Abstract This paper presents a complex approach to designing ceramic blades dovetail joints. Two ceramic materials were considered: diamond reinforced silicon carbide and hot pressed silicon nitride (only in contact testing). The model blades were made from diamond reinforced silicon carbide due to its availability and mature technology. Part 1 describes the models of mechanical and thermal contact and contains experimental data on contact strength and thermal contact conductance. Part 2 investigates the effect of stress concentration and scale factor on the fracture of ceramic test pieces. Part 3 proposes a theoretical-experimental method to estimate friction coefficient in a dovetail joint. We also investigated the character of the ceramic blades fracture during the rotor spin-up. Part 4 deals with automating the design process of the ceramic blades dovetail joints using experimental data.

The mathematical analysis of a thermal contact by Fenech and Rohsenow requires knowledge of certain parameters describing the geometry of the contact interface. These parameters are volume average thickness of the void above and below the plane of the contact, the number of contacts per unit area, and the ratio of the actual contact area to the total area. The authors outline a method for determining these parameters graphically. This paper describes a method for obtaining analog voltages of surface profiles of contacting surfaces and the application of a general purpose analog computer to determine the geometric parameters of contact as a function of contact pressure. The results of applying this method are combined with the analysis of Fenech and Rohsenow. The predicted contact conductance is found to agree well with experimental data at mean contact temperatures of 100, 200, and 300 F for load pressures of 100 to 20,000 psi.

An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the degree to which the thermal contact conductance at the interface of contacting Aluminum 6061 T6 surfaces could be enhanced through the use of vapor-deposited metallic coatings. Three different coating materials (lead, tin, and indium) were evaluated using four different thicknesses for each coating material. The results verified the existence of an optimum coating thickness, shown to be in the range of 2.0 to 3.0 μm for indium, 1.5 to 2.5 μm for lead, and 0.2 to 0.5 μm for tin. The enhancement factors for thermal contact conductance were found to be on the order of 700, 400, and 50 percent, respectively. Based upon the experimental data, the hardness of the coating materials appears to be the most significant parameter in ranking the substrate and coating material combinations; however, additional experimental data are needed to substantiate this hypothesis. Finally, it was apparent that the thermal contact conductance enhancement effect was greatest at low contact pressures and decreased significantly with increases in the contact pressure.

An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the thermal contact conductance and effective thermal conductivity of anodized coatings. One chemically polished Aluminum 6061-T6 test specimen and seven specimens with anodized coatings varying in thickness from 60.9 μm to 163.8 μm were tested while in contact with a single unanodized aluminum surface. Measurements of the overall joint conductance, composed of the thermal contact conductance between the anodized coating and the bare aluminum surface and the bulk conductance of the coating material, indicated that the overall joint conductance decreased with increasing thickness of the anodized coating and increased with increasing interfacial load. Using the experimental data, a dimensionless expression was developed that related the overall joint conductance to the coating thickness, the surface roughness, the interfacial pressure, and the properties of the aluminum substrate. By subtracting the thermal contact conductance from the measured overall joint conductance, estimations of the effective thermal conductivity of the anodized coating as a function of pressure were obtained for each of the seven anodized specimens. At an extrapolated pressure of zero, the effective thermal conductivity was found to be approximately 0.02 W/m-K. In addition to this extrapolated value, a single expression for predicting the effective thermal conductivity as a function of both the interface pressure and the anodized coating thickness was developed and shown to be within ±5 percent of the experimental data over a pressure range of 0 to 14 MPa.

The thermal contact conductance studies across gold-coated oxygen-free high-conductivity copper contacts have been conducted at different contact pressures in vacuum, nitrogen, and helium environments. It is observed that the thermal contact conductance increases not only with the increase in contact pressure but also with the increase in thermal conductivity of interstitial medium. The experimental data are found to be in good agreement with the literature.
