Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of precision casting of aero-engine parts, in particular, relates to a kind of vane multilayer formwork thickness nondestructive testing device. Furthermore, the present application also relates to a kind of measuring method comprising the above-mentioned vane multilayer formwork thickness nondestructive testing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The information provided in this section is for the purpose of generally presenting the context of the present application. To the extent that the descriptions in this section describe the work of the inventors, and to the extent that the descriptions are not considered to be prior art to the present application, the descriptions are not, and should not be considered to be, admitted as prior art to the present application.

[0003] In order to improve the temperature capacity, the hot end vane of the aero-engine usually has three mainstream technologies, and the hollow air cooling design of the vane is an important one. The cold air passes through the complex channel inside the vane to take away the heat of the vane. When the vane has a cavity, considering the strength of the vane when rotating at high temperature and high speed, the heat exchange efficiency when the cold air passes through the inner cavity and other performance and safety requirements, the wall thickness size from the cavity area to the vane body surface is often required.

[0004] Investment casting is still the main production process for producing aero-engine turbine vanes, and the main processes are mold making, shell making, pouring and post-processing. Shell making is a process of coating a specified number of refractory slurry and refractory material on the wax mold assembly tree, and after drying, a shell with a cavity is prepared. Currently, this process can be realized by manual or automatic means.

[0005] The effect of wax mold assembly hanging slurry is directly related to the operator or the control program of the mechanical hand. When manual spraying is used, the operator needs to adjust the posture of the mold assembly while observing the slurry flow, to avoid slurry accumulation, ensure uniform slurry coating, and ultimately obtain a uniform thickness shell. However, due to uncontrollable factors such as slurry viscosity (flowability evaluation index) fluctuations and operator skill level, the actual obtained shell is prone to uneven thickness, affecting the casting solidification sequence and deteriorating the metallurgical quality of the casting.

[0006] In the production process, there is a more difficult problem, that is, how to measure the thickness of each layer of shell at different positions of the vane?

[0007] On the one hand, the shell is attached to the surface of the wax mold, so the overall shape is consistent with the shape of the wax mold, and has a complex three-dimensional curved surface. On the other hand, the shell is composed of slurry sand, and the sand particles themselves are irregular in shape, which also determines the uneven surface characteristics of the shell. With the increase of the number of shell layers and the size of sand particles, it is even more so.

[0008] The industry has a method of using CT radiography to obtain the wall thickness size of complex hollow castings. But this method is difficult to achieve satisfactory imaging effect for the mold shell composed of refractory powder and refractory sand with similar density, and it is also impossible to characterize and measure because the interface between each layer of the mold shell is not clear.

[0009] After long-term research, we propose a method for measuring the thickness of each layer of the mold shell at different positions of the blade.

[0010] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only used to strengthen the understanding of the background of the present application, and therefore can include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
