Method of repairing or reworking a turbomachine disk and repaired or reworked turbomachine disk
View Patent ↗A method of repairing or of reworking a turbomachine disk including, on its rim, at least one external radial tab with an axial bore to accept an axial pin including a head and a shank with a threaded portion, the pin being slipped into the bore such that the head comes to press against one face of the tab through tightening of a nut on to the shank with the threaded portion against the opposite face of the tab, the pin forming a retaining mechanism to keep a tab secured to a component attached to the rim. A spot face is machined in the tab around the bore corresponding to a wearing zone, and a replacement pin including a flange pressing against the surface of the spot face, of a diameter greater than that of the head, is fitted.
1. A method of repairing or of reworking a turbomachine disk including, on its rim, at least one external radial tab including an axial bore to accept an axial pin including a head and a shank with a threaded portion, the pin being slipped into the bore such that the head comes to press against one face of the tab through tightening of a nut on to the shank with a threaded portion against the opposite face of the tab, the pin forming a radial retaining system to keep a tab secured to a component attached to the rim, the method comprising:
identifying a wearing zone on a radial surface of the tab;
machining a spot face in the tab around the bore corresponding to the wearing zone so as to remove the wearing zone;
enlarging the bore by machining to eliminate cracked material to make a new bore; and
fitting a replacement pin including a flange pressing against a surface of the spot face, of a diameter greater than that of the head, the replacement pin including a shank with a threaded portion of a diameter corresponding to that of the new bore.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the flange is at most equal to a depth of the spot face.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the enlargement is of the order of 25%.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the nut is replaced with a second nut comprising a base that is enlarged by comparison with the nut.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spot face machined is in a shape of a U opening onto an exterior edge of the tab.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spot face machined is in a shape of an L opening onto outer and lateral edges of the tab.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spot face machined is circular and machined around a bore in the tab.
8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tab retains a central retaining tab of an inter-blade platform in a turbojet fan disk.
9. A turbomachine disk comprising, on its rim:
at least one outer radial fixing tab comprising an axial pin comprising a head pressing against a first radial face of the tab and a shank with a threaded portion onto which a tightening nut is screwed on the opposite radial face of the tab,
wherein the head comprises a flange of a diameter greater than that of the head itself, pressing against the first radial face, the flange being contained in a spot face of the tab, the spot face being machined in an identified wearing zone on the first radial face of the tab,
wherein the spot face opens onto a free upper edge of the tab.
10. The turbomachine disk as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a thickness of the flange is at most equal to a depth of the spot face.
11. A turbojet fan rotor comprising:
a disk as claimed in claim 9 ; and
inter-blade platforms comprising inner radial tabs retained by the pins.
12. A turbomachine comprising a fan rotor as claimed in claim 11 .
