Definitions
- This presentation relates to the field of turbomachines, and more specifically relates to the techniques of manufacturing wax models for the production of turbomachine blades by lost wax casting.
- turbomachine blades are commonly carried out by lost wax casting, in particular because of the advantages of this process in terms of tolerances and precision.
- the present disclosure thus aims to propose a solution making it possible to at least partially respond to this problem.
- the present invention provides a method of forming a wax model for the production of turbine blades by lost wax casting, in which: a core is provided, defining ducts extending between a foot and a top, we provide an intrados shell and an extrados shell, we position the intrados shell and the extrados shell on either side of ducts of the core adjacent to the foot, we secure the intrados shell and the extrados shell around the core , the core provided with the lower surface shell and the upper surface shell is positioned in an injection mold, wax is injected around said core provided with the lower surface shell and the upper surface shell, so as to form a wax model comprising a blade blade and a blade root comprising a tree, the shell intrados and the extrados shell being positioned around the core so as to form part of the tree of the wax model.
- the intrados shell and the extrados shell are made of wax or of polymer.
- the intrados shell and the extrados shell are positioned around the core and are each in contact with said core, and in which the intrados shell and the extrados shell are positioned so as to define a clearance of between 0.05 and 0.2 mm between them.
- the lower surface shell and the upper surface shell are positioned around the core and are in contact with each other, the lower surface shell and the upper surface shell being dimensioned so as to allow a clearance of between 0.05 and 0.2 mm relative to the core prior to their joining around the core.
- the core comprises at least 3 conduits extending between a foot and a top, and in which the intrados shell and / or the extrados shell comprises bosses adapted to be inserted between said conduits, so as to indexing said shell relative to the ducts.
- the lower surface shell and the upper surface shell are positioned around the core in a region of the core in which the wax model comprises walls having a thickness between 1 and 10 times the thickness of the ducts of the core.
- said method comprises a preliminary step of manufacturing the lower surface shell and the upper surface shell by additive manufacturing.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a kernel for a method according to one aspect of the invention.
- Figure 2 shows another view of an example of a core provided with a shell a method according to one aspect of the invention.
- Figure 3 shows another view of an exemplary core provided with a shell for a method according to one aspect of the invention.
- Figure 4 is a view of a shell according to one aspect of the invention.
- Figure 5 is another view of a shell according to one aspect of the invention.
- Figure 6 shows a sectional view of a ceramic core around which a wax model has been cast.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a core 1 typically made of ceramic for a method according to one aspect of the invention.
- the core 1 as shown comprises a foot 2 and a top 3 between which extend a plurality of conduits 4.
- the core 1 comprises 4 conduits. It is well understood that this example is not limiting, and that the present description is directly transposable to a core 1 comprising any number of conduits.
- a longitudinal direction DL which corresponds to the direction going from the foot 2 to the top 3
- a transverse direction DT extending in the plane of Figure 1, and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction DL
- a thickness E measured in a direction perpendicular to a plane defined by the transverse direction DT and by the longitudinal direction DL.
- the longitudinal direction DL defines the length of the core 1
- the transverse direction DT defines its width
- the thickness E its thickness.
- the core 1 is intended to be positioned in a wax injection mold, with a view to forming a wax model of a turbine blade, in order to define the internal ducts of the blade.
- This zone Z1 in fact corresponds to a zone of the blade root which is qualified as “fir” or “fir root” having walls having a significant thickness, thus being able for example to be 10 times greater than the thickness of the walls of the blade. dawn in the other dawn regions.
- the proposed method thus aims to position a shell around the zone Z1, this shell having a dual function of protecting the core 1 and preventing the formation of deformations or cracks in the wax model.
- FIGs 2 and 3 thus illustrate the core 1 as shown in Figure 1 which is here provided with a shell 5.
- the shell 5 as presented comprises an intrados shell 6 and an extrados shell 7, which are positioned respectively on the intrados face and on the extrados face of the core 1, the intrados and extrados designations being defined as a function of the geometry of the desired blade.
- the shell 5 can comprise more than two components, since it makes it possible to at least partially envelop a region of the core 1 as will be seen below, the geometry of the shell 5 being adapted as a function of the core geometry 1.
