Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing components, namely blade segments, for a gas turbine, in particular for an aircraft engine.
- the invention further relates to such a component, namely a blade segment, for a gas turbine.
- the most important materials used today for aircraft engines or other gas turbines are titanium alloys, nickel alloys (also known as super alloys) and high-strength steels.
- the high-strength steels are used for shaft parts, gear parts, compressor housings and turbine housings. Titanium alloys are typical materials for compressor parts. Nickel alloys are suitable for the hot parts of the aircraft engine.
- the present invention is based on the problem of proposing a novel method for producing components, namely vane segments, a gas turbine and a corresponding component.
- each blade segment comprises at least two blades, the blade segment being produced from a plurality of blades by powder metallurgical injection molding. It is a finding of the present invention that the manufacture of blade segments, which comprise at least two blades, with the aid of powder metallurgical injection molding, can significantly reduce the manufacturing costs.
- the guide vane segment preferably comprises three or four guide vanes.
- molded bodies for each blade are manufactured separately by injection molding for producing a blade segment from at least two blades, the molded bodies of the blades being assembled into a molded body for the blade segment prior to a debinding process.
- the blades are joined to the blade segment here in the so-called green state.
- molded bodies for each blade are manufactured separately by injection molding to produce a blade segment from at least two blades, the molded bodies of the blades being subjected separately to a debinding process, and then the molded bodies of the blades being formed into a molded body for the blade segment are assembled.
- the blades are joined to the blade segment here in the so-called pre-sintered state.
- a blade segment from at least two Blades a common molded body for the blade segment, that is, for all blades of the blade segment, manufactured by injection molding.
- the blades are joined to the blade segment here by spraying in a tool.
- the present invention relates to the production of blade segments of a gas turbine, in particular an aircraft engine, by powder metallurgical injection molding.
- Powder metallurgical injection molding is also known as metal injection molding (MIM).
- MIM metal injection molding
- a metal powder, hard metal powder or ceramic powder is provided.
- the metal powder provided in process step 10 and the binder and plasticizer provided in process step 11 are mixed and homogenized in process step 12 so that a homogeneous mass is formed.
- the volume proportion of the metal powder in the homogeneous mass is preferably between 50% and 70%.
- the proportion of binder and plasticizer in the homogeneous mass therefore fluctuates approximately between 30% and 50%.
- This homogeneous mass of metal powder, binder and plasticizer is further processed in the sense of step 13 by injection molding. Moldings are manufactured during injection molding. These moldings already have all the typical features of the components to be produced.
- the shaped bodies have the geometric shape of the component to be manufactured. However, they have a volume increased by the binder content and plasticizer content.
- Process step 14 can also be referred to as a final binding process or as a dewaxing step. Binding agents and plasticizers can be driven out in different ways. This is usually done by fractional, thermal decomposition or evaporation. Another possibility is to suck out the thermally liquefied binding and plasticizing agents by capillary forces, by sublimation or by solvents.
- the shaped bodies are sintered in the sense of step 15.
- the molded bodies are compressed into the components with the final geometric properties. Accordingly, during the sintering, the shaped bodies become smaller, the dimensions of the shaped bodies having to shrink uniformly in all three spatial directions.
- the linear swing is between 10% and 20% depending on the binder content and plasticizer content.
- the sintering can be carried out under various protective gases or under vacuum.
- step 16 the finished component is present, which is represented by step 16 in FIG. 1.
- the component can still be subjected to a finishing process in the sense of step 17.
- the finishing process is optional.
- a ready-to-install component can already be present immediately after sintering.
- blade segments from a plurality of blades by means of powder metallurgical injection molding.
- powder metallurgical injection molding Through the combination nation of powder metallurgical injection molding with the combination of several individual blades into blade segments, the manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced. It is preferred to combine three or four guide vanes into one guide vane segment, which is produced by powder metallurgical injection molding.
- FIG. 2 shows a blade segment 18 with four guide blades 19, the four guide blades 19 being connected to one another via an inner shroud 20 and an outer shroud 21.
