Cangzhou Wind Power Disc Forging Case, Hebei

Case Overview

In the wind power sector, a leading turbine manufacturer faced challenges with the reliability and longevity of disc forgings used in their gearbox assemblies. The original components exhibited premature wear under high cyclic loads, leading to increased maintenance downtime and operational costs. Jianing Forging was engaged to provide a tailored solution for this critical application.

Customer Pain Points

The customer encountered three primary issues: frequent fatigue cracking in the disc forgings, inconsistent material properties across batches, and extended lead times from existing suppliers. These problems resulted in production delays, higher warranty claims, and reduced turbine availability for end users.

Product Solutions

Jianing Forging addressed each pain point through a combination of advanced forging techniques and rigorous quality control. The solution included optimized grain flow design to enhance fatigue resistance, strict adherence to ASTM A668 standards with full traceability, and a streamlined production process that reduced delivery cycles by 30%. The resulting disc forgings demonstrated a 40% increase in service life under identical operating conditions.
