Description
Verfahren zum Erzeugen eines Einlaufbelags an einer Strömungsmaschine. Ein ähnliches Verfahren wird in
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Erzeugen eines Einlaufbelags an einer Strömungsmaschine, ein Bauteil einer Strömungsmaschine und eine Strömungsmaschine mit einem Einlaufbelag.The present invention relates to a method for producing an inlet lining on a turbomachine, a component of a turbomachine and a turbomachine with an inlet lining.
Axialverdichter und Gasturbinen, wie sie beispielsweise in Gasturbinentriebwerken für Luftfahrzeuge oder andere mobile oder stationäre Anwendungen verwendet werden, umfassen in der Regel mehrere Stufen mit rotierenden Laufschaufeln bzw. Rotorschaufeln und feststehenden Leitschaufeln bzw. Statorschaufeln. Die Rotorschaufeln sind mit einem Rotor starr verbunden und rotieren mit diesem mit hoher Drehzahl um eine Achse.Axial compressors and gas turbines, such as used in gas turbine engines for aircraft or other mobile or stationary applications, typically include multiple stages with rotating blades and fixed vanes or stator vanes. The rotor blades are rigidly connected to a rotor and rotate with it at high speed about an axis.
Ein wesentliches Merkmal von Axialverdichtern und Gasturbinen sind die Druckdifferenzen, die zwischen der stromaufwärtigen Seite und der stromabwärtigen Seite jedes Schaufelkranzes existieren. Jeder Druckverlust am äußeren Rand eines Rotorschaufelkranzes oder am inneren Rand eines Statorschaufelkranzes mindert den Wirkungsgrad.An essential feature of axial compressors and gas turbines are the pressure differences existing between the upstream side and the downstream side of each blade ring. Any pressure loss at the outer edge of a rotor blade ring or at the inner edge of a stator blade ring reduces the efficiency.
Aufgrund hoher Drehzahlen, teilweise hoher Temperaturen, radialer und axialer Auslenkungen, die aus Vibrationen und unterschiedlichen Ausdehnungskoeffizienten und Temperaturen der beteiligten Bauteile herrühren, werden überwiegend Labyrinthdichtungen bzw. Spaltdichtungen verwendet. Beispielsweise greift eine Dichtfinne am rotierenden Bauteil in eine Nut am ruhenden Bauteil ein oder umgekehrt.Due to high speeds, sometimes high temperatures, radial and axial deflections resulting from vibrations and different coefficients of expansion and temperatures of the components involved, mostly labyrinth seals or gap seals are used. For example, a sealing fin on the rotating component engages in a groove on the stationary component or vice versa.
Die genauen Abmessungen der Dichtfinne und vor allem der Nut werden oft nicht bereits bei der Fertigung eingestellt bzw. geschaffen. Vielmehr gräbt sich beispielsweise eine ein hartes Material aufweisende Finne während eines Einlaufvorgangs der Strömungsmaschine in einen Einlaufbelag ein und bildet so dort die korrespondierende Nut. Der Einlaufbelag weist dazu ein Material auf, das leicht abgetragen werden kann.The exact dimensions of the sealing fin and especially the groove are often not adjusted or created during production. Rather, for example, digs a hard material having a fin during an inlet operation of the turbomachine in an inlet lining and thus forms there the corresponding groove. The inlet lining has to a material that can be easily removed.
Einlaufbeläge werden herkömmlich unter anderem durch Flammspritzen und Plasmaspritzen erzeugt. Dabei kann jedoch in der heißen Flamme eine chemische Reaktion des pulverförmigen Materials auftreten. Beispielsweise kann beim Flammspritzen von Nickel und Graphit der Graphit verbrennen. Dies hat einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Härte der erzeugten Schicht, ist jedoch schwer steuerbar oder vermeidbar. Insgesamt entstehen beim Flammspritzen prozessbedingt erhebliche Schwankungen in der Dicke und anderen Eigenschaften der Schicht.Inlet linings are conventionally produced inter alia by flame spraying and plasma spraying. However, a chemical reaction of the powdery material may occur in the hot flame. For example, during flame spraying of nickel and graphite, the graphite may burn. This has a significant influence on the hardness of the layer produced, but is difficult to control or avoid. Overall, the flame spraying process caused considerable fluctuations in the thickness and other properties of the layer.