- a section of the inner shroud 20 and of the outer shroud 21 is assigned to each guide vane 19, the individual four guide vanes 19 being joined together via the respective sections of the inner shroud 20 and outer shroud 1 or being combined to form the blade segment 18.
- the joining of the individual blades 19 to the blade segment 18 in powder metallurgical injection molding can be carried out in three different ways.
- a first possibility for joining the blades to a blade segment can be referred to as joining in the green state.
- a second possibility for joining the blades to a blade segment is referred to as joining in the presintered state, a third possibility as joining by spraying in a tool.
- molded bodies are produced separately by injection molding in order to produce a blade segment from a plurality of blades for each blade, including the respective sections of the outer shroud and inner shroud. These moldings in which still the binder and plasticizer is contained, are then combined into a molded body for the entire blade segment.
- the shaped bodies of the individual blades are positioned one behind the other or next to one another in accordance with the desired sequence of the blades, the respectively adjacent sections of the outer shroud and inner shroud touching one another.
- the position of the shaped bodies of the individual blades relative to one another can optionally be secured by a device, for example by clips.
- the molded body thus formed for the entire blade segment is then subjected to a uniform debinding process for removing the binder and plasticizer.
- the binder is softened and withdrawn from the molded body, small unevenness in the contacting contact surfaces is compensated for and suitable contact surfaces are thus created.
- the molded body for the entire blade segment is then preferably waxed and presintered.
- the connection between the individual blades is so firm that the fixing of the individual molded bodies of the individual blades can be released.
- the molded body of the blade segment is then actually sintered until the blade segment to be produced is present. With this joining alternative, a good connection between the individual blades of the blade segment can be achieved, which can hardly be distinguished from the connection in the base material.
- An alternative to joining in the green state is joining in the pre-sintered state.
- individual moldings are first produced separately for each blade by injection molding. These molded bodies of the individual blades are subjected to a debinding process separately in order to dewax the molded bodies or to remove the binder and the plasticizer from the molded bodies of the individual blades.
- the molded bodies of the individual blades are presintered separately. During pre-sintering, there is still no process of shrinking or noticeable shrinkage of the molded articles. In this presintered state, the shaped bodies of the individual blades are put together to form a shaped body for the blade segment.
- This molded body for the blade segment is then subjected to uniform sintering.
- the Position of the moldings of the individual blades are secured to one another or fixed. This can be done using parentheses, for example.
- the clamp can impair the freedom of movement of the molded body during sintering, better results can be achieved when joining in the green state than when joining in the presintered state.
- the restriction of freedom of movement during sintering can lead to undesired deformations and cracks in the finished component.
- assembling the shaped bodies of the individual shovels in the presintered state has the advantage that the wall thicknesses of the individual parts and not the wall thickness of the assembled part must be taken into account during the delivery process, in particular during dewaxing. When joining in the pre-sintered state, this results in a reduced process time for the delivery process. When joining in the pre-sintered state, blade segments can therefore be produced more quickly.
- Another alternative is joining by spraying in one tool.
- a common molded body for the blade segment that is to say for all blades of the same during injection molding, is produced for producing a blade segment from several blades.
- This molded body for the entire blade segment is then subjected as a unit to a uniform delivery process with subsequent, uniform sintering.
- a perfect connection between the individual blades can be established.
- a blade half is then produced in a first operation. This blade half is placed together with a core, which depicts the cooling channels, in a mold cavity for injection molding, which is then completely filled. The core is then melted out and the molded body for the blade segment is then available. After inserting one blade half into the mold cavity and before filling the mold cavity, the blade half already inserted can be preheated to improve the bond.
- a blade segment comprising, for example, four blades by using two sub-blade segments to produce two blades each.
- the two sub-blade segments, each consisting of two blades could be produced, for example, by spraying in a tool, whereas these two sub-segments can then be connected to one another by joining in the green state.
- other combinations are also conceivable.
- the blade segment is preferably a guide blade segment comprising a plurality of guide blades for an aircraft engine.
