Researches show that surface with bionic structure plays an important role in improving the aerodynamic performance on aero engine parts. Belt grinding, a popular method to process titanium alloy parts such as aero-engine blade, is also found that it can be used to obtain bionic microstructure through special grinding method and parameters. In order to explore the performance of bionic microstructure processed by belt grinding and its effects on airflow dynamics, several groups of simulation and an experiment are carried out in this paper. Firstly, the mechanism of drag reduction of bionic microstructure is discussed. It shows that the effect of drag reduction of bionic microstructure is related to protrusion height, which is related to the shape and size of the bionic microstructure. Then, three groups of typical belt grinding bionic microstructure are set up. In addition, the drag reduction values are calculated in CFD simulation. The results are analyzed and discussed. Further, to verify the airflow dynamics of drag reduction of belt grinding bionic microstructure, an experiment of aero-engine blade is carried out. Finally, the effects of airflow dynamic performance of blade with belt grinding bionic microstructure are obtained in CFD simulation. In general, the shape of wave ribs, compared to V-ribs and trapezoidal ribs, has the best performance in drag reduction. To a certain extent, the improvement of airflow dynamic performance is higher with the increasing of the size of bionic microstructure, which suggests lower feed rate and higher grinding pressure for bionic structure.

The process parameters of fundamental electroforming solution were optimized firstly. Furthermore, some pure copper electroforming samples were prepared in the condition of different nana La2O3 addition quantity. Three main material properties evaluated. In addition, the EDM machining experiments were conducted to verify the characteristics of electrical corrosion resistance resulting from the prepared copper tube electroforming samples for cooling hole of Inconel718 nickel alloy. EDM experimental results demonstrate that copper electroforming layer with grain size 15.9μm, microhardness 98.2HV, with 1.2g/L addition quantity of nana La2O3, and its electrode loss rate decrease 13.29% and 7.26% than pure copper and copper electroforming layer without nana La2O3 addition respectively.

High machining accuracy of aero-engine blade largely determines the carrying capacity, endurance, acceleration and the dynamic performance of the aero-engine, so a reliable machining error inspection and evaluation technique is imperative. In order to give a reliable error evaluation, the non- uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) technique is adopted to reconstruct the surface within a specified accuracy. Usually, data points measured from aero-engine blade are non-grid data in situ measuring systems. To overcome the difficulty of NURBS surface fitting from non-grid data, a new method based on data conversion is proposed, in which chord length parameterization and uniform parameter sampling are combined together to realize the data convertation, and subsequently hierarchical fitting strategy is applied to finish the NURBS surface reconstruction. The way proposed for data conversion is easy to realize, and by which gemetrical features of original measured data are also reserved well, which make the whole method outstanding in low time cost. Experimental results show that the method is fast, effective. The source code has been implemented in VC++, while the resulting pictures are constructed in Matlab with the obtained control points, knot vectors, and the orders.
