AB  - After several decades of constant exploitation of the horizontal bulb turbine, which is an integral
part of the hydroelectric power unit, empirically, the formation of a crack occurs in the turbine shaft
due to the influence of corrosion, erosion and cavitation.
Through experimental tests and calculations it has been determined that values of bending stresses
of the turbine, which occur due to the action of fatigue and corrosion, as well as stress concentration,
are bigger than 25 MPa for flanges exposed to water, and in other case bigger than 40 MPa for
flanges exposed to `corrosive water` and can cause the occurrence of surface cracks on the transition
radius between the cylindrical part of the shaft and the flange. It has been determined that stress
values in the zone under the influence of bending stresses were bigger than allowable values, which
led to the occurrence of many cracks due to fatigue corrosion. One of those cracks caused the failure
of the shaft and of the whole turbine.
