WEBB INV NTOR. 5e. BY a- ATTOlQ/VEKS'- United States Patent 3,000,081 WHEEL MANUFACTURE Lester I. Webb, Detroit, Mich, assignor to Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Mich., a corporation of Delaware Filed July 16, 1957, Ser. No. 672,220 10 Claims. (Cl. 29-1563) This invention relates to the metal working art and is more particularly directed to a method for economically and repetitiously producing wheels employable either as compressor or turbine wheels.
The development of the turbine and compressor art has been seriously impeded by the ditficulties inherent in the production of turbine and compressor wheels. These difiiculties stem in part from the fact that the blades must be shaped to a precise airfoil configuration and must be secured to a hub in such a way as to resist creep over long periods of time at high temperatures and under heavy centrifugal forces. This invention has been developed to enable such critical wheels to be produced more economically and with ordinary production labor and facilities.
This invention will be explained in connection with the drawings in which FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a typical turbine blade, and
FIGURE 2 is an elevational view of a turbine wheel at an early stage of manufacture, and
FIGURE 3 is a similar elevational view of a turbine wheel at a later stage of manufacture, and
FIGURE 4 is a cross section of a portion of the completed Wheel prior to removal from the fixture, and
FIGURE 5 is an elevational view of a portion of the completed turbine wheel prior to removal from the fixture.
In the manufacture of turbine wheels according to this invention a large number of identical blades of appropriate chemical analysis and air foil configuration are first produced: In FIGURE 1 the blade is denominated generally as and the blade base as 11. It will be seen that the blade 10 takes a conventional air foil shape. Blade base 11 is shown in a so-called fir tree configuration which serves to prevent radial detachment of the blade from the hub under heavy centrifugal stress. Blade base 11 may also be provided with one or more depressions 12 or elevations 13 to prevent axial displacement of the blade 10 from the hub during operation.
The fir tree configuration shown is given by way of example only. Any mechanically strong base structure resistant to displacement in all directions and particularly resistant to centrifugal stress may be employed.
As a second step in the production of the turbine wheel the assembly shown in FIGURE 2 is produced. In FIG- URE 2 a die block 13 encloses a locating ring 14. Within ring 14 are assembled in their final position the proper number of blades 10. Reverting to FIGURE 1, it is preferred to grind end faces 15 and edges 16 of blade base 11 to close tolerances to produce an exact assembly in ring 14. When blades 10 are assembled in ring 14 within die block 13, the edges 16 of the individual blade bases closely abut each other to form a band 17. Clamping members 18 are employed to temporarily hold the assembly together.
FIGURE 3 depicts a further step in the production of the turbine wheels. The purpose of this step is to rigidly, but temporarily secure the assembled blades 10 in their proper position to enable them to remain fixed during a subsequent operation. This is accomplished by filling the annulus defined by band 17 and ring 14 with a low melting and molten metal. This metal is then permitted to solidify at which time it securely binds all of the blades into the desired final position. While any suitable low melting metal may be used as the binding material it is preferred to use metals similar to the composition sold commercially as Kirksite. After this alloy has solidified, centering disc 20 may be removed and all of the blades 10 will be found to be firmly locked into place.
The assembly of blades, die and Kirksite is now placed in a rapidly acting press preparatory to the forging of the hub about the bases 11 of blades 10. A hub blank which has been previously heated to forging temperature is now inserted in the space vacated by centering disc 20. This forging temperature will usually be at least 2100" F. and often is as high as 2350 F.
The rapidly moving press mentioned above now applies a heavy axial pressure to hub blank 21 and causes hub blank 21 to flow radially in all directions and to flow into the spaces between the bases 11 of blades 10. These bases 11 project inwardly and beyond band 17. The axial force applied by the press to hub blank 21 should be suflicient to cause the metal to flow around the projections provided by the fir tree configuration given to bases 11. The flow of hub blank 21 in this manner is shown in FIGURES 4 and 5. These figures of drawing necessarily represent the somewhat idealized condition of complete flow which in practice can only be approximated.
As a typical example of an operation of this type a turbine wheel having an external diameter from tip to tip of the blades of 12 inches and a band diameter of 8 inches with a complement of forty blades was produced according to this invention. The blades were firmly held in position with Kirksite and the hub material was a conventional 18-8 stainless steel slug. Forging temperatures varied from between 2025 F. and 2225 F. and the forging pressure was 1200 tons. All of these wheels were successfully forged.
