Precision forging of front fan blades, abridged version
Abstract
The manufacturing of titanium alloy front fan blades with ready-for-assembly contact surfaces on conventional counterblow hammers is reported. Thermal contraction and elastic die-deformation were determined and the tooling was fabricated by computerized design. Forging trials give fan blades which dimensionally and metallurgically meet the requirements.
