Refone Casting materials for the turbine housing
Mar , 08 2022
The life of a turbocharger can be affected by such factors as thermal cracking, fatigue and/or creep.The requirements for these highly stressed casting components rise as the unit size and performance capability increase. The turbine housing is of key importance here, as it is placed under extremely high thermal stress and is also the most expensive component due to its size, complexity and materi...

Journal Bearing VS Ball bearing-Refone performance turbo
Jun , 08 2022
Journal bearings rely on fluid films(usually oil) to support rotating shafts. Ball bearings provide the same support of shafts through mechanical means. Both bearings are used to counter radial and axial loads. Journal Bearings The portion of the shaft supported by the bearing is called the journal and is usually hardened for wear-resistance. Bearing pad material is usually a softer material such ...

Components of a turbocharger
Feb , 02 2023
The turbocharger consists of several main parts, which are the housing (including the turbine housing and compressor housing), rotor (including the shaft wheel and compressor wheel. Exhaust gas to push the shaft wheel to generate power, the turbine drives the compressor wheel to compress air), bearing housing (internal lubricating oil channels and bearings, responsible for heat dissipation and red...

Turbocharger castings
Feb , 14 2023
Turbocharger castings for high performance engines require materials that are compatible with the behavior of the components, especially when there is a need to reduce exhaust emissions and improve engine performance. As product size and performance capabilities increase, so do the demands on these highly stressed castings. A turbocharger basically consists of two main components. The turbine whee...
