Definitions

  • the present disclosure concerns an aerofoil, particularly an aerofoil configured to be joined to a second component by bi-casting.
  • the aerofoil may be a vane, or a stator blade, for use in a gas turbine engine. Such blades are typically arranged to extend between two platforms and are mounted in an endwall, which forms part of the platform.
  • the platform is typically a ring, around which multiple vanes are mounted.
  • the aerofoils are typically attached to the platform by bi-casting. That is, the aerofoil is inserted into a slot, or opening in the platform, and a groove on the aerofoil lines up with a groove on the platform, forming a space into which liquid metal is poured. When the metal solidifies, it joins the aerofoil to the platform and retains it in position.
  • a recess or undercut may be machined into the platform, which allows clearance between the aerofoil and the platform.
  • the undercut in the platform may be difficult to machine because the undercut is machined at the interior of the ring, which may be difficult to access using conventional machining tools.
  • an aerofoil configured to be connected to a second component, the aerofoil comprising a first face including a bi-cast groove for joining the aerofoil to the second component by bi-casting; a second face connected to a gas path surface of the aerofoil; an angled sealing face between the first and second face, the angled sealing face being angled with respect to the second face and configured to provide a sealing interface between the first face and the second face; and a concave face forming a recessed surface at the intersection of the sealing face and the second face.
  • the aerofoil may comprise a through-hole, and wherein one end of the through-hole opens at the concave face.
  • the second face may be coated with a thermal barrier coating.
  • the angle between the angled sealing face and the second face may be an obtuse angle. In an alternative arrangement, the angle between the angled sealing face and the second face may be a right angle.
  • the first face may be at the root of the aerofoil or at the tip of the aerofoil.
  • the aerofoil may be a stator vane or a rotor blade.
  • the cross-section of the recessed surface may be a continuous curve between the sealing face and the second face.
  • the cross-section of the recessed surface may include a discontinuity. In other words, it may have an L shape, or include a corner.
  • an assembly comprising the aerofoil as set out above, and the second component, wherein the aerofoil and second component are joined by bi-cast metal filling the bi-cast groove of the aerofoil and a corresponding bi-cast groove on the second component.
  • an aerofoil comprising providing an aerofoil with a first face including a bi-cast groove; a second face connected to a main body of the aerofoil; and an angled sealing face between the first and second face, the angled sealing face being angled with respect to the second face and configured to seal the bi-cast groove; and removing material at the intersection of the angled sealing face and the second face to form a concave face, thus forming a recessed surface.
  • a method of manufacturing an assembly comprising manufacturing an aerofoil as set out above; and joining the aerofoil to a second component by filling the bi-cast groove of the aerofoil and a corresponding bi-cast groove on the second component with bi-cast metal.
  • a ducted fan gas turbine engine generally indicated at 10 has a principal and rotational axis X-X.
  • the engine comprises, in axial flow series, an air intake 11, a propulsive fan 12, an intermediate pressure compressor 13, a high-pressure compressor 14, combustion equipment 15, a high-pressure turbine 16, and intermediate pressure turbine 17, a low-pressure turbine 18 and a core engine exhaust nozzle 19.
  • a nacelle 21 generally surrounds the engine 10 and defines the intake 11, a bypass duct 22 and a bypass exhaust nozzle 23.
  • the gas turbine engine 10 works in a conventional manner so that air entering the intake 11 is accelerated by the fan 12 to produce two air flows: a first air flow A into the intermediate pressure compressor 13 and a second air flow B which passes through the bypass duct 22 to provide propulsive thrust.
  • the intermediate pressure compressor 13 compresses the air flow A directed into it before delivering that air to the high pressure compressor 14 where further compression takes place.
  • the compressed air exhausted from the high-pressure compressor 14 is directed into the combustion equipment 15 where it is mixed with fuel and the mixture combusted.
  • the resultant hot combustion products then expand through, and thereby drive the high, intermediate and low-pressure turbines 16, 17, 18 before being exhausted through the nozzle 19 to provide additional propulsive thrust.
  • the high, intermediate and low-pressure turbines respectively drive the high and intermediate pressure compressors 14, 13 and the fan 12 by suitable interconnecting shafts.
