Protecting Coated airfoils?
(OP)
Hello,
I am looking for a way to protect a coated airfoil from chips and dings during machining of the shroud end and root end of a rotor blade. If anyone can help me it would be of great help.
Thanks you in advance,
Watash

We are receiving these parts from a OEM, they already have some machining operations done on them, We are doing the final maching and EDM work on the blade.
Each blade weights around 60LBS, and I am looking for a solution to stop the airfoil from being chipped or dinded. I am thinking about using plastic mesh around the airfoil .

If swarf damage is the problem, could you use some sort of sheild on the fixture, or perhaps play around with the cutter geometry to alter the way the chip flys off?