Auch beim Plasmaspritzen ist eine genaue Steuerung bzw. Kontrolle aller Parameter erforderlich, um eine Härte des Einlaufbelags in einem gewünschten Bereich zu erhalten. Oft ist die -Beimischung von Polyester zum Pulver erforderlich. Das Polyester wird nach dem Beschichten in einem separaten Verfahrensschritt bei hoher Temperatur in einem Ofen ausgebrannt. Dies erzeugt erhebliche zusätzliche Kosten.Even in plasma spraying, precise control of all parameters is required to obtain a hardness of the inlet lining in a desired range. Often the blending of polyester to the powder is required. The polyester is burned off after coating in a separate process step at high temperature in an oven. This generates significant additional costs.
Eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, ein verbessertes Verfahren zum Erzeugen eines Einlaufbelags an einer Strömungsmaschine, ein verbessertes Bauteil einer Strömungsmaschine und eine verbesserte Strömungsmaschine zu schaffen.An object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for producing an inlet lining on a turbomachine, an improved component of a turbomachine and an improved turbomachine.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Gegenstände der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst.This object is solved by the subject matters of the independent claims.
Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.Further developments are specified in the dependent claims.
Verschiedene Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung beruhen auf der Idee, einen Einlaufbelag an einer Strömungsmaschine bzw. einem Bauteil für eine Strömungsmaschine durch Lichtbogendrahtspritzen zu erzeugen. Das Material des Einlaufbelags wird mit einem Lichtbogen zwischen zwei Elektroden von den Elektroden abgetragen und von einem Gasstrom auf die zu beschichtende Oberfläche geschleudert.Various embodiments of the present invention are based on the idea to produce an inlet lining on a turbomachine or a component for a turbomachine by arc wire spraying. The material of the inlet lining is removed by an arc between two electrodes of the electrodes and thrown by a gas stream on the surface to be coated.
Ein Vorteil des Lichtbogendrahtspritzens besteht in seinen gerade für diese Anwendung vergleichsweise geringen Kosten. Durch die Wahl des Gases, das keinen Sauerstoff zur Unterhaltung einer Flamme enthalten muss, kann eine Oxidation oder eine andere unerwünschte chemische Reaktion des den Einlaufbelag bildenden Materials noch im Gasstrom oder auch nach der Ablagerung verhindert werden. Ferner kann ohne Weiteres eine Mischung mehrerer Materialien in einem vorbestimmten Verhältnis erzeugt werden, indem Elektroden mit diesen Materialien im gewünschten Verhältnis verwendet werden.An advantage of arc wire spraying is its relatively low cost for this application. By choosing the gas that need not contain oxygen to sustain a flame, oxidation or other undesirable chemical reaction of the inlet facing material can still be prevented in the gas stream or even after deposition. Furthermore, readily a mixture of several materials can be generated in a predetermined ratio by using electrodes with these materials in the desired ratio.
Die Erzeugung eines Einlaufbelags mittels Lichtbogendrahtspritzens ermöglicht im Vergleich zu einigen herkömmlichen Verfahren ein deutlich besser reproduzierbares Ergebnis, insbesondere deutlich besser reproduzierbare Eigenschaften des Einlaufbelags. Beispielsweise kann die Variation der Pulverkornfraktion und die resultierende Variation der Härte und anderer Eigenschaften des Einlaufbelags wesentlich reduziert werden.The generation of an inlet lining by means of arc wire spraying allows a significantly better reproducible result, in particular significantly better reproducible properties of the inlet lining, in comparison to some conventional methods. For example, the variation of the powder grain fraction and the resulting variation in hardness and other properties of the inlet lining can be substantially reduced.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erzeugung eines Einlaufbelags mittels Lichtbogendrahtspritzens besteht darin, dass das Ergebnis, insbesondere der fertige Einlaufbelag, im Vergleich zu einigen anderen Verfahren erheblich schneller vorliegt. Dies wiederum kann die Qualitätssicherung und die Regelung des Prozesses vereinfachen.A further advantage of generating an inlet covering by means of arc wire spraying is that the result, in particular the finished inlet lining, is considerably faster compared to some other methods. This, in turn, can simplify quality assurance and regulation of the process.
Insbesondere werden ein in Wasser oder einem anderen vorbestimmten Lösungsmittel lösliches Material und ein in diesem vorbestimmten Lösungsmittel nicht lösliches Material gleichzeitig durch Lichtbogendrahtspritzen aufgetragen. Vorliegend wird ein Material insbesondere auch dann als löslich in einem Lösungsmittel bezeichnet, wenn es mit Wasser oder einem anderen vorbestimmten Lösungsmittel zu einer in dem Lösungsmittel löslichen Verbindung reagiert. Beim anschließenden Herauslösen des löslichen Materials verbleiben in dem unlöslichen Material Poren, aufgrund derer der Einlaufbelag leicht abtragbar ist.In particular, a material soluble in water or another predetermined solvent and a material insoluble in this predetermined solvent are simultaneously applied by electric arc wire spraying. In the present case, a material is also referred to as being soluble in a solvent, especially when it reacts with water or another predetermined solvent to form a compound which is soluble in the solvent. In the subsequent dissolution of the soluble material remain in the insoluble material pores, due to which the inlet lining is easy to remove.
