Fabrication and EDM Corrosion Resistance of Copper Electroforming Layer on Tube Electrode for Aero-Engine Blade Cooling Hole in EDM Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The process parameters of fundamental electroforming solution were optimized firstly. Furthermore, some pure copper electroforming samples were prepared in the condition of different nana La2O3 addition quantity. Three main material properties evaluated. In addition, the EDM machining experiments were conducted to verify the characteristics of electrical corrosion resistance resulting from the prepared copper tube electroforming samples for cooling hole of Inconel718 nickel alloy. EDM experimental results demonstrate that copper electroforming layer with grain size 15.9μm, microhardness 98.2HV, with 1.2g/L addition quantity of nana La2O3, and its electrode loss rate decrease 13.29% and 7.26% than pure copper and copper electroforming layer without nana La2O3 addition respectively.
