Abstract: Cause of quenching cracks in a heavy forging of wind turbine system was analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectrum. The results show that the initial position of the quenching crack is located at the protuberance position on inner wall of central hole of the heavy forging. The quenching crack is caused by the combined action of the additional stress at the protuberance on inner wall and the internal stress generated in the segregation region during heat treatment.

Key words: wind turbine system, heavy forging, heat treatment, quenching cracking, segregation
