Collaborative R&D Project 2025

Follow-up: Manufacturing of Ni- and/or Ti-Blisks - Lubrication and advanced tool concepts

Which advanced tool concepts and lubrication strategies are beneficial for blade machining?

Challenge and Motivation

  • Blades of low- and high-pressure compressor blisks are often manufactured using a three-step machining process.
  • The cutting tool concepts and the cutting material have a significant influence

Objective

  • Technical evaluation on advanced tool concepts regarding the airfoil geometry and the workpiece material.
  • Economical evaluation of the resulting process chains.on the productivity and economy of the milling process.
