Adaptive Metal Deposition and Data Management for Automated Overhaul of Complex Turbine Components
Authors:
Claus Bremer, BCT GmbH; USA
Presented at ICALEO 2007
The automated overhaul of turbine components consist of a chain of different processes as inspection, material addition and re-shaping. The direct metal deposition methods have been improved by employing adaptive machining technology. The adaptation algorithms make use of the geometrical information provided by optical scanning systems or in-process measuring equipment and compensate for the part-to-part variation of the turbine components to be overhauled. With this approach, the metal deposition of the individually worn and deformed...$28.00

Computation of Temperature Fields for Laser Transmission Welding of Plastics
Authors:
Thomas Frick, Bavarian Laser Centre; Erlangen Germany
Presented at ICALEO 2007
Laser transmission welding of plastics is a joining technique which permits the welding of plastic parts with low thermal and mechanical stresses. In order to compute the temperature fields during the welding process a simulation model of the process is established. Especially the optical and thermal properties of the welded materials are necessary as input parameters in order to model the process properly. While the thermal properties of polymers are well-investigated, there is little knowledge about the optical properties of plast...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
Laser beam welding of thermoplastic polymers offers innovative solutions to overcome limitations of conventional joining technologies. These benefits are used in more and more industrial applications due to the accuracy and flexibility of the process and the quality of the weld seams. To meet industrial requirements specific welding procedures (contour, quasi-simultaneous or simultaneous) or adapted materials (color) have already been developed. In parallel new sectors o...$28.00

Laser drilling is the primary method for the production of cooling holes in gas turbine engine components. Hole quality, which includes surface debris (its amount and location), hole taper, size, and barreling, is a major factor in determining the success of the cooling holes and therefore the performance of the engine. As the n...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
The latest Turbine Cooling Hole designs employ strategies that maximize engine efficiency in ways that were unheard of just a few years ago. These include randomly spaced and angled cooling holes, that often include fan-shaped exits to provide efficient, diffused cooling, and Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) of the components surfaces. The challenges that are presented in manufacturing these cooling holes a...$28.00
