Description

Title of the invention: Part obtained by powder injection Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a powder injection molding method, particularly in the aeronautical field. In particular, the present invention relates to the manufacture of parts, such as turbomachine blades, by means of such a powder injection molding method. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Metal powder injection technology, also known by the acronym "MIM", for "Metal injection molding" in English, consists of injection molding from a mixture of metal powder and polymer binder.

[0003] The powder may be a metal, for example a titanium or aluminum alloy, or a ceramic. The mixture forms a granulate, also referred to as "feedstock" in English, which is extruded and then cut into flakes, also referred to as "pellets" in English, to be received and molded in an injection press.

[0004] Such technology makes it possible to manufacture metal products while meeting the needs of high production rates with good repeatability and good reproducibility.

[0005] Certain parts molded by injection of metal powders can deform, crack and / or present imperfections after sintering, in particular when they have a complex and / or slender geometry.

[0006] It can therefore be difficult to apply the technique of injection molding of metal powders to manufacture turbomachine blades. GENERAL STATEMENT

[0036] [Fig.l] is a schematic top view of an aircraft 1. More specifically, the aircraft 1 is an apparatus configured to rise and move in the air, and may, for example, be an airplane, civil or military, a helicopter, etc.

[0037] According to an example presented in [Fig.l], the aircraft 1 is an airplane comprising an airframe 10 composed of a fuselage, a wing comprising two wings, empennages, flight control surfaces and landing gear. The aircraft 1 further comprises a propulsion system 100 in order to give it the thrust necessary for its elevation and movement in the air.

[0038] Of course, the aircraft 1 may comprise a plurality of propulsion systems 100, for example one propulsion system 100 per wing according to the aircraft 1 illustrated by way of example in [Fig.l].

[0039] [Fig.2] is a schematic half-sectional view of a turbomachine 111 of the propulsion system 100 of the aircraft 1.

[0040] In particular, the propulsion system 100 thus comprises the turbomachine 111, having a main direction extending along a longitudinal axis X. The turbomachine 111 is configured to be fixed to the cell 10 of the aircraft 1, for example to the wings, in the case of the aircraft in [Fig.l], typically by means of a pylon. The turbomachine 111 can also be mounted at the rear of the fuselage, or even be integrated into the fuselage of the aircraft 1.

[0041] The turbomachine 111 may be a double-spool, double-flow, shrouded and direct-drive, as described below, but may also comprise a different number of spools and / or flows, and / or be another type of turbojet, such as a reduction turbojet or a turboprop, shrouded or not.

[0042] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "upstream" and "downstream" are used with reference to the overall direction of airflow through the propulsion system 100 in operation. Similarly, an axial direction corresponds to the direction of the longitudinal axis X and a radial direction is a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis X and intersecting the longitudinal axis X.

[0043] Furthermore, the adjectives "interior", or "internal", and "exterior", "external", are used with reference to a radial direction so that an interior part of an element is, in the radial direction, closer to the longitudinal axis X than an exterior part of the same element.

[0044] The turbomachine 111 comprises, from upstream to downstream in the direction of gas flow, a fan 1112, a primary body comprising a compression section comprising a low-pressure compressor 1113 and a high-pressure compressor 1114, a combustion chamber 1115, and a turbine section comprising a high pressure turbine 1116 and a low pressure turbine 1117.

[0045] The blower 1112 may be shrouded, that is to say it is housed in a retention casing 1111.

[0046] The blower may also be unducted, that is to say it is not housed in a retention casing and is in the form of propellers.

[0047] The air flow entering the turbomachine 111 following the suction generated by the fan 1112 and is divided into a primary flow configured to pass through the primary body and a secondary flow configured to bypass the primary body.

[0048] Furthermore, the turbomachine 111 comprises a high pressure shaft 1118 connected to the high pressure turbine 1116 and configured to drive the high pressure compressor 1114, and a low pressure shaft 1119 connected to the low pressure turbine 1117 and configured to drive the low pressure compressor 1113 and the fan 1112.

[0049] The turbomachine 111 comprises blades 22 configured to be mounted on a hub.

[0050] [Fig. 3] is a schematic perspective view of a blade 22 of the turbomachine 111.

[0051] The blade 22 comprises a root 23, a heel 25 and an aerodynamically profiled blade defining an airflow zone 24, i.e. a flow path for an air stream. The blade 22 further comprises a leading edge 27 and a trailing edge 28.

[0052] The leading edge 27 corresponds to an upstream portion of the aerodynamic profile 24 extending opposite the air flow. The leading edge 27 divides the air flow into an intrados flow and an extrados flow.

[0053] The trailing edge 28 corresponds to a downstream part of the aerodynamic profile 24, where the intrados and extrados flows meet.

