Frequently Asked Questions

What custom turbine machining services does Reliable Turbine provide?

Reliable Turbine provides precision custom machining and manufacturing services for turbine and generator components, including CNC milling, turning, grinding, EDM machining, and complete part fabrication to customer specifications.

What types of custom-machined turbine components do you manufacture?

We manufacture precision components such as turbine blades, seals, shafts, casings, and other complex machined parts used in power generation and industrial rotating equipment.

What materials can be used for custom turbine machining projects?

We machine a wide range of metals and alloys commonly used in turbine and generator applications. Material selection is based on operating conditions such as temperature, pressure, wear, and corrosion requirements.

How is quality controlled during the machining process?

All custom machining is performed under our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system, with inspection processes in place to ensure parts meet customer specifications and tolerance requirements.

What is the benefit of shot peening steam turbine blade roots?

Since fatigue cracks generally begin as surface imperfections, shot peening can greatly reduce the formation of surface cracks and malformations in the blade root.

How quickly can RTS manufacture a new row of turbine blades?

Turnaround depends on bucket size and shape, but RTS can typically manufacture and deliver a small row of blades under 2 inches tall in less than 10 days.
