Method for reshaping a turbomachine blade (2) comprising at least one deformed zone (Z), the method involving acquisition of a profile of said blade, comparing said profile against a reference profile in order therefrom to deduce at least one deformed zone (Zj) of the blade (2), comparing the deformed zone (Zj) against a deformation database (7) containing a plurality of deformed zones (Zj) each respectively associated with a plurality of settings (Pj) for a peening device (3), determining the setting (Pj) associated with said deformed zone (Zj) and peening the deformed zone (Zj) of the blade (2) using the peening device (3) on the basis of said determined setting (Pj) so as to restore said zone (Z) to the proper shape.
摘要:
A method of working a metal in which the metal structure of metal body is rendered fine to thereby enhance the strength, ductility or homogeneity thereof; a metal body obtained by the metal working method; and a metal-containing ceramic body obtained by the metal working method. In this metal working method, the deformation resistance of metal body or metal-containing ceramic body (hereinafter referred to simply as 'metal body') is lowered locally to thereby form low deformation resistance regions in the metal body, and shear deformation of the low deformation resistance regions is effected so as to fine the metal structure of metal body. In particular, the metal body is formed in unidirectionally drawn configuration so as to produce low deformation resistance regions crossing the metal body. Further, with respect to two non-low deformation resistance regions arranged to sandwich low deformation resistance region crossing the metal body, one non-low deformation resistance region is caused to have a relative position change to the other non-low deformation resistance region so as to effect shear deformation of the low deformation resistance region. The low deformation resistance regions can be moved along the direction of drawing of the metal body.

A crack-propagation preventing structure that can suppress or prevent the propagation of cracks (2) that would be generated in a metal component (1) or that have been generated in a metal component (1) is provided. The crack-propagation preventing structure includes a point dimple (4) formed by pressing a rigid sphere (3) of a rigid body at an appropriate position on the surface of a metal component, which is subjected to crack-propagation prevention processing.
摘要:
An austenitic rounding fixture (2) is inserted into the horizontal joint of a turbine casing (6). The casing (6) is then assembled and stress relief cycle is carried out, resulting in rerounding of the casing and relief of residual stresses. Since an austenitic material has a higher coefficient than the metallic materials of conventional turbine casings, the rounding fixture (2) expands more than the casing (6) during a stress relief cycle. The length of the fixture (2) is designed in such a way that at stress relief temperature the casing (6) is slightly over-rounded. After the stress relief, the casing (6) is rerounded and the austenitic rounding fixture (2) is disengaged. The rounding fixture is installed in a cold condition (or with minimal heat for heavily collapsed casings). The removal of the rounding fixture is easy since a clearance exists between the casing and the fixture.
