Rotation body of rotary machine and method of manufacturing the rotation body
View Patent ↗According to an aspect of an exemplary embodiment, there is provided a rotation body of a rotary machine, the rotation body comprising: an impeller comprising a blade; and a shroud that is integrally formed with the impeller and has a cladding stack structure in which a plurality of laser cladding layers are stacked.
1. A rotation body of a rotary machine, the rotation body comprising:
an impeller comprising a blade; and
a shroud that is integrally formed with the impeller and has a cladding stack structure in which a plurality of laser cladding layers are stacked around an entire circumference of the impeller,
wherein a stack height direction of the laser cladding layers is a circumferential direction of the impeller.
2. The rotation body of claim 1 , wherein the rotary machine is a compressor or a pump.
3. A method of manufacturing a rotation body of a rotary machine comprising an impeller that comprises a blade, and a shroud that is integrally installed on the impeller, the method comprising:
preparing the impeller comprising the blade; and
forming the shroud having a cladding stack structure by sequentially stacking laser cladding layers via a laser cladding process around an entire circumference of the impeller,
wherein a stack height direction of the laser cladding layers is a circumferential direction of the impeller.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the rotary machine is a compressor or a pump.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the forming of the shroud comprises:
fixing a stack support to the impeller; and
forming the cladding stack structure by sequentially stacking the laser cladding layers on one surface of the stack support.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
removing the stack support when the cladding stack structure reaches near an opposite surface of the one surface of the stack support; and filling a space where the stack support is removed with the cladding stack structure by re-starting to stack the laser cladding layers.
7. A method of manufacturing a rotation body of a rotary machine comprising an impeller that comprises a blade, and a shroud that is integrally installed on the impeller, the method comprising:
preparing the impeller comprising the blade; and
forming the shroud having a cladding stack structure by sequentially stacking laser cladding layers via a laser cladding process,
wherein the forming of the shroud comprises forming the cladding stack structure by sequentially stacking the laser cladding layers while rotating the impeller.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein a direction of a rotation shaft of the impeller is perpendicular to a direction of gravity.
