Chemical milling of gas turbine engine blisks

A method for chemical milling of a gas turbine engine blisk having a hub and a plurality of blades made of metal for the purpose of changing the dimensional characteristics (i.e., chord and/or thickness) of one or more of these blades. At least one blade of the blisk is treated with a chemical etcha...

Zusammenfassung:	A method for chemical milling of a gas turbine engine blisk having a hub and a plurality of blades made of metal for the purpose of changing the dimensional characteristics (i.e., chord and/or thickness) of one or more of these blades. At least one blade of the blisk is treated with a chemical etchant of the metal that the blade is made of for a period of time sufficient to change at least one of the chord and thickness of the blade(s). In a preferred aspect of this method, at least one of the blades of a rotationally imbalanced blisk is treated with the chemical etchant for a period of time sufficient to change the chord and/or thickness of these blades so that the blisk is rotationally balanced.
