The invention aims at providing a method for designing a blade blank for electrolytic machining. A blade is a compressor stator blade without a mounting plate, and the blade blank is composed of the mounting plate, a blade body profile and a process boss. The blade blank is mainly designed from the following four aspects: (1) the design of the mounting plate, specifically, the mounting plate is added at the root of the blade; (2) the design of the process boss, specifically, the process boss is added at the tip of the blade; (3) the design of the theoretical allowance of the blade body profile, specifically, the single allowance of a blade body is designed to be 1.2mm, the allowance is added along the normal, and both the exhausting and leading edges of the blade body are phi 2mm and extend outwards for 3mm; and (4) the control of tolerance of the blade body profile, specifically, the control of tolerance of the blade body profile is designed as +0.4mm and -0.2mm. The blade blank designed by the method is used in electrolytic machining and can solve the problems of low production efficiency, easy deformation and poor precision in the traditional machining method.
