Turbocharger Impellers
Support your engine’s power and fuel efficiency with high-quality turbocharger impellers from EQI. We supply vacuum investment cast components tailored to your application’s performance requirements.
Why Choose Turbocharger Impellers?
For Greater Engine Output & Improved Efficiency
Enhance your engine with turbocharger impellers that help deliver compressed air for combustion. Paired with the right turbocharger system, they support higher power output and efficient use of exhaust energy.
Increase Torque & Power
Supply your engine with more air to support greater torque and power when you need it.
Enhance Combustion Efficiency
Achieve your performance goals with a compact engine by increasing the air available for combustion.
Optimize Exhaust Energy Use
Harness energy from exhaust gases to drive the turbocharger, helping your engine produce power more efficiently.
Common Materials
Turbocharger impellers operate under sustained high temperatures, pressures, and centrifugal loads in vehicle and aircraft engines. Materials must withstand these conditions while preserving the blades’ intricate shape and structural integrity.
Titanium and Stainless Steel
Commonly used for their ability to withstand high pressures and temperatures.
AISI 4063 Steel, Inconel 718, and Titanium 2646
Offer resistance to the temperatures, pressures, and centrifugal loads encountered during operation.
Turbocharger Impellers FAQ
What does a turbocharger impeller do?
The impeller, or compressor wheel, draws in and compresses air before it enters your engine. This increased air supply supports combustion and helps the engine generate more torque and power.
How does the impeller work with the turbine?
Exhaust gases spin the turbine, which connects to the compressor impeller through a shaft. As the turbine turns, it drives the impeller to compress incoming air and deliver it to the engine.
How does impeller design affect performance?
Blade shape, arrangement, and rotational speed influence airflow and pressure. Selecting the right design helps match your turbocharger’s performance to your engine’s requirements.
What conditions must turbocharger impellers withstand?
Impellers must maintain their shape and strength under high rotational speeds, centrifugal forces, and operating temperatures. Material selection depends on the component’s location and service conditions.
What materials are used for turbocharger impellers?
Options include titanium, stainless steel, and specialty alloys such as Inconel 718. The appropriate material depends on your component’s temperature, strength, and durability requirements.
What should I consider when selecting an impeller material?
Consider operating temperature, rotational speed, mechanical loads, and the need to preserve precise blade geometry. These requirements help determine which material is best suited to your application.
