGS. 2 to 5 , etc.

[0011] Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing a method for repairing a seal fin 8 according to one embodiment. Fig. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of build-up welding. Fig. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of tempering treatment. Fig. 5 is a diagram for explaining another example of tempering treatment.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 2, in S101, pre-welding maintenance is performed on the damaged portion 8a of the seal fin 8 (see FIG. 1). For example, foreign matter, brazing material, coating, etc. adhering to the damaged portion 8a is removed. Furthermore, if the amount of damage varies depending on the longitudinal position of the seal fin 8 (for example, if the height of the seal fin 8 varies depending on the longitudinal position of the seal fin 8), the tip of the seal fin 8 may be machined so that the height of the seal fin 8 is constant regardless of the longitudinal position of the seal fin 8. This prevents welding defects and allows the seal fin 8 to be repaired properly. The longitudinal direction of the seal fin 8 may be the axial direction of the rotor 4, and the height direction of the seal fin 8 may be the radial direction of the rotor 4. The damaged portion 8a of the seal fin 8 refers to a portion of the seal fin 8 where the height of the seal fin 8 has decreased relative to the height h0 of the seal fin 8 at the start of use.

[0013] In S102, as shown in FIG. 3 , an additional fin 9 is formed at the damaged portion 8a of the seal fin 8 by overlay welding the damaged portion 8a (overlay welding step). The overlay welding performed in S102 may be MIG welding (Metal Insert Gas Welding), and the weld metal used for the overlay welding may be a cobalt-based alloy, a nickel-based alloy, or an austenitic stainless steel. The overlay welding in S102 may also be ultra-low heat input welding, in which MIG welding is performed under ultra-low heat input conditions. The heat input Q1 of the overlay welding in S102 may be, for example, 9.0 (kJ / cm) or less, preferably 6.0 (kJ / cm) or less, and more preferably 3.0 (kJ / cm) or less. The heat input Q1 here is the amount of electrical energy consumed in overlay welding per unit length, and is determined by the following formula (a): Q1=(I×V×60) / (v×1000) ···(a)

[0014] In the above formula (a), Q1 is the heat input (kJ / cm) of the overlay welding, I is the current (A) flowing through the electrode wire 14 of the welding torch 12 during the overlay welding, V is the arc voltage (V) supplied to the electrode wire 14 of the welding torch 12 during the overlay welding, and v is the moving speed (cm / min) of the welding torch 12 during the overlay welding.

[0015] When overlay welding is performed on the damaged portion 8a of the seal fin 8 in S102, a heat-affected zone 8c is generated in the base material 8b of the seal fin 8 due to the heat input of the overlay welding. The heat-affected zone 8c is a portion where the metal structure of the base material 8b has changed due to the heat input of the overlay welding, and is likely to be harder and more brittle than other portions of the base material 8b.

[0016] Therefore, in S103, the heat-affected zone 8c generated in the seal fin 8 is subjected to a tempering treatment by applying heat to the heat-affected zone 8c by arc discharge or laser (tempering treatment step). For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a welding torch 22 equipped with a tungsten electrode 20 may be used to apply heat to the heat-affected zone 8c by applying heat to the heat-affected zone 8c by arc discharge from the tungsten electrode 20. In this case, the welding torch 22 is used for TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. Alternatively, a welding torch for Inert Gas Welding (IG Welding) may be used, or temper bead welding may be performed by TIG welding, which allows for delicate heat input control. Instead of the method using the welding torch 22, as shown in FIG. 5, a laser processing head 32 (e.g., a laser processing head for laser welding) equipped with a lens 30 may be used, and heat may be input to the heat-affected zone 8c by a laser that has passed through the lens 30, thereby tempering the heat-affected zone 8c. Note that the build-up welding on the damaged area 8a in S102 corresponds to quenching, and the tempering treatment in S103 is performed after the additional fin 9 formed on the damaged area 8a has cooled.

[0017] In S103, the heat-affected zone 8c may be tempered without adding filler metal to the damaged zone 8a. In this case, during the period in which heat is being input to the heat-affected zone 8c by arc discharge or laser in S103, no filler metal is added to the damaged zone 8a, and melt-run welding between the seal fin 8 and the additional fin 9 is performed.

[0018] Regarding the tempering treatment of the heat-affected zone 8c in S103, the heat input Q2 of the arc discharge or laser in the tempering treatment may be determined based on a parameter d related to the amount of damage to the seal fin 8. Note that the parameter d related to the amount of damage to the seal fin 8 may be the amount of decrease in the height of the seal fin 8 based on the height h0 of the seal fin 8 at the start of use, as shown in FIG. 1, for example. Specifically, it may be the difference (= h0 - h1) between the height h0 of the seal fin 8 at the start of use and the height h1 of the seal fin 8 immediately before repair of the seal fin 8 (for example, after the pre-welding maintenance in S101 and before the overlay welding in S102). Note that the heat input Q2 here is the amount of electrical energy (kJ / cm) consumed by the arc discharge or laser in the tempering treatment per unit length, and is determined by formula (b) when arc discharge is used, or by formula (c) when a laser is used. Q2=(I×V×60) / (v×1000) ···(b) Q2=W / v (c)

[0019] In the above formula (b), Q2 is the heat input (kJ / cm) of the arc discharge in the tempering process, I is the current (A) flowing through the tungsten electrode 20 of the welding torch 22 in the tempering process, V is the arc voltage (V) supplied to the tungsten electrode 20 of the welding torch 22 in the tempering process, and v is the movement speed (cm / min) of the welding torch 22 in the tempering process. Also, in the above formula (c), Q2 is the heat input (kJ / cm) of the laser in the tempering process, W is the laser output (W) in the tempering process, and v is the movement speed (cm / min) of the laser processing head 32 in the tempering process.

