Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hollow blade forming technology and equipment, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency forming method for wide-chord hollow blades. Background Art
[0002] Wide chord hollow blades are one of the important components of aircraft engines and gas turbines. At present, their manufacturing is mainly achieved through two key processes: superplastic forming and diffusion bonding. In such existing technologies, multiple heating and cooling cycles are required when performing superplastic forming and diffusion bonding, making it extremely difficult to control the quality of the inside and surface of the blade products. For example, the microstructure and internal stress are prone to unevenness and degradation. If they are not discovered and handled, the performance of the blades in actual use may be unstable; the grain coarsening phenomenon that occurs after multiple heating has the risk of reducing the fatigue life and corrosion resistance of the material, resulting in insufficient reliability of the blade products. At the same time, the existing technology also has many shortcomings in terms of production efficiency and cost. For example, when performing different processes such as superplastic forming and diffusion bonding, the blanks need to be transferred between the corresponding equipment, and the replacement of the mold also requires necessary positioning and debugging, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. The repeated heating and cooling of multiple equipment will cause a lot of energy and time waste, and the parts and molds that are in a high temperature and high pressure environment for a long time in the equipment also need frequent maintenance, resulting in high overall manufacturing costs. Therefore, how to improve the manufacturing process of wide-chord hollow blades to improve production efficiency and reduce costs while ensuring the quality of blade products is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.
