Abstract

The analysis and relevance of the application of innovative technological processes in the treatment of gas turbine engine blades is considered. The technological processes of producing such blades play a decisive role in providing the reliability, performance, service life, and operation time of gas turbine engines in general. An analysis of the technological processes making it possible to increase the productivity and quality of machined blades is presented. The advantages and disadvantages of some technologies have been compared. Particular attention is paid to the technological processes of restoring worn blades for gas turbine engines. The development of intelligent process control systems in manufacturing gas turbine engine blades is one of the main directions for improving technological processes at the present time.
