A novel process of chemical-mechanical fluid-solid coupling polishing with high-quality and high-efficiency for turbine blisk

Turbine blisk is the core part of an aero-engine, which is characterized by its complex blade profile, resulting in the difficulty of its polishing. In this study, a novel process of chemical-mechanical fluid-solid coupling polishing was proposed to achieve high-quality and high-efficiency polishing for the blisk. Analyzed the principle of chemical-mechanical fluid-solid coupling polishing process of the blisk with the material of K418 nickel-based alloy. Then, established the material removal theoretical model of the process, and investigated the influence law of process parameters on the blisk surface force state to obtain the optimal parameters by using FLUENT fluid simulation. Moreover, simulated the abrasive particle trajectory to reveal the formation mechanism of the blisk surface with high-quality and high-efficiency. Furtherly, experiment shows that the novel process can effectively improve the blisk surface quality, and the surface roughness Ra decreased from 3.151 μm to 0.779 μm. This method provides a novel solution for precision polishing of the complex structural parts.