Bei einem Verfahren zum Erzeugen eines Einlaufbelags an einer Oberfläche einer Strömungsmaschine wird ein Lichtbogen zwischen einer ersten Elektrode mit einem ersten Material und einer zweiten Elektrode mit einem zweiten Material erzeugt. Ein Gasstrom durch den Lichtbogen auf die zu beschichtende Oberfläche wird erzeugt, der das erste Material und das zweite Material aus dem Lichtbogen mitnimmt und auf der Oberfläche deponiert, um den Einlaufbelag oder eine Vorläuferschicht des Einlaufbelags zu bilden.In a method for producing an inlet lining on a surface of a turbomachine, an arc is generated between a first electrode having a first material and a second electrode having a second material. A gas flow through the arc to the surface to be coated is created that entrains the first material and the second material from the arc and deposits it on the surface to form the inlet liner or a precursor layer of the inlet liner.
Jede der beiden Elektroden kann eines der beiden Materialien oder beide Materialien enthalten. Beispielsweise weist die erste Elektrode nur ein erstes Material und die zweite Elektrode nur ein zweites Material auf; oder jede der beiden Elektroden weist beide Materialien auf.Each of the two electrodes can contain one of the two materials or both materials. For example, the first electrode has only a first material and the second electrode only a second material; or each of the two electrodes has both materials.
Insbesondere ist das erste Material in einem vorbestimmten Lösungsmittel - beispielsweise Wasser oder einem Alkohol - nicht löslich, während das zweite Material in dem vorbestimmten Lösungsmittel löslich ist. Dies schließt ein, dass die Löslichkeiten des ersten Materials und des zweiten Materials sich deutlich unterscheiden, beispielsweise um einen Faktor 10, 20, 50 oder 100. Die wie beschrieben erzeugte Schicht ist in diesem Fall eine Vorläuferschicht des Einlaufbelags. Bei Einwirkung des Lösungsmittels auf die Vorläuferschicht wird das zweite Material aus der Vorläuferschicht gelöst, um eine poröse Struktur zu erhalten, die nur noch oder im Wesentlichen nur noch das erste Material aufweist und den Einlaufbelag bildet.In particular, the first material is not soluble in a predetermined solvent - for example, water or an alcohol - while the second material is soluble in the predetermined solvent. This implies that the solubilities of the first material and the second material differ significantly, for example by a factor of 10, 20, 50 or 100. The layer produced as described is in this case a precursor layer of the inlet lining. Upon exposure of the precursor layer to the solvent, the second material is released from the precursor layer to yield a porous structure that is only or substantially only comprising the first material and forms the inlet liner.
Das erste Material umfasst Nickel. Das zweite Material umfasst Al2OSn. Sowohl das erste Material als auch das zweite Material kann ferner Zuschlagstoffe umfassen, beispielsweise Graphit, Polyester, Bentonit, Bornitrid oder einen anderen keramischen, mineralischen oder organischen Stoff.The first material includes nickel. The second material includes Al2OSn. Both the first material and the second material may further comprise additives, for example graphite, polyester, bentonite, boron nitride or another ceramic, mineral or organic substance.
Die vorliegende Erfindung umfasst ferner ein Bauteil einer Strömungsmaschine und eine Strömungsmaschine mit einem wie oben dargestellt erzeugten Einlaufbelag.The present invention further comprises a component of a turbomachine and a turbomachine with an inlet lining produced as described above.

