Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of special electrodes and processes for centering dovetail grooves of turbine blades, and in particular to a method for processing dovetail grooves of turbine blades that can be centered. Background Art

[0002] The working blades of high-pressure turbines have a complex inner cavity structure. In order to ensure that the core strength meets the casting requirements or the core stripping is smooth during the casting process, it is generally necessary to design one or more casting process holes on the bottom end face of the tenon, and then seal the process hole later. The sealing method is generally to process a dovetail-shaped groove on the basis of the process hole. The dovetail groove has a small structural size, a straight surface on the back side of the basin (Y direction), and a degree surface on the intake and exhaust side (X direction). Use pressure to press the curved sealing plate into the dovetail groove. After the pressure flattens the curved plate, the plate is clamped by the slope of the dovetail groove wall in the X direction. The symmetry center of the dovetail groove must be consistent with the symmetry center of the process hole to ensure that the plate is reliably embedded. According to the position and shape requirements of the dovetail groove, the present invention designs an alignable electrode and a processing technology that can meet the processing requirements of this type of dovetail groove.
