The wealth of our metallurgical knowledge embedded in our devoted team has seen Goodwin Steel Castings invited to participate in multiple research and development programmes within the power sector. We have developed a specialist capability of manufacturing large section cast materials with creep resistance at higher temperatures.

By continued investment in material and process development, we have developed cast materials, which make significant contributions to emission reduction. In having materials that can continuously operate at higher temperatures, this allows the turbines to operate at higher temperatures and thus more efficiently, resulting in lower CO2 emissions.

The most reliable advanced turbine efficiencies are achieved in the sector with the uptake of Goodwin Steel Castings’ G130 gamma prime strengthened nickel alloy for advanced ultra-supercritical operation at 700°C. Where nickel alloy is deemed cost prohibitive, our 9.5%Cr MARBN steels have been developed with exceptional creep rupture strength and hot corrosion resistance when operating at 630°C.

Goodwin Steel Castings support Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with mechanical and metallurgical material data at the onset of turbine development and can provide a complete manufacturing solution, inclusive of casting manufacture, non-destructive testing, fabrication / overlay welding, final machining and pressure testing.
