Abstract: A method of forming an airfoil includes casting the airfoil with an internal cooling circuit and an exterior surface with a positive feature. The exterior surface of the airfoil is scanned with a first probe. A size and a location of the positive feature are identified based on the scan of the exterior surface. A transformation matrix is created with a controller 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 to a first set of machine toolpath instructions to align the first set of machine toolpath instructions relative to the positive feature. A contour is then machined into the exterior surface of the airfoil based on the transformed set of machine toolpath instructions.

Abstract: An abrasive profiling tool that may be part of a robotic machining system for machining a trailing edge of an airfoil, includes a shank extending along a rotational axis, a bearing guide rotationally secured to a distal end of the shank for riding upon the airfoil; and an abrasive profiler projecting radially and rigidly outward from the shank for grinding at least the trailing edge as the shank rotates. The profiler may include a round-over portion for grinding the trailing edge and a chamfered blending portion for grinding adjacent surfaces of the airfoil to produce a smooth transition from the adjacent surfaces and to the trailing edge.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an airfoil. The method includes fixing the airfoil in a workpiece space, detecting a position of the airfoil in the workpiece space using a force-sensing element, and removing material from the airfoil to reduce a dimension of the airfoil. In various embodiments, detecting the position of the airfoil includes moving the force-sensing element across a surface of the airfoil. For example, the surface of the airfoil may be a first surface, wherein removing material from the airfoil to reduce the dimension of the airfoil comprises removing material from a second surface of the airfoil opposite the first surface. Removing material from the second surface of the airfoil may be performed without moving the force-sensing element across the second surface of the airfoil.

Abstract: A method of polishing an outer surface of a ceramic coated gas turbine engine component includes applying a rotating diamond brush to the outer surface. The brush is configured to achieve a uniform finish of 150 microinches RA or less over the surface. The brush contains diamond impregnated bristles, and is affixed to a rotary head of a robotic arm. A force sensing controller limits brush forces against the component. The component disclosed is a hot section turbine vane designed for directional control of high temperature, high-pressure combustion gases, but the method may be applied to other components utilized in similar aerospace applications. The polished coating provides an improved thermal barrier for maintaining structural integrity of the component in environments having temperatures ranging up to 2,000 degrees Celsius. The method limits abrasive removal of ceramic material to only 0.0005 to 0.00075 inch, and saves time and expense over past practices.
Abstract translation: 陶瓷涂覆的燃气涡轮发动机部件的外表面的抛光方法包括将旋转的金刚石刷施加到外表面。 刷子被配置成在表面上实现150微升RA或更小的均匀整理。 刷子包含金刚石浸渍的刷毛,并且固定到机器人手臂的旋转头部。 力传感控制器限制针对组件的刷子力。 所公开的部件是设计用于高温,高压燃烧气体的方向控制的热段涡轮叶片,但是该方法可以应用于在类似的航空航天应用中使用的其它部件。 抛光的涂层提供了改进的热障,用于在具有高达2000摄氏度的温度的环境中保持部件的结构完整性。 该方法将陶瓷材料的磨料去除仅限于0.0005至0.00075英寸,并节省了与以往做法相比的时间和费用。
