Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing aero-engine components, specifically a method for preparing ceramic matrix composite blades. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of aerospace technology, the performance requirements for aero-engines are increasing. As one of the key components of aero-engines, blades need to withstand large loads in harsh environments such as high temperature and high pressure, and also need to maintain high stability in such harsh environments. Therefore, blades need to have high strength and high stiffness. The strength and stiffness of blades mainly depend on the proportion of fiber continuity in their fabrication process. This requires that when designing blade preforms, not only should the design structure, shape, size, layup method, ease of shaping, damage and defects of the preform and allowance for processing, thermal expansion matching between materials and tooling, deposition efficiency and loss rate be fully considered, but also the proportion of fiber continuity should be fully taken into account. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of an existing blade, which includes a blade body 02 and a tenon 03. Currently, ceramic matrix composite blades are typically fabricated by first preparing the blade body 02 and the tenon 03 separately, and then riveting them together. However, this method has the problem that the resulting blade has a low fiber continuity ratio, resulting in poor mechanical properties such as strength and stiffness. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problems of existing methods for preparing ceramic matrix composite blades, such as the low proportion of continuous fiber in the blades and poor mechanical properties such as strength and stiffness, and to provide a method for preparing ceramic matrix composite blades.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A method for preparing a ceramic matrix composite blade, the blade comprising a blade body and a tenon; the tenon being connected to the tail end of the blade body; characterized in that it includes the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Design the blade preform

[0007] Step 1.1: Establish the mid-surface based on the curvature of the upper and lower surfaces of the blade;

[0008] Step 1.2: Based on the intermediate surface, design the upper surface and lower surface of the blade. Then, reserve a machining allowance of 0.5 to 1.0 mm in the thickness direction of the upper surface and lower surface of the blade to obtain the intermediate body of the blade. Reserve a machining allowance of 5.0 to 10 mm on both sides and the front end of the intermediate body of the blade to obtain the blade preform.

[0009] Step 1.3: Based on the intermediate surface, extend it 5.0-10mm beyond the tenon tail to form an extension surface. Then, based on the extension surface, design the upper and lower tenon profiles. Leave a machining allowance of 0.5-1.0mm in the thickness direction of both the upper and lower tenon profiles to obtain the tenon intermediate body. Leave a machining allowance of 5.0-10mm on both sides of the tenon intermediate body to obtain the tenon prefabricated body. The tenon prefabricated body and the blade prefabricated body constitute the blade prefabricated body.

[0010] Step 2: Fabricate a shaping mold based on the blade preform;

[0011] Step 3: Determine the number of layers of blade fiber cloth and tenon fiber cloth according to the thickness of the blade preform and tenon preform respectively; determine the cutting size of blade fiber cloth and tenon fiber cloth according to the size of blade preform and tenon preform respectively, and cut them accordingly.

[0012] Step 4: Using the shaping mold and the blade fiber cloth and tenon fiber cloth cut in Step 3, shape the blade preform.

The first arc-shaped concave surface is adapted to the lower surface of the tenon preform, and the second arc-shaped concave surface is adapted to the lower surface of the blade preform. The mounting surface of the lower mold is provided with a second sewing hole corresponding to the first sewing hole. The lower mold is provided with a second positioning hole corresponding to the first positioning hole.

[0019] The fastening assembly is used to secure the upper and lower molds after mold closing;

[0020] Step 4 specifically includes the following steps:

[0021] Step 4.1: Lay the cut blade fiber cloth from step 3 onto the second arc-shaped convex surface, then lay the cut tenon fiber cloth from step 3 onto the first arc-shaped convex surface until it is flush with the outermost blade fiber cloth. Finally, lay the remaining tenon fiber cloth onto the first arc-shaped concave surface to obtain the stacked upper and lower molds.

