IGT HP Turbine
Winbro produce the technology for making the holes/features that cool aero and gas turbine high pressure blades, vanes and segments. These holes are critical in allowing internal airflow to cool parts and prevent overheating during engine operation. Effective cooling holes enhances jet engine performance and producing cooling holes efficiently and economically are essential to the success of the new generation of lightweight, low noise, fuel-efficient jet engines.
Cooling holes shield components from temperatures that are often higher than their melting point, making their precise design and manufacture a critical feature of the engine. Components are often cast from high nickel and high cobalt alloys to enhance performance and longevity. Winbro is experienced in all existing methods of producing cooling holes and does so for a global clientele.
