Development of a Novel Polishing Fluid for Abrasive Jet Polishing and Evaluation of Its Polishing Performance
Aerospace engines represent high-end products in the field of advanced equipment manufacturing. As the core component of an engine
turbine blades are subjected to high temperatures during operation
leading to the formation of oil contaminants and deposits on the inner walls of blade gas film pores. To ensure engine performance
these contaminants must be effectively removed. However
due to the presence of solidified oil residues covered by deposits and their strong adhesion to the substrate
existing polishing techniques remain largely ineffective. To address this challenge
a novel polishing fluid and process—based on abrasive water jet polishing—is proposed
consisting of a hydrocarbon solvent
abrasive particles
and a dispersant. This method integrates abrasive jet technology
hightemperature hydrocarbon-based oil removal
and dispersant-assisted stabilization to overcome the limitations of traditional abrasive water jet polishing
such as poor abrasive dispersion stability and low oil removal efficiency. Experimental results show that every 20 ℃ increase in the temperature of the hydrocarbon fluid enhances oil removal efficiency by a factor of 4-5. When alcohol fatty acid esters are
used as the dispersant (at a mass fraction of 2.0%) and the abrasive concentration is maintained at 20 g/dm
3
the stability of the polishing fluid is significantly improved
leading to enhanced polishing performance. The surface roughness of the blade gas film pore was reduced from 17.205 μm to 7.810 μm. These results confirm the feasibility of the proposed polishing fluid system in improving both the cleaning efficiency and surface quality of blade gas film pores. This study provides an effective technical approach for the cleaning and polishing of complex aerospace components.