  • Other gas turbine engines to which the present disclosure may be applied may have alternative configurations. By way of example such engines may have an alternative number of interconnecting shafts (e.g. two) and/or an alternative number of compressors and/or turbines. Further the engine may comprise a gearbox provided in the drive train from a turbine to a compressor and/or fan.
  • the high-pressure turbine gas temperatures are hotter than the melting point of the material of the blades and vanes, necessitating internal air cooling of these aerofoil components.
  • the mean temperature of the gas stream decreases as power is extracted. Therefore, the need to cool the static and rotary parts of the engine structure decreases as the gas moves from the high-pressure stage(s), through the intermediate-pressure and low-pressure stages, and towards the exit nozzle.
  • Figure 2 shows an isometric view of a typical single stage cooled turbine in which there is a nozzle guide vane in flow series with a turbine rotor.
  • the nozzle guide vane includes an aerofoil 31 which extends radially between inner 32 and outer 33 platforms.
  • the turbine rotor includes a blade mounted to the peripheral edge of a rotating disc.
  • the blade includes an aerofoil 32 which extends radially outwards from an inner platform 34.
  • the radially outer end of the blade includes a shroud which sits within a seal segment 35.
  • the seal segment is a stator component and attached to the engine casing.
  • the arrows in Figure 2 indicate cooling flows.
  • High-pressure turbine nozzle guide vanes consume the greatest amount of cooling air on high temperature engines.
  • High-pressure blades typically use about half of the NGV flow.
  • the intermediate-pressure and low-pressure stages downstream of the HP turbine use progressively less cooling air.
  • the high-pressure turbine aerofoils are cooled by using high pressure air from the compressor that has by-passed the combustor and is therefore relatively cool compared to the gas temperature.
  • Typical cooling air temperatures are between 800 and 1000 K, while gas temperatures can be in excess of 2100 K.
  • the propulsive fan 12, the intermediate and high pressure compressors 13, 14, and the high, intermediate and low pressure turbines 16, 17, 18 include aerofoil components, which may be, for example, rotor blades, stator blades or vanes.
  • the aerofoil components are joined to a platform or endwall, which may be, a hub, a shroud or a vane ring.
  • the aerofoil components can be attached to the platform by a bi-casting process.
  • This is a process in which liquid metal, known as bi-cast metal, is poured into a space between two components, filling the space.
  • the bi-cast metal may join the two components once it has solidified.
  • the components may be provided with bi-cast grooves, which extend into the body of the respective components on which they are formed. When the two components are positioned adjacent to each other, the two grooves line up with each other, and create a space between the two components. When the bi-cast metal is poured in and solidifies, the space formed by the two grooves is filled. The bi-cast metal thus joins and secures the components to each other.
  • the aerofoil 100 comprises a first face 102 including a bi-cast groove 106, which faces a corresponding bi-cast groove 107 on the platform 101.
  • the aerofoil has a second face 108, which joins, or is part of, the external, or gas washed surface of the aerofoil. That is, this face continues along the span of the aerofoil, and is the face over which the main air flow of the engine passes.
  • an angled sealing face 103 which serves to seal the first face 102 from the second face 108, and stop gas path air from coming into contact with the bi-cast metal.
  • This angled sealing face 103 may be angled at an obtuse angle from the second face, or may form a right angle with the second sealing face.
  • an undercut recess 104 may be provided in the platform 101.
  • the gap formed by this recess between the aerofoil 100 and the platform 101 may also be purged with cooling air to prevent gas path air (i.e. air in the main flow through the engine) from collecting in the groove and overheating the aerofoil and platform.
  • a recessed surface is provided in the aerofoil. This means that an undercut is not required to be machined into the platform, which improves ease of manufacture.
  • an aerofoil 201 is configured to be joined to a platform 202 by bi-casting.
  • the platform 202 is an example of a second component to which the aerofoil is configured to be bi-cast.
  • the aerofoil includes a first face 203 including a bi-cast groove 204 for joining the aerofoil to the second component by bi-casting. That is, the platform 202 includes a corresponding bi-cast groove 210, which faces the bi-cast groove 204 of the aerofoil when the aerofoil is inserted into the platform. Then, liquid metal may be poured into the space, thus joining and securing the aerofoil to the platform.
