Did you know that deep compression is a highly effective repair solution for steam turbines? This technique is provides a cost-effective and efficient way to restore and improve the performance of these vital components. You can read more about it in this article for TurboMachinery International.

The article discusses how deep compression works and its numerous benefits. By subjecting the turbine blades to controlled compressive stress, this technique helps eliminate cracks and defects while enhancing structural integrity. This process not only extends the lifespan of the blades but also improves their overall performance.

This article provides valuable insights into how deep compression can address common turbine issues, including fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, stress concentrations and more. By implementing this solution during manufacturing or repair, power plants can minimize downtime, improve reliability, and increase their energy output.

Foreign Object Damage What is it? Foreign object damage (FOD) is the formation of any nick or dent in the surface of a component or structure caused by something alien to the main system or vehicle. FOD is the nemesis of aircraft engines and structures, as well as ground-based turbines. It is usuall...

In the oil, gas, and power industries, LPB® is already improving fatigue resistance, reducing stress corrosion cracking, and minimizing unplanned outages in:

• Turbine blade roots and fir trees
• Valve seats and housings
• Fracking pump fluid ends
• Turbine bolts
• Weld zones and dissimilar metal joints
• Downhole tubular components

As infrastructure ages and performance demands increase, LPB® is positioned to solve emerging challenges (especially in high-pressure, high-temperature, and cyclic loading environments). Whether you’re optimizing for uptime, safety, or sustainability, LPB® enables longer service life and lower lifecycle cost.

How Much Does LPB® Cost?

It’s one of the most common questions we get, and the answer is: it depends.

The cost of LPB® varies based on part geometry, material, and production volume. Some components require custom tooling or complex surface access, while others are more straightforward. We quote each project individually to ensure performance and cost-efficiency.

If you’re familiar with custom shot peening, you'll find LPB®’s non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs are in a similar range, often with far greater long-term value.

Here’s what doesn’t vary:
✔️ LPB® is a one-time, field-safe application
✔️ It can reduce or eliminate recurring inspection costs
✔️ It significantly extends component life
✔️ It reduces waste from part replacement and overhaul

When you look beyond unit price to total lifecycle value, LPB® consistently outperforms traditional surface treatments.
