Abstract

This paper introduces two 3-D transient finite element model of Laser Rapid Forming (LRF) to investigate the process of turbine blade repairing. The first proposed model can predict the geometry of repairing layers as a function of time and process parameters including laser energy, scaning velocity, powder feed rate and material properties using finite element birth and death strategy. The second model can narrate the evolution of temperature/stress field during hollow blade repairing using the Bilinear Isotropic Hardening (BISO) and Von Mises yield criteria. Using these two model together, the LRF repairing process with three repairing layers of a Ti6Al4V hollow blade brim are studied. The distribution of temperature, distortion, and residual stress are revealed, all which provide theoretical and practical base for laser rapid forming and repairing of highly sophisticated turbine blade parts.
