    Abstract: An electroformed sheath for protecting an airfoil includes a sheath body and a mandrel insert is provided. The sheath body includes a leading edge. The sheath body includes a pressure side wall and an opposed suction side wall, which side walls meet at the leading edge and extend away from the leading edge to define a cavity between the side walls. The sheath body includes a head section between the leading edge and the cavity. The mandrel insert is positioned between the pressure side and suction side walls, and includes a generally wedge-shaped geometry. A method for protecting an airfoil includes: 1) securing a mandrel insert to a mandrel; 2) electroplating a sheath body onto the mandrel and the mandrel insert; 3) removing the mandrel from the sheath body so that a sheath cavity is defined within the sheath body; and 4) securing the airfoil within the sheath cavity.

    Abstract translation: 用于保护翼型的电铸护套包括护套主体和心轴插入件。 护套主体包括前缘。 护套主体包括压力侧壁和相对的吸力侧壁,侧壁在前缘相交并且远离前缘延伸以在侧壁之间限定空腔。 护套主体包括在前缘和腔之间的头部。 心轴插入件位于压力侧和吸力侧壁之间,并且包括大致楔形的几何形状。 一种用于保护翼型件的方法包括:1)将心轴插入件固定到心轴上; 2)将护套主体电镀到心轴和心轴插入件上; 3)从护套主体中取出心轴,使得护套空腔限定在护套主体内; 和4)将翼型件固定在护套腔内。
