Note: Heating a Titanium Blade to Melt & Drain the Wax
Objective:
Heat a titanium blade to 500Ă °F (200Ă°C) to melt and drain the wax from inside the blade.
End Product:
titanium turbine blade
Equipment:
Ambrell 5 kW induction heating system equipped with a remote workhead.
An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application.
Materials:
4 in length (101.6 mm) titanium blades with 1.5 x 0.25 in (38.1 mm x 6.4 mm) metering area
Temperature:
500 °F (200 °C)
Frequency:
186 kHz
Testing:
A specially designed eight-turn helical coil is used to heat to the blades. Power is applied for 3.5 minutes. The wax melts and drips out of the blade.
Benefits:
-
Uniform and repeatable performance
-
Faster application time
-
Non-contact heating