[0054] The root 23 is configured to be fixed on a hub of a mobile wheel and the heel 25 forms a free end. In the case of a rectifier, the root 23 of the blade 22 is configured to be, for example fixed, on a hub of the rectifier and the heel 25 is configured to be mounted on a shroud of the rectifier. Blades of this type are present elsewhere in the turbomachine 111, for example in the compression section and in the low pressure turbine 1117.

[0055] The blade 22 may be obtained by MIM powder injection molding. The powder injection molding process includes a sintering step. A shrinkage of a molded part, in particular the blade 22, during sintering may be 15% of the volume of the part, in particular when it is a blade 22.

[0056] However, it is important to precisely control the dimensions of this type of part.

[0057] In addition, a sintering temperature, generally higher than 1200°C, can cause deformations or cracks.

[0058] The blade 22 is all the more sensitive to the shrinkage phenomenon and to the temperature extreme during sintering, that it has a generally asymmetrical structure, in particular with, at the level of the air vein zone 24, a thickness which can be up to 3.5 times less than a thickness of the foot 23 and / or the heel 25, which generates torsion and / or bending phenomena.

[0059] [Fig.4a] and 4b schematically illustrate a deformation field of the blade 22 of [Fig.3]. More specifically, FIGS. 4a and 4b illustrate in this regard the stress zones of the blade 22 during sintering.

[0060] In addition, other phenomena may occur during sintering, such as friction between the part and the frame on which it rests.

[0061] In the present description, an example of a part 50 manufactured by the powder injection molding process may comprise the blade 22, or even be the blade 22.

[0062] [Fig. 5] is a schematic perspective view of part 50, in particular blade 22, obtained by injection molding according to the invention.

[0063] It is intended to mold the part 50 with a plurality of protrusions 40 serving both as stiffeners and as support on the frame during sintering, so that the part 50, such as the blade 22, deforms homogeneously.

[0064] Each protrusion 40 projects from a main face 241 of the part 50, in particular the air flow zone 24 in the case of the blade 22. Thus, during sintering, the part 50 rests on the frame via the plurality of protrusions 40 instead of resting via a support separate from the part 50.

[0065] Furthermore, the protrusions 40 make it possible to reduce the difference in thickness between the various zones of the part 50, such as the air vein zone 24 and the root 23 and / or the heel 25 in the case of the blade 22.

[0066] The protrusions 40 also make it possible to limit the number of contact points between the part 50 and the frame, thus reducing the friction generated during sintering.

[0067] The part 50 obtained by injection molding of powders comprising the protuberances 40 is illustrated according to an example in [Fig.5].

[0068] The protuberances 40 extend projecting from the main face 241 of the part 50, for example from the intrados of the air flow zone 24 in the case of the blade 22, but could of course extend from the extrados of the air flow zone 24.

[0069] The protrusions 40 may vary in geometry as well as in number.

[0070] More particularly, each protuberance 40 has an end portion, opposite the main face 241 of the part 50. The extreme part of the protuberance 40 forms an upper edge 401 of the protuberance 40.

[0071] The upper edge 401 of protuberance 40 may be punctate, or substantially punctate, i.e. having a minimal surface, or be surface, i.e. having a substantially large surface area.

[0072] More specifically, according to the invention, all of the upper edges 401 of the protuberances 40 extend in the same plane P, as can be seen in [Fig.6].

[0073] Such an arrangement makes it possible to define and form a contact surface between the frame and the part 50 during sintering.

[0074] In order to limit the bending and / or twisting of the part 50, the plurality of protuberances 40 comprises at least a first rib 41 and a second rib 42. The first rib 41 and the second rib 42 may intersect at an intersection 400. In particular, the intersection 400 comprises a midpoint 44 of the part 50, in particular of the airflow zone 24 in the case of the blade 22. The intersection 400 designates a geometric location where the two volumes formed by the first rib 41 and the second rib 42 meet. The intersection 400 corresponds to a surface of the space comprising the midpoint 44, in particular centered on the midpoint 44. Furthermore, the midpoint 44 may correspond to the barycenter of the part 50.

[0075] Furthermore, such an arrangement of the first rib 41 and the second rib 42 makes it possible to take into account a reference point, in particular the midpoint 44, which remains fixed throughout the sintering. Thus, taking into account the reference point, in particular the midpoint 44, of the part 50 makes it possible to better control the shrinkage inherent in the sintering.

[0076] According to an example illustrated in [Fig.5], the first rib 41 and the second rib 42 intersect at the intersection 400 comprising the midpoint 44. The first rib 41 and the second rib 42 form two branches of a “cross” pattern. The first rib 41 and the second rib 42 therefore form an angle between them. According to various embodiments, the first rib 41 and the second rib 42 can be separated or tightened depending on the bending and / or twisting undergone by the part 50 during sintering.

