Abstract

This paper proposes a method for size calculation of ceramic core locators based on model matching to cope with the difficulty to precisely quantify the sizes of ceramic core locators for hollow turbine blade investment casting wax patterns. By introducing the wall thickness weighting factors into the matching model, accurate matching between the measurement results and theoretical model is realized. Based on the measured data of matched ceramic cores, a method for size calculation of ceramic core locators is developed. Finally, a batch of ceramic cores with consistent thickness deviation is divided into two groups for use in a contrast experiment. The results show that the proposed method can effectively improve wax pattern wall thickness accuracy. Therefore it provides some guidance for controlling the accuracy of hollow turbine blade.
