Lean philosophy: implementation in a forging company

This research addresses the implementation of lean philosophy in a forging company with a focus on radial forging production flow lines. Here, the prime motive is to evolve and test several strategies to eliminate waste on the shop floor. In this research, a systematic approach is suggested for the implementation of lean principles. This paper describes an application of value stream mapping (VSM). Consequently, the present and future states of value stream maps are constructed to improve the production process by identifying waste and its sources. Furthermore, Taguchi’s method of design of experiments is pursued here to minimize the forging defects produced due to imperfect operating conditions. A noticeable reduction in set-up time and work-in-process (WIP) inventory level is substantiated. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of managerial implications and the future scope of research.     

Connecting the second exhaust-heat boiler to the operating first one under the conditions of flow circuits of combined-cycle plants with two gas-turbine units and one steam turbine

Problems arising with connecting the second exhaust-heat boiler to the first exhaust-heat boiler under load in the case of flow circuits of combined-cycle plants of type PGU-450 are considered. Similar problems exist for two-boiler single-turbine units of type PGU-325 and for two-boiler single-turbine units of traditional steampower plants with an output of 200–300 MW upon connection of the second furnace of a two-furnace boiler to the operating first furnace. Analysis of the temperature-induced stressed state and of the cyclic strength of thick-walled elements of the steam-water conduit of PGU-450 and of two-furnace boilers of two-boiler single-turbine units with an output of 200–300 MW (the check valve, the inlet header of the water economizer) is used for determining the steam temperature differences in the high-pressure conduits to the steam turbine and the order of connection of the second exhaust-heat boiler to the operating fist one. Modes of enabling a two-boiler single-turbine unit of a combined-cycle plant, which are most “rigid” from the standpoint of thermal strength, are determined. __________ Translated from élektricheskie Stantsii, No. 2, February 2006, pp. 11–17.

未来航空润滑油基础油

介绍了未来航空涡轮发动机对润滑油性能的要求:在260,-54℃时,试样运动黏度分别大于1.0 mm2/s和小于15 000 mm2/s,热氧化安定性温度为260~427℃。该要求已超出了目前使用的酯类润滑油所能承受的最大极限。为了满足要求,需开发全氟聚醚、改性硅油、聚苯醚、C-型醚、氟醚三嗪及环三磷偶氮润滑油基础油,它们的使用温度依次为:-34~316,-60~260,5~288,-29~260,-30~343,-15~343℃。

反水锤的危害及防止

反水锤是发生在反击式水轮机尾水道中的一种特殊水锤现象，其压力峰值可达正常压力的几倍，甚至十多倍，以致造成肢解转轮、折断导叶、破坏顶盖、抬起转子的严重事故。因此，研究反水锤发生的原因，从而提出防止反水锤事故的措施尤为重要。     

Lowering the erosion wear of long blades of the last stages by optimum hanging

Problems of optimum hanging of long rotor blades of the last stages of steam turbines are considered. Causes of nonuniform erosion wear of the inlet edges connected with inaccurate location of holes for the external damper coupling on the chord of the profile are determined. Methods for optimizing the hanging of blades for raising the reliability of the last stages are suggested. Main results of hanging performed with the help of a specially developed “LIBRA” soft hardware are presented. __________ Translated from élektricheskie Stantsii, No. 11, November 2006, pp. 36–41.
