What Is a Turbine Disc? Meeting Today’s Engineering Challenges
An aircraft turbine disc is a component in gas jet engines designed to withstand high temperatures and rotational forces. Typically made of a nickel-based superalloy, turbine discs extract energy generated by fuel combustion in the engine. As the gases pass over the turbine blades, they rotate the turbine disc, which in turn drives other components of the engine such as the compressor or generator.
Aircraft turbine discs require a high level of precision. As a critical part of today’s modern jet engines, turbine discs are subject to strict design and manufacturing requirements. To ensure reliability, Canton Drop Forge uses laser scanning and magnetic particle inspections to test your parts for compliance.
Our Turbine Disc Forging Capabilities
Our forging facility covers more than 240,000 square feet and features some of the largest drop forge hammers in the world. With 13 forging hammers and high-precision die sinking, CDF is capable of producing aerospace turbine discs up to 53 lbs using the nickel-based superalloy Waspaloy™.
Along with our production facilities, our engineers create turbine disc forging designs based on your exact specifications. We can help you turn your outlines and sketches into computer-generated models before the first die is cast. Once completed, our testing and inspection team ensures the quality and performance of all our turbine disc forgings.
