What is Flow testing (cooled blades)?

Flow testing (cooled blades) capability for titanium components

NDT and dimensional inspection service for Flow testing (cooled blades), performed by certified technicians per applicable standards.

Engineering Parameters & Capabilities

Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) inspection provides quantitative dimensional verification of titanium components against GD&T specifications per ASME Y14.5. Touch-trigger probes, scanning heads, and non-contact laser sensors accommodate geometries from simple prismatic to complex freeform surfaces, specifically for blade. Precision blade for Aerospace present unique challenges: Thin-walled aerofoil sections (0.5–3 mm) are prone to chatter and deflection during machining. Profile tolerance of ±0.05 mm over 500 mm length requires adaptive toolpath strategies.

Hole Types Supported

N/A

Heat Control Measures

Thin aerofoil sections generate heat rapidly due to continuous tool engagement. High-pressure coolant (70 bar) directed at the cutting zone with through-tool cooling for deep cavities.

Flatness & Stress Relief

Thin aerofoil sections (< 1 mm) prone to distortion during machining. Fixturing with vacuum or wax potting; stress relief between roughing and finishing passes.

Tolerance

+0.02 mm (profile) / +0.05 mm (position)
