What Are The Advantages Of Welded Rotors?

1.	What Are The Advantages Of Welded Rotors?
Answer» Welded rotor is a composed body built up by welding the individual segments. So the limitations on forgings capacity do not apply. Welding DISCS together results in a lower stress level. Therefore, more ductile MATERIALS can be CHOSEN to resist SCC ATTACK. There are no keyways. So regions of high stress concentrations are eliminated.
