Abstract

A method for producing a turbine blade includes performing brazing treatment, performing annealing, and subjecting a base material to solutionizing treatment. In the brazing treatment, a brazing material is welded to be joined to the base material of a turbine blade by operating a heater to perform heating at a first temperature under a state in which the base material having the brazing material arranged thereon is placed in a predetermined heating furnace including the heater. In annealing, the base material is cooled by stopping the heater and lowering a furnace internal temperature after the brazing treatment. In the solutionizing treatment, ductility of the base material is improved through heating at a second temperature lower than the first temperature after the annealing.

Claims (25)

1 . A method for producing a turbine blade, comprising:

performing brazing treatment for welding a brazing material to be joined to a base material of a turbine blade by operating a heater to perform heating at a first temperature under a state in which the base material having the brazing material arranged thereon is placed in a predetermined heating furnace including the heater;

performing annealing for cooling the base material by stopping the heater and lowering a furnace internal temperature after the brazing treatment; and

subjecting the base material to solutionizing treatment by heating the base material at a second temperature lower than the first temperature after the annealing.

2 . The method for producing a turbine blade according to claim 1 , further comprising:

forming first coating through use of a metallic material having a higher wear-resisting property than a wear-resisting property of the base material, the first coating formed on a portion of the base material corresponding to a contact surface of the turbine blade; and

forming second coating through use of a metallic material having a higher oxidation-resisting property than an oxidation-resisting property of the base material, the second coating formed on a surface of the base material,

wherein the brazing treatment is performed after the first coating and the second coating are formed.

3 . The method for producing a turbine blade according to claim 1 , further comprising performing quenching for cooling the base material by supplying a cooling air into the heating furnace after the furnace internal temperature reaches to a predetermined temperature through the annealing,

wherein the solutionizing treatment is performed after the quenching.

4 . The method for producing a turbine blade according to claim 1 , further comprising:

forming first coating through use of a metallic material having a higher wear-resisting property than a wear-resisting property of the base material, the first coating formed on a portion of the base material corresponding to a contact surface of the turbine blade;

forming second coating through use of a metallic material having a higher oxidation-resisting property than an oxidation-resisting property of the base material, the second coating formed on a surface of the base material; and

performing quenching for cooling the base material by supplying a cooling air into the heating furnace after the furnace internal temperature reaches a predetermined temperature through the annealing,

wherein the first coating and the second coating are formed after the brazing treatment, the annealing, and the quenching are performed, and

wherein the solutionizing treatment is performed after the first coating and the second coating are formed.

5 . The method for producing a turbine blade according to claim 2 , further comprising:

forming an undercoat on a surface of the base material as the second coating; and

forming a topcoat on a surface of the undercoat after the undercoat is formed,

wherein the topcoat is formed after the brazing treatment and the solutionizing treatment are performed.

6 . The method for producing a turbine blade according to claim 2 , wherein the undercoat is formed after the brazing treatment and the solutionizing treatment are performed.

7 . The method for producing a turbine blade according to claim 2 , further comprising performing aging treatment by heating the base material after the solutionizing treatment,

wherein the topcoat is formed after the aging treatment.

8 . The method for producing a turbine blade according to claim 1 , further comprising performing adjusting treatment for causing the furnace internal temperature to rise to the second temperature by operating the heater after the furnace internal temperature reaches a third temperature lower than the second temperature through the annealing.

9 . The method for producing a turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein, in the annealing, a temperature of the base material is lowered at a temperature lowering rate of from 3° C./min to 20° C./min.
