For the first time, using the technology of selective laser sintering, prototypes of rocket engine compressor blades were manufactured with subsequent analysis of the strength, technological, physical and mechanical characteristics of the product. The physical and mechanical properties of the manufactured blades were investigated, it was found that the short-term strength limit at 20 °C is 1450 MPa, and at 300 °C the ultimate strength is 1300 MPa, thus thermal losses in deformation resistance are no more than 12%, which allows the material to be used in aircraft construction, including for supersonic aircraft

For designing forging and die tooling for bulk forging a necessity in using the data of the geometry of the part produced arises. Obviously, the use as a data source for designing drawings of commonly applied in “manual alternate design” (without a computer) especially such complex parts as compressor blades is not perspective because of the complexity of developing theoretical contour specified by a point cloud. In this case the use of special tooling of direct modeling that provides changing the original model of the part developed by the designers is a perspective one. It should be taken into account during the process of forging and die tooling designing that it is necessary to register the special features of the technology, upon that, the technologist should be highly proficient in using the software. The work given describes the designing technique of gas turbine compressor blade with the account of using the potential of NX Siemens program.

In this study, composite metastable (Ti0.49Al0.49Y0.02)N, (Ti0.44Al0.44Cr0.1Y0.02)N and (Ti0.34Al0.34Cr0.3Y0.02)N coatings were respectively deposited on a wrought martensite steel 1Cr11Ni2W2MoV for aero-engine compressor blades by arc ion plating technique with a pulse substrate bias. All the coatings have B1NaCl phase structure with a (220) preferred orientation and dense structures. The introduction of chromium into the coatings gave rise to a minute shrinkage of crystal lattice and a decrease of crystal size. Annealed at 800°C, Oxidation-resistance of the coatings improved with increased Cr content. But heat-treated at 900°C, the incorporation of Cr gave rise to obvious decrease of oxidation-resistance.

The loss mechanisms which control 2D incidence range are discussed with an emphasis on determining which real in-service geometric variations will have the largest impact. For the majority of engine compressor blades (Minlet>0.55) both the negative and positive incidence limits are controlled by supersonic patches. It is shown that these patches are highly sensitive to the geometric variations close to, and around the leading edge. The variations used in this study were measured from newly manufactured as well as ex-service blades. Over most the high pressure compressor considered, it was shown that manufacture variations dominated. The first part of the paper shows that, despite large geometric variations (∼10% of leading edge thickness), the incidence range responded in a linear way. The result of this is that the geometric variations have little effect on the mean incidence range of a row of blades. In the second part of the paper a region of the design space is identified where non-linear behavior can result in a 10% reduction in positive incidence range. The mechanism for this is reported and design guidelines for its avoidance offered. In the final part of the paper, the linear behavior at negative incidence and the transonic nature of the flow is exploited to design a robust asymmetric leading edge with a 5% increase in incidence range.

This paper presents results of numerical crack propagation analysis of the compressor blades subjected to transverse vibrations. For stress intensity factor calculation in the half-elliptical crack, a dual boundary element method was used. In this analysis the automated remeshing procedure was used for creation of numerical models with a different crack size. Obtained results of numerical calculations were compared to results of experimental investigations performed for PZL-10W engine compressor blades tested in resonance conditions.

This research investigates the effect of cobalt on the deformation behaviour of a porous TiNi-based alloy that was obtained by sintering. Porous TiNi-based alloys with cobalt additives, accounting for 0–2 at. % and with a pitch of 0.5, were obtained. The structural-phase state of the porous material was researched by X-ray structural analysis. The effect of different amounts of Co (used as an alloying additive) on the deformation behaviour was investigated by tensile to fracture. The fractograms of fracture of the experimental samples were analysed using scanning electron microscopy. For the first time, the present research shows a diagram of the deformation of a porous TiNi-based alloy that was obtained by sintering under tensile. The stages of deformation were described according to the physical nature of the processes taking place. The effect of the cobalt-alloying additive on the change in the critical stress of martensitic shear was investigated. It was found that the behaviour of the concentration dependency of stress at concentrations under 1.5 at. % Co was determined by an increase in the stress in the TiNi solid solution. This phenomenon is attributed to the arrangement of Co atoms on the Ti sublattice, as well as an increase in the fraction of the B19′ phase in the matrix. The steep rise of the developed forces on the concentration dependency of the martensitic shear stress at 2 at. % Co is presumably attributed to the precipitation hardening of austenite due to the precipitation of finely dispersed coherent Ti3Ni4 phase following the decrease of fraction of martensite. An analysis of fractograms showed that as more cobalt was added, areas of fracture with traces of martensite plates of the B19′ phase started to prevail. At 2 at. % Co these plates fill almost the entire area of the fracture. The research findings presented in this work are of great importance, since they can be used to achieve the set of physical and mechanical properties required for the development of biocompatible materials for implantology.