[0020] Regarding the tempering treatment of the heat-affected zone 8c in S103, when the heat input Q2 of the arc discharge or laser in the tempering treatment is determined based on a parameter d related to the amount of damage to the seal fin 8, the heat input Q2 of the arc discharge or laser in the tempering treatment in S103 may be determined based on the parameter d related to the amount of damage to the seal fin 8 and predetermined correlation information R (see FIG. 6) (heat input amount determination step). Here, the correlation information R is information indicating the relationship between the parameter d related to the amount of damage to the seal fin 8 and the heat input Q2 of the arc discharge or laser in the tempering treatment. In this case, in S103, the heat input Q2 of the arc discharge or laser in the tempering treatment is controlled to Q2 based on the heat input Q2 determined in the heat input amount determination step. Note that in the example shown in FIG. 6, the correlation information R indicates that the heat input Q2 decreases as the parameter d related to the amount of damage to the seal fin 8 increases. By determining the heat input Q2 based on the correlation information R, it is possible to reduce stress in the heat-affected zone 8c while suppressing excess heat input to the bucket 6. Furthermore, the heat input Q2 of the arc discharge or laser in the tempering treatment may be smaller than the heat input Q1 of the overlay welding, from the viewpoint of suppressing the occurrence of defects such as cracks in the heat-affected zone 8c.

[0021] Next, in S104, post-welding maintenance is performed. Specifically, the tabs and jigs used in welding are removed. In addition, in S105, the surfaces of the rotor blades 6 and the surfaces of the repaired seal fins 8 are inspected for defects such as cracks. This inspection may be performed using, for example, fluorescent penetrant testing.

[0022] Here, the effects of the repair method for the seal fin 8 explained with reference to FIG. 2 etc. will be described. According to the above-described method for repairing a seal fin 8, after forming an additional fin 9 at a damaged portion 8a of the seal fin 8 by overlay welding in S102, heat is applied to a heat-affected zone 8c generated in the seal fin 8 by arc discharge or laser in S103, thereby tempering the heat-affected zone 8c, thereby reducing the hardness of the heat-affected zone 8c and alleviating internal stress in the heat-affected zone 8c, thereby suppressing damage to the seal fin 8 after repair. Furthermore, compared to the method for repairing a seal fin described in Patent Document 1, this method does not require peening or removal of irregularities or affected layers that accompany the peening, thereby reducing the number of steps required for repair and enabling the seal fin 8 to be repaired in a short period of time.

[0023] Furthermore, in S103, when heat is input to the heat-affected zone 8c by arc discharge from a tungsten electrode (when tempering the heat-affected zone 8c by TIG welding), the heat input to the heat-affected zone 8c can be carefully controlled, making it easy to adjust the hardness of the heat-affected zone 8c after overlay welding and effectively suppressing damage to the seal fin 8 after repair. Furthermore, in the tempering process of S103, it is not necessary to add filler material to the damaged location 8a while heat is being input to the heat-affected zone 8c by arc discharge or laser, which simplifies the repair method for the seal fin 8.

[0024] Furthermore, by determining the heat input of the arc discharge or laser in the tempering process using correlation information R that indicates the relationship between the parameter d related to the amount of damage to the seal fin 8 and the heat input of the arc discharge or laser in the tempering process, the heat-affected zone 8c can be tempered with an appropriate heat input according to the amount of damage to the seal fin 8, so that the hardness of the heat-affected zone 8c after overlay welding can be appropriately adjusted and damage to the seal fin 8 after repair can be effectively suppressed.

[0025] Furthermore, by using a cobalt-based alloy, a nickel-based alloy, or an austenitic stainless steel as a filler material for overlay welding of S102, hardening after heat input can be suppressed.

[0026] In addition, since damage to the seal fins 8 formed on the tips 6a of the rotor blades 6 can be suppressed after repair, leakage flow in the gap between the tips 6a of the rotor blades 6 and the casing (stationary wall) (not shown) of the steam turbine 2 can be stably suppressed.

[0027] Furthermore, by performing the buildup welding in S102 using extremely low heat input welding, hardening of the heat-affected zone 8c caused by the buildup welding can be suppressed, thereby enhancing the effect of suppressing damage to the seal fin 8 after repair.

[0028] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but also includes modifications to the above-described embodiments and appropriate combinations of these modifications.

[0029] For example, while Figure 1 illustrates a seal fin 8 formed at the tip of a rotor blade 6 of a steam turbine 2, the repair method for the seal fin 8 described using Figure 2 can also be applied to a seal fin 8 formed on the outer surface 4a of a rotor 4 of the steam turbine 2 at a position facing a stator blade 5 of the steam turbine 2, as shown in Figure 7, for example.

[0030] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, in S103, a method of performing temper bead welding by TIG welding to perform delicate heat input control to the heat-affected zone 8c was exemplified, but the welding method performed in S103 is not particularly limited as long as delicate heat input control to the heat-affected zone 8c can be performed.

[0031] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a method has been exemplified in which melt-run welding is performed between the seal fin 8 and the additional fin 9 without adding filler material to the damaged area 8a during the period in which heat is input to the heat-affected zone 8c by arc discharge or laser in S103. However, if the amount of heat input to the heat-affected zone 8c can be appropriately controlled, heat may be input to the heat-affected zone 8c by arc discharge or laser while adding filler material to the damaged area 8a in S103.

[0032] The contents described in each of the above embodiments can be understood, for example, as follows.
