Precision forged turbine and compressor blades

Abstract

A MONG DESIGN CONCEPTS, the turbine‐blade is one of the most difficult to translate into accurate dimensional fact. Shape, often the material, the standard of accuracy that must be achieved, and, in a full manufacturing programme, the quantities that are required, all create not merely initial, but continuing problems. Blade production is, indeed, a complex and continuous exercise in quality‐control.
