ZOTEC Presents Aerospace Surface Treatment Solutions at Turbinetech 2023

2023-05-30


The 2023 Turbine Technology Conference was held from 25 to 26 May 2023 at the Hongqiao Greenland Convention Centre in Shanghai. The conference focuses on advanced intelligent manufacturing, high-performance composite material production and application, decarbonised energy power system construction and other advanced topics, and explores the important and difficult topics on the road of efficient and intelligent development of aviation and combustion engines, such as precision casting of aircraft engines and combustion engines, advanced parts production and processing solutions, and design and landing of high-efficiency low-carbon hydrogen gas turbines.



The conference focuses on the application and development of clean fuels in the field of aero-engine and gas turbine, as well as the intelligent manufacturing of aero-engine and gas turbine and the future market pattern. More than 560 representatives of outstanding enterprises from the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, such as aircraft manufacturing, material production, blade processing, gas power plant, etc., and 56 senior speakers in the industry gathered at the conference to discuss how hydrogen hybrid fuel can contribute to the decarbonisation of aero-engine and gas turbine as well as the progress of the research on the technology of hydrogen-powered aero-engine and gas turbine and the direction of the future development in the context of the transformation of the national energy and economic system.



The scene of the meeting



At this year's conference ZOTEC brings an all-in-one surface treatment solution for polishing, smoothing, chamfering and deburring and a display of post-processing products. Highly efficient and reliable engineering is vital in the aerospace industry, where components and production processes need to meet stringent requirements for manufacturers, and ZOTEC's flow machining solutions enable extremely low surface roughness to be achieved on workpieces after machining, and chamfering and deburring processes for gears, gear discs and blades can significantly reduce engine friction.

Turbine blades work more efficiently with reduced friction, longer service life of the component and a flat milled groove surface. ZOTEC offers process variations as low as 1µm compared to the 5-10µm variations of other processes, and deburring and chamfering of the workpiece to a defined radius can be carried out in a single operation.

Currently, ZOTEC's DF Drag Polishing Machine and SF Flow Polishing Machine have accumulated a wealth of know-how and case studies in processing parts such as turbine and compressor blades, blisks and discs, servo valve assemblies, ball bearing components, blade roots, actuator components and gears. We look forward to your inquiries and technical exchanges for more surface treatment solutions!