[0077] In order to further support the part 50, in particular the air stream zone 24 in the case of the blade 22, the plurality of protrusions 40 may further comprise at least one third rib 43, distinguishing itself from the first rib 41 and the second rib 42.

[0078] The third rib 43 may intersect with the first rib 41 and the second rib 42, in particular at the level of the intersection 400.

[0079] According to the example illustrated in [Fig.5], the first rib 41, the second rib 42 and the third rib 43 are therefore concurrent at the intersection 400 and form three branches of a “star” pattern.

[0080] The first rib 41, the second rib 42 and the third rib 43 therefore form an angle between them. According to various embodiments, the first rib 41, the second rib 42 and third rib 43 can be spaced apart or tightened depending on the intensity of the bending and / or the twisting undergone by the part 50 during sintering.

[0081] The first rib 41, the second rib 42 and / or the third rib 43 may have several geometric shapes, identical or distinct. In addition, the first rib 41, the second rib 42 and / or the third rib 43 may in particular be rectilinear.

[0082] In order to further support the part 50, in particular the air stream zone 24 in the case of the blade 22, the plurality of protrusions 40 may further comprise at least one reinforcement 45, preferably a plurality of reinforcements 45. An example of reinforcement 45 is illustrated in [Fig.8b].

[0083] The reinforcement 45 extends between the first rib 41 and the second rib 42, in particular from the intersection 400. In particular, the reinforcement 45 connects a first face 410, in particular a first lateral face 410, of the first rib 41 to a second face 420, in particular a second lateral face 420, of the second rib 42.

[0084] The plurality of protrusions 40 may comprise at least a fourth rib 46, distinguished from the first rib 41, the second rib 42 and the third rib 43.

[0085] According to the example illustrated in [Fig.5], the plurality of protuberances 40 comprises at least ten fourth ribs 46, in particular at least twelve fourth ribs 46, in particular sixteen fourth ribs 46.

[0086] In addition, as illustrated in [Fig.7b], in order to further limit the sagging of the part 50, the plurality of protrusions 40 may further comprise at least one arch 47 connecting two ribs, in particular two fourth ribs 46, together. In particular, the arch 47 has a bend 471 having a curvature facing away from the main face 241. In particular, the curvature of the bend 471 may correspond to a concave hemispherical curvature of the arch 47.

[0087] Indeed, the arch 47 makes it possible to transfer part of the mass of the part 50, in particular of the air vein zone 24 in the case of the blade 22, to the protuberances 40.

[0088] Due to the significant sag in the center of the part 50, the arch 47 connects two fourth ribs 46 located in a central portion of the part 50. To transfer a greater portion of the mass of the part 50 to the protrusions 40, it may further be provided that the plurality of protrusions 40 comprises a plurality of arches 47.

[0089] According to an example illustrated in [Fig.5] and in more detail in [Fig.7b], the part 50 comprises a plurality of vaults 47 distributed in an arc between the first rib 41, the second rib 42 and / or the third rib 43.

[0090] The vault 47 connects two adjacent fourth ribs 46, notably arranged on a portion of ellipse between the first rib 41, the second rib 42 and / or the third rib 43.

[0091] According to another embodiment, the arch 47 can connect any protrusions 40 together.

[0092] In addition to the problems related to the sintering of the part 50, deformations may also occur as soon as the “green” part is obtained due to a geometry of the part 50 which is not suitable for molding. This may also generate at least one of the following phenomena: - strings of porosities generating a lack of material on part 50; - difficulties in filling the mold which cause areas of concentration of mechanical stresses in the part 50, and / or - a local variation in a 50 part withdrawal rate, more commonly known under the terminology of “black trace” or “segregation”.

[0093] Thus, in order to improve filling of the mold and / or uniform cooling of the part 50, it may be provided that two adjacent faces of a protuberance 40 and / or two adjacent faces of the part 50, such as two adjacent faces of the root 23 or of the heel 25 in the case of the blade 22, are connected by at least one rounding 48.

[0094] For example, as illustrated in [Fig.7a] and [Fig.7b], roundings 48 can thus substitute: - a projecting edge which would be formed by two adjacent faces 221, 222 of the heel 25; and / or - a projecting edge which would be formed by two adjacent faces 461, 462 of the fourth rib 46.

[0095] Furthermore, it may be further provided that two adjacent internal faces of the part 50, such as two adjacent internal faces of the root 23 or of the heel 25 in the case of the blade 22, oriented at an acute angle to each other, are connected by at least one radius 52.

[0096] An example of a radius 52 which connects two adjacent faces 231, 232 of the heel 25 is illustrated in particular by way of example in [Fig.8a].

[0097] The radius 52 and the rounding 48 may preferably have a connection radius of between 0.2 mm and 2 mm. The protrusions 40 may also have a thickness of between 1 mm and 8 mm.