  • the aerofoil 201 further comprises a second face 205 which joins, or is part of the external, or gas washed surface of the aerofoil.
  • the second face 205 is connected to the external main body of the aerofoil. That is, this face continues along the span of the aerofoil, and is the face over which the main air flow of the engine passes.
  • the second face 205 may be coated with a thermal barrier coating 209, which insulates the body of the aerofoil 201 from the gas path air, which is at a high temperature.
  • the thermal barrier coating may be any suitable coating known in the art, such as yttria-stabilized zirconia.
  • the thermal barrier coating may comprise two layers, the layers being a bond layer and a top layer.
  • the bond later may be platinum, aluminium, platinum aluminide, or a CoNiCrAlY, and the top layer may be yttria-stabilized zirconia. Any other suitable coating and combination of layers may also be used.
  • the aerofoil 201 further comprises an angled sealing face 206 located between the first and second face.
  • the angled sealing face 206 joins the first face 203 to the second face 205.
  • the angled sealing face 206 is angled with respect to the second face 205.
  • the angle may be an obtuse angle, as shown in Figure 4 , or may be a right angle, as shown in Figure 5 .
  • the angled sealing face 206 serves to provide a sealing interface between the first face 203 and the second face 205. This may prevent leakage of bi-cast material during the bi-casting process, and prevent gas path air from coming into contact with the bi-cast metal. It may also maintain the aerofoil at the correct radial position.
  • the aerofoil 201 further comprises a concave face 207 forming a recessed surface at the intersection of the sealing face and the second face. That is, between the angled sealing face 206 and the second face 205, a concave recess is formed.
  • the concave face forming a recessed surface may be referred to generally as a "recess”. It will be understood that these two terms are interchangeable.
  • the concave face 207 can be thought of as at the location at which the join or "corner" between the second face 205 and the angled sealing face 208 would have been if the recess were not otherwise present.
  • the recess may be integrally formed.
  • the aerofoil may be formed initially with a corner between the second face 205 and the angled sealing face 206. Subsequently, the removal of material at this location then forms the recess.
  • the concave face 207 forming a recess can be formed, for example, by milling, to remove the material at the corner or intersection between the second face 205 and the angled sealing face 206. Because the material to be removed is on the outside of the aerofoil, a variety of machining processes can be used to remove the material and thus form the recess. Suitable methods of machining are, for example, grinding, milling, electrochemical machining (ECM), electrical discharge machining (EDM). It will be noted that this list is non-exhaustive and other methods of machining may be suitable. These processes allow easier and cheaper manufacture compared to the prior art, in which complicated milling of the platform in order to form an undercut must be undertaken.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the concave face 207 may be a continuous curve between the sealing face 208 and the second face 205, as shown in Figure 4 . This may have the advantage of avoiding stress concentrations.
  • the continuous curve may be of any suitable shape, and may be determined by the shape of the tool used to form the recess.
  • Figure 4 shows an arrangement in which the recess forms a smooth continuous curve between the second face 205 and the angled sealing face 206.
  • the concave face may also take other shapes, such as the one shown in Figure 5 , which has two straight sides with a right angle therebetween. This forms an L shape.
  • concave does not necessarily mean that the surface has a smooth or continuous curve.
  • the term “concave” can also refer to a shape which curves inwards, but also has corners or discontinuities, such as in, for example, a "concave polygon".
  • the recessed surface may have a discontinuity or corner. In other words, there may be a step change in the gradient of the surface, causing a sudden change of direction.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the concave face 207 may be an L shape between the second face 205 and the angled sealing face 206. That is, a right angle is formed in the face. This may allow the radial position of the face to be more easily measured and thus better controlled.
  • the concave face 207 may have a different shape which includes a corner, with the angle of a corner being a different angle to a right angle. Rather, the angle could be any angle which results in a generally concave shape. It will be appreciated that the shape of the recess may be determined by the method chosen to form the recess.
  • the angled sealing face 206 is at a right angle to the second face 205, and at a right angle to the first face 203.
