Rotech Consolidated Engines has reportedly introduced a unique technology for the production of aircraft engine blades. Innovative developments have made it possible to produce the most precisely shaped parts, including large parts, while also reducing labor costs and removing labor from the production process.
The UEC Saturn plant in Ribinsk produces engine blades using a device for twisting high-precision titanium blades and a technology for hybrid stamping two-phase titanium alloy blades.
The blades of a gas turbine engine are one of the most complex and science-intensive engine parts in terms of design and production. The product requires the most precise shape, can withstand high loads and high temperatures, and is produced using rare metals and unique alloys as well as composite materials to ensure low weight and high strength of the workpiece. Only six countries in the world have the capacity to design and produce engine blades. Having these technologies shows that the mechanical engineering industry in the country is highly developed.
“Both of these inventions are related to the production of blade stampings. The twisting device is built into the process flow, and now only Russian-made equipment is used to produce blades for advanced aircraft engines, expanding the scope and ability to produce large blades. In turn, Hybrid stamping, based on additive manufacturing technology and isothermal stamping technology, meets the required standards in terms of production economy and mechanical specifications, says Igor Ilyin, chief engineer of PJSC UEC Saturn.
These inventions were exhibited at the Archimedes 2022 International Salon and won gold and silver medals. Rotech United Engines extensively uses the latest technology to manufacture and produce the PD-8 series of civil aircraft engines to replace imported SSJ-NEW, PD-14 to replace medium-range MS-21, and PD-35 to replace advanced wide-body long-haul aircraft.
Not only does Baoti take technological innovation as the first driving force to lead high-quality development, it has become the consensus of Baoji large and small titanium industry enterprises.
