Abstract

The development of aviation technology is based on the introduction of new progressive technologies, the use of new materials, the improvement of technological equipment and tools. Improving aircraft engines often leads to greater use of wear-resistant, heat-resistant, heat-resistant materials based on nickel and titanium, which are characterized by low machinability. Blade processing of such alloys faces many difficulties: increased equipment wear, increased machine setup time for the operation, high cutting forces, increased wear of the cutting tool, increased processing time, etc. All this harms productivity, an increase in production time and a decrease in economic efficiency. The use of the operation of creep feed grinding instead of blade milling operations, pulling, planning and abrasive operations (pre-grinding, final grinding) reduces the time to manufacture parts while maintaining its quality and accuracy. The study of the technical and economic aspect of the proposed technology of creep feed grinding instead of preliminary and final grinding operations is of interest. The paper compares two methods of abrasive machining: traditional grinding and creep feed grinding on the SPD-30B surface grinder from Jotes (Poland) with a planetary grinding head (PGH) installed on its spindle. The study was conducted when grinding the castle part of turbine blades. The removable allowance was 3.8 mm. The processing according to the traditional grinding scheme took place in 10 passes, while the processing time was about three and a half minutes. The processing under the scheme of creep feed grinding with the use of PGH for 4 passes took about a minute of machine time. It should be noted a significant increase in productivity at the first transition when removing an allowance of 3.5 mm in the mode of deep grinding compared to traditional grinding 2.1 times. On the second and third transitions, the performance of both methods is virtually the same.
