[0036] The aircraft engine main casing 6 includes a circular casing shell, and a lubricating oil cavity is integrated on the outer periphery of the lower part of the casing shell to form a lubricating oil tank 6e covering the outer periphery of the lower part of the casing shell; the outer wall of the lubricating oil tank 6e is provided with a mounting seat 6f, a lug 6g, an oil inlet 6h and an oil outlet 6j, etc., thereby forming a plurality of outer bosses on the outer wall of the lubricating oil tank 6e. The outer boss part is thicker and heavier, and is prone to sagging under the action of gravity during heat treatment, so it is necessary to support the above-mentioned part.
[0037] The upper center of the casing shell is provided with a center cylinder extending upward, the upper part of the center cylinder exceeds the casing shell and is provided with an upper flange 6a, and the lower end of the center hole of the center cylinder is provided with a center cylinder inner step 6b with an expanded diameter.

The upper end of the support positioning sleeve 3a is screwed with a rotating screw 3b through a threaded connection. The top of the rotating screw 3b abuts against the lower part of the outer boss of the aircraft engine main casing 6 through a circular support block 3c. The installation position of the rotating support rod 3 can be selected according to the position and height of the outer boss, and adjusted to an appropriate jacking height to support and limit the casting, thereby preventing the thermal expansion and contraction effect during heat treatment.
[0042] The heat treatment tooling is installed in the following order: first, measure the outer diameter of the lower flange of the engine main casing, select a suitable diameter adjusting metal ring 4; then install the T-shaped block 5 on the annular base 1, then put the lower flange 6d of the aircraft engine main casing 6 into the annular groove 1c on the annular base 1, then embed the diameter adjusting metal ring 4 between the annular groove 1c and the outer periphery of the main casing lower flange, and fix the lower flange 6d; at this time, the T-shaped block 5 is supported at the bottom of the main casing oil tank, and shims can be inserted below the T-shaped block 5 to adjust the height of the top surface thereof.
[0043] Then, the rotating support rod 3 is installed in the support rod positioning hole 1b, and the height of the top of the rotating screw rod 3b is adjusted so that the circular support block 3c abuts against the lower side of the corresponding outer boss.