[0022] Alternatively, the blade fiber cloth cut in step 3 is layered and laid on the second arc-shaped concave surface, and then the tenon fiber cloth cut in step 3 is layered and laid on the first arc-shaped concave surface until it is flush with the outermost blade fiber cloth. Finally, the remaining tenon fiber cloth is layered and laid on the first arc-shaped convex surface to obtain the layered upper mold and lower mold.

[0023] Step 4.2: Close the stacked upper and lower molds and fasten them with fastening components to obtain the shaped blade preform;

[0024] Step 4.3: Use a 0.15mm feeler gauge to check the fitting gap between the shaped blade preform and the upper and lower molds. If the fitting gap is ≥0.15mm, proceed to step 4.4; if the fitting gap is <0.15mm, proceed to step 5.

[0025] Step 4.4: Disassemble the fastening components, add re-cut blade fiber cloth and tenon fiber cloth to the outermost blade fiber cloth and tenon fiber cloth, and return to step 4.2.

[0026] Furthermore, in step 2, the diameter of the first sewing hole and the second sewing hole are both 3-5 mm, and the distance between adjacent first sewing holes and adjacent second sewing holes is both 5-8 mm.

[0027] The mounting surfaces of both the upper and lower molds are of equal wall thickness.

After holding it at this temperature for 1-3 hours, argon, hydrogen, ammonia and boron trichloride gas are introduced sequentially for deposition until a blade preform with a boron nitride interface layer with a thickness of 150-750nm is obtained. Continue to hold it at this temperature for 1-3 hours, and then cool it to room temperature.

[0033] Alternatively, the preformed blade with the edge locked is placed in a chemical vapor deposition furnace, and then heated to 500-1000℃ under a furnace pressure of 10-70Pa. After holding at this temperature for 1-3 hours, argon and propylene gases are introduced sequentially for deposition until a preformed blade with a pyrolytic carbon interface layer of 100-350nm thickness is obtained. The temperature is then maintained for another 1-3 hours, and then cooled to room temperature.

[0034] Step 6.2: Under a furnace pressure of 200-5000 Pa, heat to 900-1200℃ and hold for 1-2 hours. Then, introduce a mixed gas of trichloromethylsilane, hydrogen, and argon, with a flow rate ratio of 1-10:10-12:10-30, to deposit the blade preform obtained in Step 6.1 until a particle size distribution of 1.7-1.8 g / cm³ is achieved. 3 The blade preform with high density silicon carbide matrix layer is kept at a constant temperature for 1-3 hours, and then cooled to room temperature.

[0035] Furthermore, step 7 specifically includes:

[0036] After removing the upper and lower molds, the blade preform obtained in step 6.2 is first machined, and then silicon carbide substrate is deposited according to the deposition method in step 6.2 until the density of the silicon carbide substrate layer is >2.4 g / cm³. 3 To obtain ceramic matrix composite blades.

[0037] Furthermore, in step 2, each of the fastening components includes two pressure bars, two double-ended bolts, and four nuts;

[0038] The two pressure strips are respectively used to abut against the opposite surfaces of the mounting surfaces of the upper mold and the lower mold.

Detailed Implementation

[0054] A method for preparing ceramic matrix composite blades, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the blade 01 includes a blade body 02 and a tenon 03, with the tenon 03 connected to the tail end of the blade body 02. The manufacturing method includes the following steps:

[0055] Step 1: Design the blade preform 22

[0056] Step 1.1: Establish the middle surface 24 based on the curvature of the upper and lower surfaces of the blade 02;

[0057] Step 1.2: Based on the intermediate surface 24, design the upper surface and lower surface of the blade. Then, reserve a machining allowance of 0.5-1.0 mm in the thickness direction of the upper surface and lower surface of the blade (0.5 mm machining allowance in this embodiment) to obtain the blade intermediate body. Reserve a machining allowance of 5.0-10 mm on both sides and the front end of the blade intermediate body (8 mm machining allowance in this embodiment) to obtain the blade preform 23.

