Assessment of NASA Dual Microstructure Heat Treatment Method Utilizing Ladis SuperCooler(trademark) Cooling Technology

摘要

The intent of this investigation was to demonstrate the NASA DMHT method with a tailored Ladish SuperCool(Trademark) cooling method on a Rolls-Royce AE2100, stage 3 disk shape. One disk each of two alloys, LSHR and ME3, were successfully converted as shown by macrostructure. DMHT heating time selection and cooling rate was aided by finite element modeling analysis. Residual stresses were also predicted and reported. Detailed microstructural analysis was performed by NASA and included in this report. Mechanical property characterization, also planned by NASA, is incomplete at this time and not part of this report.
