Purpose. Analysis of methods of manufacturing centrifugal blades by 3D printing methods on the example of a modernized cooling system of the AI-450M engine of the Mi-2MSB helicopter.
Research methods: calculation method of finite elements, analytical.
Results. Studies have shown that the use of layer-by-layer printing technology of the centrifugal wheel of the cooling system provides the following opportunities and improvements:
- reduce the percentage of rejection of finished products by 8–9 times;
- reduce material consumption by 300–400 %;
- increase the speed of production, experiments and testing the manufacture of working elements through the development of new technologies for rapid production (rapid fabrication);
- easy printing of previously “impossible” geometry.
The analysis of possible types of manufacturing of working centrifugal wheel and the calculated estimation of thermodynamic parameters in the course of step-by-step drawing of layers of metal is carried out. The problem of a large percentage of defects in the process of classical-mechanical milling of blades was solved by changing the type of production to additive one.
Scientific novelty. In today's world, the spread of CAD / CAM / CAE / PLM technologies and the accumulation of a wide library of materials open up a large number of new and more efficient, in terms of economy and quality, methods of manufacturing components and units. Following the example of such giants in the production of aircraft engines as Rolls-Royce Motor, General Electric and Pratt & Whitney, it is clear that the use and development of the latest methods of three-dimensional printing is appropriate.
Practical value. The obtained results are important in the further process of production and modernization ofMi-2 helicopter of all modifications with the latest engines, as well as for projects for the development of helicopter construction in Ukraine - МСБ-2 “Hope”, МСБ -6 “Otaman”, МСБ-8 and others. The ability to increase the efficiency of manufacturing the main working elements - blades allows you to reduce the cost of components, their further repair, operation. The most important factor is to increase reliability, as in the manufacture reduces the likelihood of defects, which will not be detected at the stages of intermediate and final control.
