As one of the fastest growing renewable energy sources at present, wind power's proportion in the global power production structure is increasing year by year, and it has broad development prospects. It is predicted that the cumulative installed capacity of global wind power will continue to grow steadily at a rate of around 9.5% per year in the future, and will reach 841GW by 2022. In addition, the global wind power installed capacity will continue to maintain stable growth in the future, with an expected annual increase of over 50GW.
The flange used for wind turbine units is the wind turbine flange, which is a structural component that connects various sections of the tower or between the tower and the hub, as well as between the hub and the blades. Because its working environment has a minimum temperature close to minus 40 ℃ and can withstand wind speeds up to level 12. Therefore, in order to produce a qualified wind turbine flange, manufacturers need to strictly screen and control various aspects such as materials, production processes, and quality control.
WH-STEEL has professional flange manufacturing equipment that can produce 6-meter diameter wind turbine flanges. Based on the usage environment of wind turbine flanges, we have chosen low-alloy high-strength steel as the material used, and have specified the requirement for heat treatment as normalizing. The normalizing process improves the comprehensive mechanical properties of forged flanges by refining grain size, achieving uniform microstructure, and improving structural defects. Make it fully capable of meeting the needs of wind turbines.
Integrity, professionalism, and service are the core concepts advocated by WH-STEEL. As a manufacturing and sales enterprise of flange, elbow, tee and other pipeline equipment products, we have a professional technical team, top-notch production equipment, and high-quality service attitude. By choosing WH-STEEL, we will repay your trust with high-quality products and services.
