Jet engine blade: Design, material, and manufacturing
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
The engine is the most important part of an airplane. Since the blades of an engine are a major factor in jet engine performance, the research of engine blades has always been a hot topic in the field of aerospace. This paper summarizes the research status in the field of jet engine blades. As for the design of the jet engine blade, the design of aerofoil and the geometrical structure of the engine blade is introduced. In the material selection of engine blades, titanium alloy materials, and the application of composite materials are introduced. Electrochemical machining (ECM) and additive technology of engine blades are introduced. The differences between them and traditional casting techniques are compared. The comprehensive analysis shows that the research on engine blades is becoming more and more mature, but there are some challenges in further optimization of manufacturing technology and materials. This paper may offer a reference for the design of jet engine blade.
