Thick Steel Plates in Hydropower Equipment Manufacturing

Hydropower plants rely on massive mechanical components that must operate reliably under high pressure and continuous water flow. Thick steel plates are used in turbine housings, penstocks, and structural supports because of their excellent mechanical strength and stability. These components must resist both internal pressure and external vibration over long operating periods. Carefully selected thick plates also provide good weldability, allowing complex structures to be fabricated with precision. Their performance directly affects the efficiency and lifespan of hydropower generation systems.
