Abstract:
The present application provides a tool for cleaning a groove of a turbine rotor disk. The tool may include a pair of guides spaced apart from one another in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the tool, and a number of cleaning sheets positioned between the guides in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the tool. At least a portion of each guide may have a cross-sectional profile corresponding to a cross-sectional profile of the groove, and at least a portion of each cleaning sheet may have a cross-sectional profile corresponding to the cross-sectional profile of the groove. The present application further provides a method for cleaning a groove of a turbine rotor disk, and a tool system for cleaning a groove of a turbine rotor disk.
