[0002] The aero-engine is the core component of the aircraft and is one of the most complex industrial products. In the aero-engine, the blisk type parts have the characteristics of complex profile and difficult-to-machine material. Moreover, with the continuous improvement of the performance of the aero-engine, the structure of the blisk type parts is becoming more and more complex, the blade passage becomes more narrow, and the blade profile becomes more twisted, which brings great challenges to the machining and manufacturing. Therefore, it is urgent to find an economical and efficient machining method to complete the high-efficiency and high-quality machining of the parts with complex profile such as the blisk.

[0012] Electrochemical cutting, as an important branch of electrolytic machining technology, is also commonly used in the machining of aero-engine components.

[0013] In the patent "A tool for machining large thickness electrolytic wire cutting and its using method" (application number 202010417285.4 applicant Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, inventor Fang Xiaolong Hu Xiaoyun Han Zhao Xu Chonglong), including a hollow metal pipe for cutting metal, a porous structure opened in the side of the metal pipe, and an insulation part provided on the side of the metal pipe, etc., which improves the large thickness machining capability and the slit width uniformity along the thickness direction, reduces secondary machining, and improves the surface quality and machining efficiency.

[0016] With the increasingly complex structure of blisk type parts, the traditional forming electrode faces difficulties when entering narrow and twisted channels. The traditional electrolytic wire cutting method uses straight wire electrodes or straight pipe electrodes, which cannot meet the machining requirements of twisted surfaces. In addition, the blisk cascade channel is composed of multiple surfaces such as blade back, hub, and blade basin, and only the single-direction feed of the tool electrode cannot complete the continuous machining of multiple surfaces. Moreover, due to the different narrowness of the channels of different blisks, only the single-direction feed of the tool electrode cannot machine channels with uniform allowance. Therefore, the present application proposes a continuous trajectory electrolytic machining method with online deformation of a thin sheet electrode, and applies it to the electrolytic machining of blisk cascade channels, so as to realize the continuous machining of multiple complex surfaces by using a single simple shape thin sheet electrode.

The closed integral blade disk cascade channel processing application of the thin-film electrode according to claim 6 is characterized in that: The following processes are included: Step 1: The thin electrode (1) is first fed from the blade tip to the blade root, and the D area of ​​the front processing surface, the left processing surface and the right processing surface is used as the processing surface for processing. During the processing, corresponding online deformation is generated according to the curvature change characteristics of the blade back profile, thereby completing the processing of the blade back profile; Step 2: The sheet electrode (1) rotates clockwise, switches to the right processing surface, and feeds in the direction of the hub, using the C area of ​​the right processing surface as the processing surface for processing, thereby completing the processing of the hub profile; Step 3: The thin electrode (1) rotates clockwise, switches to the rear processing surface, and feeds from the blade root to the blade tip. The rear processing surface, the left processing surface, and the B area of ​​the right processing surface are used as processing surfaces for processing. During the processing, corresponding online deformation is generated according to the curvature change characteristics of the blade basin profile, thereby completing the processing of the blade basin profile; Step 4: The sheet electrode (1) rotates counterclockwise, switches to the left processing surface, and feeds along the blade crown direction, using the C area of ​​the left processing surface as the processing surface for processing, thereby completing the processing of the blade crown profile.
