Verfahren zur Herstellung einer hohlen Turbinenschaufel

摘要

The method esp. for a ducted fan turbine rotor, involves simulating the assembly of the blade's components by computer aided design, forging and machining the primary components, depositing diffusion barriers in a predetermined sequence, assembling the primary components by diffusion welding under isostatic pressure, and inflating the blade with gas pressure to achieve super-plastic moulding, followed by final machining. The forging process is carried out in a hot matrix at a temperature of 0.7 to 0.8 of the melting point of the material involved, with the pressing tools heated to 80 per cent of the workpiece temperature. The blade is made from a titanium alloy, e.g. TA6V, with a workpiece matrix temperature of between 880 and 950 deg.C and a tool temperature of 600 - 850 deg.C, designed to produce a microstructure with a grain size of under 10 mcm.