- the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7 are defined so as to come at least partially envelop the ducts 4 at their junction with the foot 2 of the core 1. More specifically, the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7 are positioned so as to at least partially envelop the ducts 4 over part of their length (the length being measured in a direction going u foot 2 to the top 3 of core 1), and typically to cover part of foot 2 of core 1 from which the ducts 4 extend.
- Figures 4 and 5 show an example of a portion of the shell 5, these figures can equally well represent a lower surface shell 6 or an upper surface shell 7.
- the intrados shell 6 as shown comprises a body 61 generally forming a plate of variable thickness, and dimensioned so as to be able to extend over all of the ducts 4 of the core 1 in the transverse direction DT (c ' i.e. according to the width) of the core 1.
- the body 61 has two ends in the transverse direction DT provided with ribs 62 each extending in the longitudinal direction DL.
- the body 61 is also typically provided with bosses 63 extending along the thickness of the lower surface shell 6, and adapted to be inserted between two adjacent ducts 4 of the core 1.
- the ribs 62 are for their part typically dimensioned so as to cover partially the ends of the conduits 4 in the tangential direction DT.
- the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7 positioned around the core 1 are typically secured around the core 1, for example by means of an adhesive, which may be a suitable wax.
- the core 1 thus provided with the shell 5 is then positioned in a wax injection mold for the production of a wax model of a turbine blade.
- This partial envelopment of the core 1 protects it against the forces generated by the injection of wax during the formation of the associated wax model, which thus makes it possible to prevent the risk of rupture of the core 1 during the injection. of wax.
- FIG. 6 shows an example of a sectional view of a wax model 8 formed around a core 1 provided with an intrados shell 6 and an extrados shell 7.
- the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7 positioned around the core 1 make it possible to reduce the quantity of wax necessary for the formation of the wax model, insofar as the shells 6 and 7 will here directly form part of the wax model.
- this region has a significant thickness compared to the other regions of the wax model 8.
- the shells 6 and 7 form part of this thickness, which thus makes it possible to reduce the amount of wax required to the production of this region, and therefore limits the risk of cracks forming resulting from the removal of the wax during its cooling.
- the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7 are typically sized so that the thickness of wax injected around the shells 6 and 7 for the formation of the wax model is constant or substantially constant.
- the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7 are typically made of wax or of polymer, the choice of material being made in particular according to its compatibility with the wax used during the injection for the production of the wax model 8 of dawn.
- the material used must also be able to be removed during an operation to remove the wax model or firing a ceramic shell around the wax model.
- the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7 are typically produced by additive manufacturing, for example by polymerization of a resin under the action of a laser or a UV lamp, by projection of drops of material, by projection of a binder on a bed of powder, for example solidification of powder under the action of an energy source (laser or electron beam), by fusion of wire through a heating nozzle, or by any other suitable process, in particular any other suitable additive manufacturing process .
- the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7 can also for example be produced by simultaneous injection with the wax model, during an injection operation, the intrados shell and the extrados shell produced during such an operation then being used for the production of a wax model during a subsequent injection operation.
- the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7 are then produced during an N injection step, which can then be used for an N + 1 injection step.
- the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7 are typically configured so as to define a spacing either between the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7, or between said shells 6 and 7 and the core 1.
- the intrados shell 6 and extrados shell 7 are dimensioned so that when they are each positioned resting against the core 1, a spacing typically between 0.05 and 0.2 mm or typically equal to 0.1 mm is formed between said intrados 6 and extrados hulls 7. This embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 3, where a non-zero spacing e is maintained between the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7.
- the lower surface shell 6 and the upper surface shell 7 can be dimensioned so that when they are positioned around the core 1, said shells 6 and 7 are in contact with one another, but then define a clearance of between 0.05 and 0.2 mm or typically equal to 1 mm relative to the core 1.
- the intrados shell 6 and the extrados shell 7 are then typically positioned so as to each be spaced by an identical distance with respect to core 1.
- the invention as described therefore proposes to associate a shell with a core for the formation of a wax model of a turbomachine blade.
- the hull is made up of two elements; an intrados shell and an extrados shell.
- the shell will be integrated into the wax model, in order to reduce the volume of wax necessary for the formation of specific areas of the wax model, in this case the fir tree at the root of the vane, which prevents the formation of cracks in the core due to the shrinkage of the wax model material, and also the risk of core breakage due to the large amount of wax in this specific area.
