Abstract

The influence of the structure and crystallographic texture of VT3-1 alloy formed by thermomechanical processing of a forging and also of the production factors of subsequent production of a gas turbine engine blade from the forging on the fatigue resistance characteristics was investigated. It was established that the reason for the reduction in fatigue limit and the significant spread in test data is nonuniformity of the structure and texture, both in different forgings and within the same forging, caused by variations in such parameters of thermomechanical processing as the temperature and degree of deformation. The nonuniformity plays a determining role in the reduction in fatigue limit as the result of hydrogen absorption during chemical etching. It was shown that such an effect may be eliminated by degassing vacuum annealing and the general level of fatigue resistance characteristics may be increased as the result of thermomechanical processing of forgings with strict observance of the specified forging temperature.