BACKGROUND: Manufacturing costs, along with operational performance, are among the major factors determining the selection of the propulsion system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), especially for aerial targets and cruise missiles. OBJECTIVES: In this paper, the design requirements and operating parameters of small turbofan engines for single-use and reusable UAVs are analysed to introduce alternative materials and technologies for manufacturing their compressor blades, such as sintered titanium, a new generation of aluminium and an alloy based on titanium aluminides. METHODS: To assess the influence of severe plastic deformation (SPD) on the hardening efficiency of the proposed materials, the alloys in the coarse-grained and submicrocrystalline states were studied. Changes in physical and mechanical properties of materials were taken into account. The thermodynamic analysis of the compressor was performed in a finite element analysis system (ANSYS) to determine the impact of gas pressure and temperature on the aerodynamic surfaces of compressor blades of all stages. RESULTS: Based on thermal and structural analysis, the stress and temperature maps on compressor blades and vanes were obtained, taking into account the physical and mechanical properties of advanced materials and technologies of their processing. The safety factors of the components were established based on the assessment of their stress-strength reliability. Thanks to nomograms, the possibility of using the new materials and the technologies was confirmed in view of the permissible operating temperature and safety factors of blades. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed alternative materials and production technologies for the compressor blades and vanes meet the design requirements of the turbofan at lower manufacturing costs.

Porcine extracellular matrix (pECM)-derived hydrogels were introduced, in recent years, aiming to benefit the pECM’s microstructure and bioactivity, while controlling the biomaterial’s physical and mechanical properties. The use of pECM from different tissues, however, offers tissue-specific features that can better serve different applications. In this study, pECM hydrogels derived from cardiac, artery, pancreas, and adipose tissues were compared in terms of composition, structure, and mechanical properties. While major similarities were demonstrated between all the pECM hydrogels, their distinctive attributes were also identified, and their substantial effects on cell-ECM interactions were revealed. Furthermore, through comprehensive protein and gene expression analyses, we show, for the first time, that each pECM hydrogel supports the spontaneous differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells towards the resident cells of its origin tissue. These findings imply that the origin of ECM should be carefully considered when designing a biomedical platform, to achieve a maximal bioactive impact.

Among modern refractory concretes (MRC), those with low cement content (LCC) where CAC = 4-6wt%, are widely commercialized, considering that their properties approximate those of burned bricks of the same class. In this work, the effect of the modulus q of Andreasen ́s particle size distribution, on the physical (porosity, bulk density) and mechanical (flexural strength and dynamic elastic modulus) properties, of either pre-fired or simply dried specimens of a ≥85% Al2O3 LCC ́s, was investigated. The different LCC ́s samples were formulated according to the Andreasen ́s model, using several distribution modulus (q = 0.22, 0.26, 0.30, 0.33 and 0.42). Measurements of the Dynamic Elastic Modulus (DEM) as a function of temperature (25 to 1500°C), using the Impulse Excitation Technique (IET), were taken as a key indicator of the microstructure dynamic behavior. For the sake of just a punctual comparative term, the physical and mechanical properties of a conventional type refractory concrete (CRC) with a higher CAC percentage (15%) formulated with q = 0.26 was also evaluated. The results indicated that distribution modulus values of; q =0.22, 0,26, 0.30 and 0.33 lead to higher DEM values. While q=0.42 lead to the smallest value in the LCC series. Also, higher DEM values ​​were obtained for LCC ́s (CAC = 5%) than for conventional concrete with CAC = 15% under the same value of q for pre-fired samples. In addition, by observing the occurrence of damping effects in specific temperature ranges, the loss of crystallization water from the calcium aluminate hydrates, as well as the development of pyroplastic behavior could be inferred. The gathered information is relevant to predict the behavior of LCC ́s and CRC ́s when put into service for the first time.
