Improving the surface properties of a Pelton turbine bucket via centrifugal casting technique

This study examines the possibility of fabricating a complex, non-cylindrical, Pelton turbine bucket by centrifugal casting technique. Oil hardening non-shrinking die steel material was selected for the permanent mould production, machined with computer numerical control and heat treated to a hardne...
