Abstract

Properties of the TNM-B1 γ-titanium aluminide alloy are investigated in order to find reliable results of a simulation of casting processes used to produce the blades of gas-turbine aircraft engines. Thermal properties of the TNM-B1 alloy are experimentally determined using the methods of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), laser flash analysis (LFA), and dilatometry (DIL). Various variants of gate-feeding systems for the production of cast blades using a vacuum induction melting furnace (Consarc, Scotland) in conditions of the Ufa Engine Production Association (OAO UMPO) are considered. The test casting is obtained and its defects are analyzed. A good correspondence of results of simulation to the actual centrifugal filling of blades is shown.