  • the concave face 207 has a discontinuity (for example, is an L-shape) and the angled sealing face is at an obtuse angle to the second face 205, as shown in Figure 4 .
  • the reverse arrangement in which the angled sealing face 206 is at a right angle to the second face 205, and the concave face 207, and thus the recess surface, has a cross-section which is a continuous curve, as shown in Figure 4 .
  • Figure 5 does not show a thermal barrier coating. It will however be appreciated that a thermal barrier coating similar to that shown in Figure 4 could be provided in the arrangement of Figure 5 .
  • the aerofoil may further comprise a purge flow hole 208, which may take the form of a through hole.
  • a purge flow hole 208 may take the form of a through hole.
  • One end of the through hole may be in the concave face 207, and the other end may be at the interior of the aerofoil such that it connects with a cooling air flow path within the aerofoil.
  • cooling air flows from the cooling air flow path into the recess, which purges gas path air from the space formed between the recess and the platform. If this purge air were not provided, gas path air may otherwise fill the space, and overheat the aerofoil and platform, which could in turn cause oxidation and reduce the life of the components.
  • a purge flow hole may also be provided in the platform, passing from the outside of the platform to the space between the aerofoil recess and the platform. Purge flow holes may also be provided in both the aerofoil and the platform.
  • Figure 6 shows an aerofoil 301 according to the present disclosure mounted in two platforms 302 and 303.
  • This may be, for example, a stator vane mounted between two endwalls in a vane ring.
  • Figure 6 thus shows a section through the aerofoil in context.
  • Figure 6 shows a single aerofoil 301 with two walls 301a and 301b.
  • Wall 301a is mounted at one end in a first part 302a of platform 302, and at the other end in a first part 303a of platform 303.
  • Wall 301 is mounted at one end in a second part 302b of platform 302, and at the other end in a second part 303b of platform 303.
  • the middle of the aerofoil 301 may be hollow, and cooling air may pass into the middle of the blade through inlet passages 304 and 306.
  • one end of the vane 301 may be sealed (not shown), and cooling air may enter through a single end of the aerofoil. Cooling air may then be diverted through the purge air holes 305 in order to purge the gap between the platform and the aerofoil.
  • the recess is machined into the aerofoil between the second face and the angled sealing face. This means that complicated machining of the platform is not required to provide an undercut. It also provides a location face so that the purge air holes can be drilled accurately. Further still, when a thermal barrier coating is sprayed onto the second face, the thermal barrier coating can be allowed to overspray into the recess, which ensures that the coating does not fade out before the boundary of the gas path surface, and also means that the purge flow holes are not blocked by the coating.
  • the concave face 207 forming a recessed surface means that the correct location for drilling of the purge flow holes can be located easily by virtue of it being in the recess.
  • the purge flow hole in arrangements in which the recess is formed in the platform, the purge flow hole must be drilled very close to the intersection, or corner between the angled sealing face and the second face so that it lines up with the undercut recess in the platform, but care must be taken not to drill through the angled sealing face, which would adversely affect the purge flow.
  • providing the recess on the aerofoil allows for simple and accurate location of the purge flow hole 208.
  • a thermal barrier coating When a thermal barrier coating is applied to the gas path surfaces of the components, this is typically done by spraying the coating on to the surfaces. At the edge of the gas path surfaces, where spraying is stopped, it is difficult to stop the spraying at exactly the correct location and maintain the optimum thickness of the coating.
  • the coating may either fade out before the edge of the surface where the spraying has been stopped, or may overspray onto another surface. Both fading out of the coating (i.e. underspray) and overspray can have undesirable effects.
  • Fade out means that the thermal barrier coating is not as effective in the locations where the fading occurs, and overspray may result in poor sealing if it is oversprayed onto a sealing surface, or may block the purge spray holes if it is oversprayed onto the location of a purge flow hole.
  • the recess of the present disclosure allows the thickness of the coating 209 to be maintained to the end of the gas washed surface, because a small amount of overspray into the aerofoil recess does not adversely affect the sealing or the purge flow holes.
  • the effectiveness of the thermal barrier coating can be improved, whilst reducing the risk of the thermal barrier coating adversely affecting other parts of the assembly.
