The Drive to New Technology Brings New Challenges
Wind power is an increasingly important source of electricity and in remote ocean and salt spray environments where operational performance measured in MTTR and MTBF is essential. The selection of materials with corrosion resistance and longevity is vitally important. Industry-wide, as operational maintenance costs and lifecycle requirements increase, the dependability and durability of components are essential. Our materials are tailored to provide unique solutions for electrical and mechanical components in wind turbines.
Transmitting mechanical power from the turbine blades to the generator, drive shafts are mission critical and must handle transient loads during startup, shutdown, emergency stops, and grid connections.
