- Another feature of the disclosed examples is reducing the scrap rate of turbomachine components due to nonconformances in their surfaces.
Abstract
Description
- This disclosure relates generally to a finishing tool. More particularly, but not exclusively, this disclosure relates to a finishing tool having a superabrasive that is used to finish a turbomachine component.
- Turbomachines, such as gas turbine engines, are known. A typical turbomachine includes multiple sections, such as a fan section, a compression section, a combustor section, and a turbine section. During stable operation, the fan section moves air into the turbomachine. Some of the air is compressed. The compressed air is then mixed with fuel and combusted in the combustor section. Products of the combustion are expanded in the turbine section to rotatably drive the turbomachine.
- Many turbomachines include blades mounted within rotor slots. The blades rotate with the rotors in the compression section and the turbine section, for example. Nonconformances and variations in the surfaces of the rotor slots can affect performance of the turbomachine. For example, a surface of a rotor slot that varies from a desired dimension can introduce stress concentrations in the rotor or in a blade mounted within that slot. Nonconformances and variations within the surface of the rotors defining the blade slots are often difficult to identify and eliminate. Nonconformances include geometric and metallurgical.
- An example finishing tool form assembly includes a base and a superabrasive bonded to a surface of the base. The superabrasive is configured to be reciprocated with the base relative to a longitudinally extending recess of a component to finish at least one surface of the component.
- An example turbomachine component finishing tool assembly includes a fixture and a form mountable to the fixture. The form includes an abrasive bonded to a base. The fixture is configured to reciprocate the form relative to a surface of a turbomachine component.
- An example turbomachine surface finishing method includes reciprocating a base relative to a surface of a turbomachine component. The method finishes the surface with an abrasive bonded to the reciprocating base.
- These and other features of the disclosed examples can be best understood from the following specification and drawings, the following of which is a brief description:
-

Figure 1 shows a cross-section of an example gas turbine engine. -
Figure 2 shows an example turbomachine component finishing tool assembly and a rotor of theFigure 1 turbomachine. -
Figure 3 shows a close-up view of a portion of a rotor slot of theFigure 2 rotor. -
Figure 4 shows a perspective view of an example finishing tool form used in theFigure 2 assembly. -
Figure 5 shows another example turbomachine component finishing tool assembly and rotor. -
Figure 1 schematically illustrates an example aircraftgas turbine engine 10, which is an example type of turbomachine. The examplegas turbine engine 10 includes (in serial flow communication) afan section 14, alow pressure compressor 18, ahigh pressure compressor 22, acombustor 26, ahigh pressure turbine 30, and a low pressure turbine 34. Thegas turbine engine 10 is circumferentially disposed about an engine centerline X. - During operation, air is pulled into the
gas turbine engine 10 by thefan section 14. Some of the air moves through aflow path 36 to a core of thegas turbine engine 10. The air moving through theflow path 36 is pressurized by thecompressors combustor 26. Theturbines 30 and 34 extract energy from the hot combustion gases flowing from thecombustor 26. - In a two spool design, the
high pressure turbine 30 utilizes the extracted energy from the hot combustion gases to power thehigh pressure compressor 22 through ahigh speed shaft 38, and the low pressure turbine 34 utilizes the extracted energy from the hot combustion gases to power the low pressure compressor and thefan section 14 through alow speed shaft 42. - The examples described in this disclosure are not limited to the two spool engine architecture described, however, and may be used in other architectures, such as single spool axial design, a three spool axial design, and still other architectures. Further, although the examples described herein are described with regard to the
gas turbine engine 10, those having skill in this art and the benefit of this disclosure will understand that other examples include other types of turbomachines. - Referring to
Figures 2-4 with continuing reference toFigure 1 , arotor 46 within thelow pressure compressor 18 of theengine 10 includes a plurality ofslots 50. As can be appreciated, theslots 50 are configured to receive the root section of the blades (not shown). The blades rotate with therotor 46 within thelow pressure compressor 18 of theengine 10. The blades pressurize air moving through theflow path 36 in a known manner. - During a forming operation, the
rotor 46 is milled to establish theslots 50. Theslots 50 are finished, in this example, to remove nonconformances from asurface 54 after the milling. Thesurface 54 of therotor 46 defines portions of theslots 50. - A
form 58 is received within one of theslots 50a during finishing. After inserting theform 58 in theslot 50a, afixture 62 reciprocates theform 58 along an axis X1. Theslot 50a extends along an axis X2 that is parallel to the axis X1. After finishing theslot 50a, therotor 46 is rotated relative to thefixture 62, and the form is received within another of theslots 50. - In this example, portions of the
form 58 corresponding to thesurface 54 includes an abrasive 66 bonded to abase 70. As theform 58 reciprocates relative to theslot 50a, the abrasive 66 finishes thesurface 54 of theslot 50a. - The
fixture 62 reciprocates theform 58 for a controlled stroke and for an established length of time. Increasing the length of time increases the amount of material removed from therotor 46, for example. - Finishing, in this example, removes or reduces nonconformances in the
surfaces 54 of theslot 50 by removing about .001 inches (0.0254 mm) of material from thesurface 54 of therotor 46. In other examples, finishing removes nonconformances in other areas of theslot 50a, such as asurface 56, asurface 57, or removes a different amount of material - Example nonconformances include geometric nonconformances or variations in the position of the
surface 54 of theslot 50a from a desired position of thesurface 54. Other example nonconformances are the result of the interfaces between portions of theslot 50a machined by different milling cutters. - The
example slots 50 have an enlargedportion 74 and anarrower neck portion 78. During operation of theengine 10, the root portions of the blades having a similar shape are received within theslots 50. As can be appreciated, the shape of theslots 50 limits movement of the blades radially away from therotor 46. - In this example, the
form 58 has a cross-sectional profile similar to the cross-sectional profile of the base of the blade. That is, theform 58 includes an enlargedportion 82 and a narrowedportion 86. - In this example, the
base 70 of theform 58 is a cast iron material, and the abrasive 66, which is mounted to theenlarged portion 74 of the finishing form, is a superabrasive. More specifically, the example abrasive 66 is a cubic boron nitride abrasive that is 400 grit ASTM. Superabrasives, as is known in this art, are typically harder than conventional abrasives. As an example, conventional abrasives include pumice, sand, and silicon carbides. Superabrasives, by contrast, include diamond and the aforementioned cubic boron nitride. - A plating process, such as a nickel plating process, is used to bond a layer of the example abrasive 66 to the
base 70. Thebase 70 is about 0.0015 inches (0.0381 mm). undersized relative to theslots 50. The abrasive 66 has a thickness of about 0.0015 inches (0.381 mm) when bonded to thebase 70. Adding the abrasive 66 makes the thickness of theenlarged portion 82 of theform 58 to be about the same as theenlarged portion 74 of theslots 50. - In this example, a
spring 90 housed within the fixture is used to bias theform 58 toward a radial center of therotor 46. This facilitates theform 58 maintaining contact with thesurface 54. Material removal rates can be controlled via variations in spring compression and spring stiffness. - Referring to
Figure 5 , in another example, aspring 90a is biased toward aroller 44, which biases aform 58a toward a radial center of a rotor. - Features of the disclosed examples include a low cost, high precision process that can rework slots and other turbomachine components rather than rebroaching an entire rotor slot, for example. Another feature of the disclosed examples is reducing the scrap rate of turbomachine components due to nonconformances in their surfaces.
- Although an example embodiment has been disclosed, a worker of ordinary skill in this art would recognize that certain modifications would come within the scope of the claims. For that reason, the following claims should be studied to determine their true scope and content.
