Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aero-engine blade processing, and particularly relates to a boring and milling tooling for the journal of a split diffusion welding structure blade. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of the aero-engine inlet casings adopt the design scheme of inlet struts and adjustable blades with a titanium alloy split diffusion welding structure. While bringing weight reduction and high reliability to the engine, it also brings many challenges to the processing and manufacturing of the blades.

[0003] For the blades with a split diffusion welding structure, a process manufacturing scheme of single-piece machining of the inner cavity - diffusion welding connection - component machining of the outer contour is adopted. Therefore, a process scheme of first machining the outer contour of the blade profile and then machining parts such as the journal and the blade shoulder is generally adopted. For the journal-type split diffusion welding blade, after machining the blade profile, a square positioning is required to machine the journal. The journal tolerance is generally extremely precise, and the minimum tolerance is only 0.011 mm. The schematic diagrams before and after blade machining are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when machining this blade, two square blocks on both sides are used for positioning. The blade is relatively long. In order not to cause interference during machining the journal, the clamping parts on both sides are small, and the blade is prone to jitter during machining, making it impossible to ensure the diameter tolerance of the journal machining and the position degree of the journal.