[0058] Step 1.3: Based on the intermediate surface 24, extend it towards the tenon 03 to exceed the tail of the tenon 03 by 5.0-10mm (8mm machining allowance in this embodiment), forming an extension surface. Then, based on the extension surface, design the upper and lower tenon surfaces. Then, reserve 0.5-1.0mm machining allowance in the thickness direction of the upper and lower tenon surfaces respectively (0.5mm machining allowance in this embodiment), to obtain the tenon intermediate body. Reserve 5.0-10mm machining allowance on both sides of the tenon intermediate body (8mm machining allowance in this embodiment), to obtain the tenon prefabricated body 21. The tenon prefabricated body 21 and the blade prefabricated body 23 constitute the blade prefabricated body 22.

[0059] Step 2: Create a shaping mold based on the blade preform 22, such as... Figures 4-6As shown, the forming mold includes an upper mold 3, a lower mold 4, and two fastening components 8. Specifically, the mounting surface of the upper mold 3 includes a first arc-shaped convex surface and a second arc-shaped convex surface. The first arc-shaped convex surface is adapted to the upper surface of the tenon preform 21, and the second arc-shaped convex surface is adapted to the upper surface of the blade preform 23. A first sewing hole 9 is provided on the mounting surface of the upper mold 3, and first positioning holes 10 are provided at two corner positions of the upper mold 3. The mounting surface of the lower mold 4 includes a first arc-shaped concave surface and a second arc-shaped concave surface. The first arc-shaped concave surface is adapted to the lower surface of the tenon preform 21, and the second arc-shaped concave surface is adapted to the lower surface of the blade preform 23. A second sewing hole 11 corresponding to the first sewing hole 9 is provided on the mounting surface of the lower mold 4, and a second positioning hole 12 corresponding to the first positioning hole 10 is provided on the lower mold 4. The mounting surfaces of the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 4 are both surfaces with equal wall thickness. The diameter of the first sewing hole 9 and the second sewing hole 11 is 3-5 mm, and the distance between adjacent first sewing holes 9 and adjacent second sewing holes 11 is 5-8 mm.

[0060] Each fastening assembly 8 includes two pressure strips 6, two double-ended bolts 7, and four nuts 5. The two pressure strips 6 are respectively used to abut against the opposite surfaces of the mounting surfaces of the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 4. The two double-ended bolts 7 are respectively used to pass through both ends of the two pressure strips 6 and are fastened by the four nuts 5.

[0061] In this embodiment, the shaping mold is made of high-strength fine graphite. The diameter of both the first slit hole 9 and the second slit hole 11 is 3mm, and the distance between adjacent first slit holes 9 and adjacent second slit holes 11 is 5mm. In other embodiments, the shaping mold can be made of high-purity graphite or electrode graphite.

[0062] Step 3: Determine the number of layers of blade fiber cloth and tenon fiber cloth based on the thickness of the blade preform 23 and tenon preform 21, respectively; determine the cutting dimensions of the blade fiber cloth and tenon fiber cloth based on the dimensions of the blade preform 23 and tenon preform 21, and then cut them; a 6-10mm overlock allowance is reserved in the cutting dimensions of the blade fiber cloth and tenon fiber cloth to avoid delamination during subsequent preparation due to unsealed edges. In this embodiment, a 10mm overlock allowance is reserved.

[0063] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the machining allowance reserved in steps 1.2 and 1.3, the hole diameter of the first sewing hole 9 and the second sewing hole 11 in step 2, the hole spacing between adjacent first sewing holes 9 and adjacent second sewing holes 11, and the edge-locking allowance reserved in step 3 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0064] Step 4: Shaping of blade preform 22

[0065] Step 4.1: Lay the cut blade fiber cloth from step 3 onto the second arc-shaped convex surface, then lay the cut tenon fiber cloth from step 3 onto the first arc-shaped convex surface until it is flush with the outermost blade fiber cloth. Finally, lay the remaining tenon fiber cloth onto the first arc-shaped concave surface to obtain the upper mold 3 and lower mold 4 after lamination.

