GAS TURBINE ENGINE FAN BLADE TIP TREATMENT

摘要

A method of manufacturing a fan blade includes providing a metallic fan blade body, and applying at least a 200 volt potential to the fan blade body in a solution to produce a crystalline oxidation layer. A fan blade for a gas turbine engine includes a metallic fan blade body having a tip with a crystalline oxidation layer. A fan blade for a gas turbine engine includes a metallic fan blade body having a tip with a titanium dioxide layer.
