Lost wax casting process of the runner of a propeller turbine for small hydroelectric power plants

The runner blade of a propeller turbine has a complex profile and an uneven thickness, which causes severe and unpredictable problems during the manufacture procedure. This paper describes the manufacture procedure which includes advance computer solidification simulation, lost wax casting process and machining processes of the runner of a pico hydraulic propeller turbine.