[0066] In other embodiments, this step is specifically as follows: the blade fiber cloth cut in step 3 is layered and laid on the second arc-shaped concave surface, and then the tenon fiber cloth cut in step 3 is layered and laid on the first arc-shaped concave surface until it is flush with the outermost blade fiber cloth. Finally, the remaining tenon fiber cloth is layered and laid on the first arc-shaped convex surface to obtain the layered upper mold 3 and lower mold 4.

[0067] Step 4.2: Close the stacked upper mold 3 and lower mold 4, and secure them with fastening components 8 to obtain the shaped blade preform 22, as shown. Figures 4-6 As shown;

[0068] Step 4.3: Use a 0.15mm feeler gauge to check the fitting gap between the shaped blade preform 22 and the upper mold 3 and lower mold 4. If the fitting gap is ≥0.15mm, proceed to step 4.4; if the fitting gap is <0.15mm, proceed to step 5.

[0069] Step 4.4: Disassemble fastening assembly 8, add re-cut blade fiber cloth and tenon fiber cloth to the outermost blade fiber cloth and tenon fiber cloth, and return to step 4.2.

[0070] Step 5: The shaped blade preform 22 is sewn together. During the sewing process, the steel needle is perpendicular to the surface of the shaped mold. The sewn joint is left on the non-installation surface of the shaped mold. Then, the edge is locked. The edge locking needs to meet the following conditions: no needle slippage, and the needle spacing ≤ 3mm, in order to prevent defects such as delamination in the subsequent chemical vapor deposition process.

[0071] Step 6: The preformed blade 22 after edge locking is subjected to interface layer deposition and silicon carbide substrate layer deposition sequentially using chemical vapor deposition; specifically including the following steps:

[0072] Step 6.1: Place the edge-locked blade preform 22 in a chemical vapor deposition furnace, and then, under a furnace pressure of 50-1000 Pa, heat it to 650-1000℃ and hold it for 1-3 hours. Then, sequentially introduce argon, hydrogen, ammonia, and boron trichloride gas for deposition until a blade preform 22 with a boron nitride interface layer of 150-750 nm thickness is obtained. Continue to hold it for 1-3 hours, and then cool it to room temperature. In this embodiment, the furnace pressure is 850 Pa, the temperature is raised to 950℃, and held for 3 hours.

[0073] In other embodiments, this step specifically involves: placing the edge-locked blade preform 22 in a chemical vapor deposition furnace, then heating it to 500-1000℃ under a furnace pressure of 10-70 Pa, holding it at that temperature for 1-3 hours, and then sequentially introducing argon and propylene gases for deposition until a blade preform 22 with a pyrolytic carbon interface layer of 100-350 nm thickness is obtained, continuing to hold it at that temperature for 1-3 hours, and then cooling it to room temperature;

[0074] Step 6.2: Under a furnace pressure of 200-5000 Pa, heat to 900-1200℃ and hold for 1-2 hours. Then, introduce a mixed gas of trichloromethylsilane, hydrogen, and argon, with a flow rate ratio of 1-10:10-12:10-30, to deposit the blade preform 22 obtained in step 6.1 until a particle size of 1.7-1.8 g / cm³ is obtained. 3 The blade preform 22 with a high density silicon carbide substrate layer is kept at a constant temperature for 1-3 hours, and then cooled to room temperature. In this embodiment, the furnace pressure is 3000 Pa, the temperature is raised to 1100 °C, and held for 2 hours. The flow ratio of trichloromethylsilane, hydrogen, and argon is 1:10:10.

[0075] Step 7: Remove the upper mold 3 and lower mold 4. First, machine the blade preform 22 obtained in step 6.2, and then perform silicon carbide substrate deposition treatment according to the deposition method in step 6.2 until the density of the silicon carbide substrate layer is >2.4 g / cm³. 3 To obtain ceramic matrix composite blades.

[0076] It should be noted that the process parameters for the deposition treatment in step 6 are mature processes, and those skilled in the art can adjust them flexibly.
