Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aero-engine blade processing, in particular to a processing method of a thin-wall mounting plate type slender blade. BACKGROUND
[0002] The rectification blade is assembled in the engine casing through the blade mounting plate, provides a certain direction and flow stability for the compressor or combustion chamber rotor blade, and makes the compressor rotor blade obtain stable working conditions, provides stable high pressure airflow for the combustion chamber, and promotes efficient operation.
[0003] The rectification blade is divided into a shaft neck type blade, a guide window blade and a mounting plate type blade.
[0004] Generally, the mounting plate of the mounting plate type rectification blade is in an arc shape, and is assembled into a whole circle and fixed on the casing during assembly. The main steps of processing this type of blade are: positioning the base material on the alloy block by pouring low melting point alloy to convert the base material reference, processing the mounting plate; drilling the center hole in the blade tip process section, clamping the mounting plate and tightening the center hole, and processing the blade body and the inner side of the mounting plate. The disadvantages are:
[0005] First, the base material reference conversion is completed by pouring low melting point alloy, which involves multiple reference conversions, poor consistency, and the processing quality of the blade body surface is strongly related to the accuracy of the poured alloy. Before batch pouring, 5-8 parts need to be poured for trial processing, which has a large error and batch scrap risk, and low processing efficiency.
[0006] Second, the center hole positioning method is not suitable for thin mounting plates and slender blade bodies. The reason is that the mounting plate is thin (thickness less than 2mm), the clamping area is too small, and the clamping force of the clamp is insufficient. For slender thin-wall blade bodies, when the center hole is tightened, the middle part of the blade body is a typical weak stiffness area, which is prone to obvious surface vibration marks due to the coupling of cutting vibration frequency and inherent vibration frequency of the part. Especially when the blade material is nickel-based high-temperature alloy (such as GH4169, GH4169D, GH3128, etc.), the surface vibration marks of this type of blade body are more obvious. Therefore, a mounting plate type slender thin-wall blade processing method needs to be researched and designed. SUMMARY
