Heavy rotor forgings for land‐based power generation turbines and generators are inspected ultrasonically. Several decades ago the first inspections were conducted using manual, straight beam, contact transducers with simple, non‐descript reporting requirements. The development of ultrasonic inspection capabilities, the change in design engineer requirements, improvements of fracture mechanics calculations, experience with turbine operation, experience with the inspection technology, and… Expand
