摘要:
A method (100) of forming an airfoil (28) includes casting the airfoil (28) with an internal cooling circuit and an exterior surface (30) with a positive feature (32, 34). The exterior surface (30) of the airfoil (28) is scanned with a first probe (20). A size and a location of the positive feature (32, 34) are identified based on the scan of the exterior surface (30). A transformation matrix is created with a controller (12) such that the transformation matrix includes toolpath transformation instructions. A transformed set of machine toolpath instructions is created by applying the transformation matrix using the controller (12) to a first set of machine toolpath instructions to align the first set of machine toolpath instructions relative to the positive feature (32, 34). A contour is then machined into the exterior surface (30) of the airfoil (28) based on the transformed set of machine toolpath instructions.
摘要:
A process for directional solidification of a cast part comprises energizing a primary inductive coil (20) coupled to a chamber (12) having a mold (16) containing a material (24); energizing a primary inductive coil (20) within the chamber (12) to heat the mold (16) via radiation from a susceptor (26), wherein the resultant electromagnetic field (28) partially leaks through the susceptor (26) coupled to the chamber (12) between the primary inductive coil (20) and the mold (16); determining a magnetic flux profile of the electromagnetic field (28); sensing a magnetic flux leakage (44) past the susceptor (26) within the chamber (12); generating a control field (42) from a secondary compensation coil (40) coupled to the chamber (12), wherein the control field (42) controls the magnetic flux (44) experienced by the cast part; and casting the material (24) within the mold (16) under the controlled degree of flux leakage (44).
摘要:
A gas turbine engine (20) blade (64) includes a platform (68) that has an inner side (68A) and an outer side (68B), a root (70) that extends outwardly from the inner side (68A), and an airfoil (72) that extends outwardly from a base (72A) at the outer side (68B) to a tip end (72B). The airfoil (72) includes a leading edge and a trailing edge and a first side wall (72C) and a second side wall (72D). The first side wall (72C) and the second side wall (72D) join the leading edge and the trailing edge and at least partially define one or more cavities (74) in the airfoil (72). The airfoil (72) has a span from the base (72A) to the tip end (72B), with the base (72A) being at 0% of the span and the tip end (72B) being at 100% of the span. The first side wall (72C) includes an axial row (76) of cooling holes (78) at 90% or greater of the span.