Der Mantel 33 ist bei dem dargestellten Beispiel rohrförmig mit einem kreisförmigen, quadratischen oder rechteckigen Querschnitt und einem zentralen Hohlraum. In dem zentralen Hohlraum des Mantels 33 ist die Füllung 34 angeordnet. Der Mantel 33 weist ein erstes Material auf, die Füllung 34 weist ein zweites Material auf. Zumindest eines der beiden Materialien weist eine elektrische Leitfähigkeit auf.The
Alternativ sind die beiden Elektroden 31, 32 aus je einem Draht gebildet, wobei die erste Elektrode 31 das erste Material und die zweite Elektrode 32 das zweite Material aufweist. Ferner kann eine der beiden Elektroden 31, 32 wie oben dargestellt zwei Materialien und die andere Elektrode nur ein Material aufweisen.Alternatively, the two
Zur Erzeugung eines Lichtbogens 37 zwischen den beiden Elektroden 31, 32 ist jede der beiden Elektroden 31, 32 mit einem Pol einer elektrischen Leistungsquelle 39 verbunden. Die elektrische Leistungsquelle 39 ist beispielsweise eine Gleichspannungs- oder Wechselspannungs- oder Gleichstrom- oder Wechselstrom-Quelle.To generate an
Die Vorrichtung zum Erzeugen einer Vorläuferschicht 22 eines Einlaufbelags an einer Strömungsmaschine umfasst ferner eine Düse 41, die auf den Zwischenraum zwischen den Elektroden 31, 32 gerichtet ist. Eine in
Zur Erzeugung einer Vorläuferschicht 22 eines Einlaufbelags 21 an dem Bauteil 20 wird mittels der elektrischen Leistungsquelle 39 ein Lichtbogen 37 zwischen den Elektroden 31, 32 erzeugt. Durch den Lichtbogen 37 werden die Elektroden 31, 32 verbraucht. Insbesondere wird durch den Lichtbogen 37 an den Enden der Elektroden 31,32 Material abgeschmolzen oder verdampft. Der Lichtbogen 37 enthält Material der Elektroden 31, 32 in teilweise ionisierter atomarer oder molekularer Form oder in Form von teilweise ionisierten Atomclustern, Partikeln oder Tröpfchen. Dieses Material wird von dem aus der Düse 41 austretenden Gasstrom teilweise mitgenommen. Es entsteht ein Beschichtungsstrom aus Material der Elektroden 31, 32. Der Gasstrom schleudert also das vom Lichtbogen 37 abgetragene Material der Elektroden 31, 32 auf das Bauteil 20 bzw. das zu beschichtende Substrat. Der Beschichtungsstrom 47 trifft auf das Bauteil 20 und erzeugt dort die Vorläuferschicht 22 eines Einlaufbelags. Wenn eine Oxidation der Materialien der Elektroden 31, 32 im Lichtbogen 37 im Beschichtungsstrom 47 und/oder im Einlaufbelag 21 vermieden werden soll, kann der Gasstrom 42 sauerstoffarm oder sauerstofffrei, inert oder reduzierend sein.To generate a
Die Zusammensetzung der Vorläuferschicht 22 am Bauteil 20 wird durch die Zusammensetzung der Elektroden 31, 32 bestimmt. Beide Elektroden 31, 32 können gleiche oder unterschiedliche Zusammensetzungen gleicher oder unterschiedlicher Materialien aufweisen. Anstelle des in Figur 2 dargestellten Aufbaus jeder Elektrode 31, 32 aus einem Mantel 33 und einer Füllung 34 können eine der beiden Elektroden 31, 32 oder beide Elektroden 31, 32 einen homogenen Aufbau aufweisen.The composition of the

Nach dem Erzeugen der Vorläuferschicht 22 wird durch Einwirkung des vorbestimmten Lösungsmittels das lösliche Material aus der Vorläuferschicht gelöst. Es verbleibt eine poröse Struktur aus dem nicht-löslichen Material, die den Einlaufbelag bildet.After forming the
Bei einem ersten Schritt 101 wird ein Lichtbogen 37 zwischen einer ersten Elektrode 31 mit einem ersten Material und einer zweiten Elektrode 32 mit einem zweiten Material erzeugt. Bei einem zweiten Schritt 102 wird ein Gasstrom 42 erzeugt und von einer Düse 41 auf den Lichtbogen 37 gerichtet. Der Gasstrom nimmt das erste Material und das zweite Material aus dem Lichtbogen 37 mit und deponiert es auf der zu beschichtenden Oberfläche, um eine Vorläuferschicht 22 zu bilden. Bei einem dritten Schritt 103 wird das in einem vorbestimmten Lösungsmittel lösliche zweite Material durch Einwirkung des vorbestimmten Lösungsmittels auf die Vorläuferschicht 22 aus dieser gelöst. Es verbleibt eine poröse Struktur des ersten Materials, die den Einlaufbelag 21 bildet.In a
Alternativ wird durch Ablagerung des Materials der Elektroden 31, 32 auf der zu beschichtenden Oberfläche unmittelbar der Einlaufbelag 21 erzeugt, wobei der dritte Schritt 103 entfällt.Alternatively, by depositing the material of the
