Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas turbine technology, specifically to a supercritical gas turbine turbine turbine turbine blade holding ring and its digital casting process. Background Technology

[0002] In the current operation of gas turbines, the stator ring is a crucial component. Its high-temperature and highly corrosive working environment necessitates stringent requirements for its inherent properties. However, with current technology, after prolonged use, the stator ring exhibits varying degrees of damage and missing material, particularly at the inner pressure plate bolt area, where cracks, pitting, and missing material are observed. Furthermore, the entire stator ring displays characteristics of high-temperature oxidation, with signs of loosening at the connections and internal corrosion of the bolts by the gas.

[0003] In addition, the stationary blade ring exhibits obvious elliptical deformation, which causes the heat shield ring that fixes the turbine stationary blade and the turbine cylinder slot to frequently jam and become difficult to disassemble and assemble smoothly, affecting the overall structure and even potentially leading to production safety accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a supercritical gas turbine turbine turbine blade holding ring with a reasonable structural design, resistance to deformation, convenient assembly and disassembly, safety and reliability, and good practicality, as well as a digital casting process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a turbine blade holding ring for a supercritical gas turbine, comprising a first metal ring, a second metal ring detachably disposed on the inner surface of the first metal ring, a plurality of spring grooves disposed on the inner surface of the first metal ring, and a spring positioning rod integrally disposed on the outer surface of the second metal ring aligned with each spring groove, a positioning spring sleeved on each spring positioning rod, and the inner ends of each spring positioning rod and the positioning spring being inserted into the aligned spring groove;

[0006] The first metal ring has a plurality of first through holes axially arranged on it, and the second metal ring has a second through hole aligned with each of the first through holes. A fixing bolt is inserted into each first through hole and the aligned second through hole, and the first metal ring and the second metal ring are connected and fixed by the fixing bolt.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning spring is a stainless steel spring; the fixing bolt is a stainless steel bolt.

[0008] Preferably, the casting process for both the first metal ring and the second metal ring includes the following steps:

[0009] (1) Place the dried sand core through the casting mold, close the box, complete the casting model, place the furnace charge in the medium frequency furnace for smelting to form molten steel, the smelting temperature is 1500~1650℃, then add deoxidizer for final deoxidation and transfer the molten steel into the ladle.

[0010] (2) After the molten steel is transferred into the ladle, the molten steel is refined by argon blowing in the ladle for 3-5 minutes, and then poured into the casting mold to form the shape.

[0011] (3) After the cast steel parts are formed, they are cooled naturally to remove the casting sand from the outside of the cast steel parts;

[0012] (4) After the sand removal is completed, the semi-finished product is put into a shot blasting machine to remove surface impurities;

[0013] (5) Cast steel parts are manually polished after being treated by shot blasting machine;

[0014] (6) After grinding, the first metal ring is inspected and put into storage.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the casting process of both the first metal ring and the second metal ring is monitored by a digital monitoring system for casting process: real-time reception of casting equipment production process parameters, production product information, and mold information; on-site operators or technicians adjust the production process parameters of the on-site casting equipment based on quality inspection results such as X-ray inspection, appearance inspection, or machine adjustment inspection.

[0016] When the digital monitoring system for casting processes detects a change in the production process parameters on the casting equipment, the system will begin to track and record this process change.

[0017] If there are no further changes to the process parameters one hour after the last adjustment, the system will summarize and record the process parameter adjustment history, forming a complete process parameter adjustment result in the system. Subsequently, relevant management personnel can select or input the reason for the process change in the system based on the full record of the process adjustment result in the system, and write the corresponding reason analysis to form a casting equipment process change adjustment data.

[0018] Preferably, the digital monitoring system for the casting process includes an information acquisition module, a data processing module, and a data analysis module.

[0019] Information acquisition module: Used to collect real-time information from casting equipment and quality inspection equipment, to know the current production status of casting products, mold model, process parameter information, to monitor products with abnormal quality inspection results and to monitor casting process changes in real time, and to connect with the intelligent casting machine adjustment system and mold management system to retrieve relevant process parameters;

[0020] Data processing module: Records every change in the casting process, and summarizes and aggregates key information such as the results of each casting process adjustment, process parameters, and cause analysis based on the on-site handling situation;

[0021] Data analysis module: Used to record every change and adjustment of process parameters, and to accumulate process parameter adjustment process, cause analysis and machine adjustment experience to form a knowledge base.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, the chemical composition of the molten steel is C 0.16%, Mn 1.04%, P 0.015%, S 0.004%, Si 0.183%, Nb 0.005%, Mo 0.001%, V 0.0006%, Ti 0.004%, B 0.0003%, with the remainder being Fe.
