Abstract

1,149,549. Moulding rotor blades. GENERAL MOTORS CORP. 18 March, 1968 [12 July, 1967], No. 12965/68. Heading B5A. [Also in Division F1] A composite compressor or like rotor blade comprises a metal aerofoil member (12) having a stiffening coating layer (26) of filaments bonded together in parallel side by side relationship by a thermosetting resin. The filaments have a modulus of elasticity of at least 40 x 106 1b./in.2 and may be formed of pure boron deposited on a tungsten wire core, or of graphite or silicon carbide, the bonding agent being epoxy, polyimide or polybenzimadazole resin. The metal member (12) may be titanium or aluminium or alloys thereof, steel, or copper alloys such as brass or bronze. Sheets of the filaments are formed by coating an aluminium cylindrical mandrel with a sheet of polyvinyl chloride film, heating the mandrel to about 95 F., coating the film with resin and then rotating the mandrel so as to wind a continuous filament thereon. The filament passes through a cleaning tank of toluene during the winding operation. The wound filament is then coated with resin and wrapped with a further sheet of polyvinyl chloride film, after which the sheet and filament sandwich is removed from the mandrel by cutting through the sandwich along the length of the mandrel. The sandwich is clamped to a piece of wood and partially cured in an oven for 50 minutes at 165 F., the result being a sheet of parallel, bonded filaments. Sections corresponding to the convex and concave faces of the aerofoil metal member (12) are then cut from the sheet, placed over the cleaned and etched faces of the member and inserted in an aluminium reinforced resin mould. The mould is subjected to a pressure of 200 1b./in.2 and heated for 1 hour at 200 F. The composite blade is then removed from the mould, coated with resin, replaced in the mould, and cured for 1 hour at 200 F. and a further hour at 300 F. under 200 1b./in.2 pressure. The blade is removed from the mould and the cure completed at 300 F. in a forced draught oven for 2 hours. The resin used may consist of 100 parts by weight of epoxy resin, 1O1 parts of methyl nadic anhydride and 1À5 parts oftri-dimethylaminomethylphenol catalyst. Several layers of filaments may be bonded to the metal member, the filaments being parallel in each layer but differing in direction to those of other layers.
