Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this method is that the entire length of the blade is pressed instead of just one end of it
The strength characteristics of the blade are thus reduced due to the reduced thickness of its profile
In addition, this method is only suitable for one blade profile shape, and when used on different stages of blades, the rollers need to be replaced

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 shows a cross-section of a rotor 1 of a turbomachine compressor, including blades 2 mounted on the rotor 1 and a compressor disk 3 facing the blades 2 inside the rotor 1 . Each blade 2 has a root secured to the rotor 1 using techniques known to those skilled in the art, and the blades extend as far as the tip, or tip 4, to which the repair method that forms the subject of the present invention is directed.

[0022] Referring to Figure 2, which is a radial cross-section of a blade tip, the shape of the blade tip is a sharp edge 4, the thickness of which is determined by the expected mechanical strength characteristics, and its radial extension has a thinner portion 5, which is referred to by those skilled in the art as The grooved tip is used to form a seal against the casing surrounding the compressor. This thinning of the groove tip is such that it inadvertently penetrates into the abradable material to which the casing is incorporated, so ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for repairing a compressor blade (2) of a turbine engine, said blade comprising a cat's tongue (5) at the radial end thereof (4), the radial extension of which is less than a predefined nominal radial extension (6), said method including a step of elongating said cat's tongue via a cold-compacting operation applied to the walls of said tongue, such that the radial elongation thereof becomes greater than said nominal extension, characterized in that the compacting operation is a roller-burnishing operation carried out by moving the end of the blade (2) between two rollers (7) having rectilinear generatrices and spaced apart by a distance smaller than the thickness of said cat's tongue, along the chord connecting the leading edge with the trailing edge thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention is the field of aero-engines and, in particular, the field of repair of compressor blades of these engines. Background technique [0002] Aeroengines are traditionally constructed from assemblies consisting of one or more compressors that compress air drawn into an intake, a combustor that burns fuel mixed with air, one or more output combustors Part of the power is generated to drive the turbine(s) of one or more compressors, and an exhaust nozzle through which the resulting gases are ejected. Compressors are constructed as a series of stages, each stage consisting of a runner, or rotor, and a stator ring, or stator, all of which are fitted with blades, called rotor or stator blades, respectively. The rotor blades are held by their inner part, or root, through the axis of rotation of the engine, while their outer part, or tip, is held opposite the compressor housing, which encloses the entire air flow path and energizes the...
