Analysis of Grain Selection during Directional Solidification of Gas Turbine Blades
نویسنده
چکیده
— In this paper the evolution of grain structure and the control of crystal orientation in gas turbine blades are presented. The conditions leading to the solidification of columnar grain and single crystal blades are analysed, and techniques for producing columnar grain and single crystal blades in industry are reported.

متن کاملSimulation and Experimental Studies on Grain Selection and Structure Design of the Spiral Selector for Casting Single Crystal Ni-Based Superalloy
Grain selection is an important process in single crystal turbine blades manufacturing. Selector structure is a control factor of grain selection, as well as directional solidification (DS). In this study, the grain selection and structure design of the spiral selector were investigated through experimentation and simulation. A heat transfer model and a 3D microstructure growth model were estab...
متن کاملMathematical and Physical Modelling of Directional Solidification of Aerospace Alloys
Defect formation in aerospace components is studied, particularly in regions of directionally solidified casting with stepwise increase in cross-section, which is a typical geometric configuration for such components as turbine blades. Given the fact that the geometry of a casting is directly related to probability of defect formation, special attention was paid to grain defects in regions of c...
متن کاملThe Material Selection for Typical Wind Turbine Blades Using a Madm Approach& Analysis of Blades
Over the centuries, energy has been supplied by wood, coke, coal, oil and natural gas, as well as by uranium (nuclear energy). All these energy sources are limited and at the same time these energy sources create pollution problems. This has led to the focus on a sustainable energy supply, which implies optimized use of energy, minimized pollution. That is why wind energy is prominent and it is...
