VISUAL INSPECTION METHOD OF AIRFOIL TIPS OF A BLADED ROTOR

VISUAL INSPECTION METHOD OF AIRFOIL TIPS OF A BLADED ROTOR

A method can comprise: scanning, via an optical scanner, a tip (214) of an airfoil (210) of a bladed rotor (200), the tip (214) including a coating (220) disposed thereon, the coating (220) comprising a metal plating (221) and a plurality of protrusions (220), each protrusion in the plurality of pro...

Zusammenfassung:A method can comprise: scanning, via an optical scanner, a tip (214) of an airfoil (210) of a bladed rotor (200), the tip (214) including a coating (220) disposed thereon, the coating (220) comprising a metal plating (221) and a plurality of protrusions (220), each protrusion in the plurality of protrusions (220) extending from the metal plating (221); comparing a coating parameter of the coating (220) to a coating parameter threshold based on scanner data from the optical scanner; and determining whether the coating (220) maintains sufficient coverage of the tip (214) of the airfoil (210) based on the comparing.
