Abstract:
A case for a gas turbine engine includes a cast case section cast case section configured to be welded between a forward case section and an aft case section.
Abstract:
A disc for use in a turbine rotor is provided including a hub, a plurality of webs extending outwardly from the hub, and a plurality of rims. Each of the plurality of webs are separate from each other by a gap. Each rim is positioned at an outward end of one of the webs. Each rim is configured to receive a respective set of turbine blade.
Abstract:
A turbine exhaust case has an outer housing to be secured within a gas turbine engine and a central hub. Struts extend between the outer housing and the central hub. The struts are formed at least in part of a first material. The central hub is formed at least in part of a second material.
Abstract:
A method for producing a preform from an α+γ titanium aluminide alloy for producing a component with high load-bearing capacity for piston engines and gas turbines, in particular aircraft engines, by forging a blank, wherein the blank held in a manipulator and moved by the manipulator is subjected to merely partial forming by open-die forging by an open-die forging tool.
Abstract:
Provided is a forged material for a rotor for obtaining, by machining, a rotor including a hub portion and a plurality of blade portions. The forged material for a rotor comprises a hub forming section and a plurality of blade forming sections that one-to-one correspond to the plurality of blade portions. The plurality of blade portions each comprise a first end face that faces an outer peripheral surface of the hub portion and a second end face opposite from the first end face. The plurality of blade forming sections each comprise a blade-shaped surface having a shape that follows at least part of a contour of the second end face of the one-to-one corresponding blade portion.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a turbine blade, the method comprising the steps of forming a forging by forging stainless steel; heat treating the forging; and cooling the forging after the heat treatment; wherein in the heat treatment and the cooling, a plurality of the forgings are arranged in alignment, and adjacent forgings of the plurality of forgings are disposed so that at least respective portions of portions of the adjacent forgings corresponding to a region from a portion corresponding to a platform of a turbine blade to a center in a longitudinal direction of the turbine blade face each other and warm each other via radiant heat.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an axial fan wheel includes steps of providing a raw material; forging the raw material by a forging process to form a semifinished product of the axial fan wheel, wherein the semifinished product of the axial fan wheel includes a hub, a plurality of axial fan blades and an excess material, the axial fan blades extend from a periphery of the hub, an angle included between a surface of each axial fan blade and a rotation axis of the hub varies gradiently, and the excess material is connected to the hub and the axial fan blades; and removing the excess material to form the axial fan wheel with the hub and the axial fan blades.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a component of a composite material comprising a metal matrix and incorporated intermetallic phases, which method comprises providing powders of at least one member of the group which comprises pure chemical elements, alloys, chemical compounds and material composites, the powder corresponding overall to the chemical composition which the composite material to be produced is intended to have, each individual powder being different to the chemical composition of the composite material to be produced, compacting the powders, bonding the powders to one another to form a unit and thermoplastically shaping the unit.
Abstract:
Methods for producing forged products and other worked products are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises using additive manufacturing to produce a metal shaped-preform and, after the using step, forging the metal shaped-preform into a final forged product. The final forged product may optionally be annealed.
Abstract:
A shaping method making use of shaper tooling suitable for high-temperature shaping of a preformed metal part having two side fins extending from a nose, the method including putting the preformed metal part into place in a first bottom die of the tooling, holding the preformed metal part in a first determined position with a first movable central insert, forming one of the side fins of the preformed metal part into its final shape in alignment with the nose by moving with a first movable top die, turning over the preformed metal part, putting the preformed metal part into place in a second bottom die of the tooling, holding the preformed metal part in a second determined position with a second movable central insert, and shaping the other side fin into its final shape in alignment with the nose by moving with a second movable top die.