[0098] The part 50 may also comprise at least one boss 60 connected to an end portion of the part 50, an example of which is illustrated in [Fig.8c]. The boss 60 may also be connected to the root 23 and / or to the heel 25 in the case of the blade 22.

[0099] Of course, the part 50 may comprise a plurality of bosses 60 connected to the end parts of the part 50, in particular to the foot 23 and / or to the heel 25 in the case of the blade 22.

[0100] In addition to acting on a geometry of the part 50, it is also possible to act on a direction of injection of the mixture to improve the filling of the mold.

[0101] For this purpose, the part 50 may comprise an injection sprue 70, also designated by the English term “sprue”, extending from an external face 242 of the part 50, such as the air vein zone 24, opposite the main face 241, in particular in a direction orthogonal to the external face 242.

[0102] An example of the injection core 70 is further illustrated by way of example on the part 50 of [Fig.6], in which the injection core 70 extends projecting and orthogonally from the main face 241 of the part 50, in particular from the extrados in the case of the blade 22.

[0103] In the example presented, the injection core 70 is centered on the midpoint 44. It may however be provided that the injection core 70 is offset relative to the midpoint 44.

[0104] In order to avoid the formation of strings of porosities within the part 50, the part 50 may further comprise at least one weight 80 extending from an end portion of the part 50, in particular from the root 23 and / or the heel 25 in the case of the blade 22. The string of porosities is then offset in the weight 80 and no longer remains within the part 50.

[0105] An example of a weight 80 located at the heel 25 of the blade 22 is illustrated in [Fig.8d].

[0106] [Fig.9] is a flowchart of an embodiment of a manufacturing method according to the invention, in particular of the blade 22 of the turbomachine 111.

[0107] The manufacturing method comprises at least one mixing step E1, during which a mixture is injected into a mold.

[0108] At the end of the mixing step E1, a part, sometimes called a “green”, is obtained. The part which results from the mixing step E1 is held in place by the binder.

[0109] As a result, the manufacturing method comprises at least one debinding step E2, during which the binder is removed. The debinding step E2 can be carried out in different ways, in particular by aqueous, thermal or chemical means.

[0110] At the end of the debinding step E2, a part, sometimes called “brown” is obtained.

[0111] The part resulting from the debinding step E2, from which almost all of the binder has been removed, is very fragile, in particular because it is composed of approximately 40% air, and is only bound by remnants of the binder.

[0112] The manufacturing method comprises at least one sintering step E3, during which the part resulting from the debinding step E2 is sintered. During the sintering step E3, the part resulting from the debinding step E2 is subjected to a temperature close to a melting point of the powder. Such a temperature allows the grains to weld together to create a solid.

[0113] At the end of the sintering step E3, a part, sometimes called a “grey” part, is obtained.

[0114] The part resulting from the sintering step E3 is composed only of the powder and has shrunk compared to a volume injected during molding, due to the spaces left by the binder.

[0115] The manufacturing method comprises at least one finishing step E4, during which the protrusions 40 of the part 50 are then removed, for example by machining. The weight 80 as well as the injection sprue 70 are also removed.

[0116] In order to facilitate removal, in particular by machining, positioning of the part 50 can be improved by providing a flat 403 made in the upper edge 401 of at least one of the protuberances 40.

[0117] Indeed, the main face 241 of the part 50, in particular the air flow zone 24 in the case of the blade 22, has a bearing surface of significant dimensions compared to the end parts of the part 50, such as the root 23 and the heel 25 in the case of the blade 22.

[0118] In addition, using the main face 241 for positioning makes it possible to limit the deformations of the part 50, for example by distributing more of the pressure forces exerted by a vice on the part 50.

[0119] The flat 403 formed in the upper edge 401 of at least one of the protuberances 40 is therefore configured to cooperate with a device for handling the part 50, in particular a vice in the case of machining, in order to be able to use the main face 241 during positioning.

[0120] In addition, as many flats 403 may be provided as there are contact points needed to facilitate positioning of the part 50.

[0121] In this case, according to the example illustrated in [Fig. 5], four fourth ribs 46 of the part 50 each have a flat 403. The four points of contact thus obtained by the flats 403 form a plane support. Thus, thanks to the flats 403, there are only three degrees of freedom to eliminate by providing other additional points of contact on the part 50, for example at the leading edge 27 and the heel 23 in the case of the blade 22 as illustrated in [Fig. 6] and [Fig. 7a].

[0122] The blade 22 according to the invention is therefore suitable for a turbomachine and has, on a macroscopic level, a shape and dimensions identical to those of a blade manufactured using a method of the prior art.

[0123] However, the blade 22 according to the invention differs in its microscopic structure. Thus, it has a grain size on average larger than that of a blade obtained by a method of the prior art.

[0124] In addition, the blade 22 according to the invention offers better resistance to fining.
