摘要:
A metal reinforcing piece for mounting on a leading edge or trailing edge of a composite blade for a turbine engine is made by shaping two metal sheets, positioning them on either side of a core, assembling the two sheets together around the core under a vacuum, shaping them on the core by hot isostatic compression, and cutting them to separate the reinforcing piece and release the core. A predetermined roughness is given to at least a portion of the surface of the core and is transferred to a corresponding portion of an inside surface of the reinforcing piece by the hot isostatic compression.

The invention provides a method of making a piece of metal reinforcement for mounting on the leading or trailing edge of a composite turbine engine blade, the method comprising the steps consisting in positioning two metal sheets (1) on either side of a core (2), in shaping the sheets (1) on the core (2) by hot isostatic compression, and in cutting the sheets (1) in order to separate the reinforcement along at least one line of cut and in order to release the core. The core (2) has projecting sacrificial zones (13), with the sheets (1) being cut along the sacrificial zones (13) without degrading the remainder of the core (2).

A method of manufacturing a blade (20) for a turbomachine by superplastic forming and diffusion bonding a first layer (18), a second layer (16) and a membrane (2), the membrane (2) being disposed between the first and second layers (18, 16), the method comprising: applying a stop-off material in a first predetermined pattern between the first layer (18) and the membrane (2) so as to prevent a diffusion bond from forming between the first layer and the membrane across said first predetermined pattern; wherein the first pattern is applied such that it defines one or more first strips (12) and one or more first dots (15), the first strips and first dots being void of the stop-off material, and wherein the first strips are arranged in a span-wise direction, and the first dots are located between the first strips and the blade tip edge, the first dots (15) being offset from a longitudinal axis of the first strips (12) in a chord-wise direction; and applying the stop-off material in a second predetermined pattern between the second layer (16) and the membrane (2) so as to prevent a diffusion bond from forming between the second layer and the membrane across said second predetermined pattern; wherein the second pattern is applied such that it defines one or more second strips (10) and one or more second dots (14), the second strips and second dots being void of the stop-off material, and wherein the second strips are arranged in a span-wise direction and the second dots are located between the second strips and the blade tip edge, the second dots (14) being offset from a longitudinal axis of the second strips (10) in a chord-wise direction; wherein the first and second predetermined patterns are applied such that the second strips (10) are spaced apart from the first strips (12) and the first dots (15) are spaced apart from the second dots (14) on opposite sides of the membrane (2).
摘要:
A method for producing a metal insert for protecting a leading or trailing edge of a compressor vane of an aeronautical machine made of a composite material, by stamping sheets and diffusion bonding between the sheets. The method includes: initially shaping the sheets by stamping to approximate the sheets to a shape of a suction side and pressure side of the insert; producing a core shaped inner cavity of the metal insert to be manufactured, one of the surfaces thereof reproducing an inner shape of the suction side of the insert and the other surface reproducing an inner shape of the pressure side of the insert; positioning the sheets around the core and securing the assembly; applying a vacuum and sealing the assembly by bonding; assembling the assembly by hot isostatic compression; cutting the assembly to extract the core and separate the insert; producing an outer profile of the insert by a final machining.

A method of manufacturing a component (10) by superplastic forming and diffusion bonding a first layer (12), a second layer (14), a first membrane (16), and a second membrane (18), the first and second membranes (16, 18) being disposed between the first and second layers (12, 14) with the first membrane (16) adjacent the first layer (12) and the second membrane (18) adjacent the second layer (14), wherein the method comprises: applying a stop-off material in a first predetermined pattern between the first layer (12) and the first membrane (16) so as to prevent a diffusion bond from forming between the first layer (12) and the first membrane (16) across regions defined by said first predetermined pattern; applying the stop-off material in a second predetermined pattern between the second layer (14) and the second membrane (18) so as to prevent a diffusion bond from forming between the second layer (14) and the second membrane (18) across regions defined by said second predetermined pattern; and providing a damping material (40) between the first and second membranes.
摘要:
The superplastically formed structural assembly includes first and second structural members having facing surfaces. The first and second structural members can include a first outer structural member, a second outer structural member or at least one intermediate structural member. In one embodiment, the first and second structural members include first and second outer structural members. In another embodiment, the first and second structural members include first and second intermediate structural members. The structural assembly includes at least one friction stir weld joint joining the first and second structural members. In one embodiment, the facing surface of the first structural member is at least partially covered with oxide to prevent thermo-compression welding of the first and second structural members adjacent the at least one friction stir weld joint. In another embodiment, the facing surface of the second structural member is at least partially covered with oxide.
