Compressor Blade Design Clause Samples

Compressor Blade Design. The airfoil shaped compressor rotor blades are designed to compress air efficiently at high blade tip velocities. These forged blades are attached to their wheels by dovetail connections. The dovetail is accurately machined to maintain each blade in the desired location on the wheel. The blades in the first two stages of the compressor are ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 450, a martenistic stainless steel with superior strength and corrosion resistance, which does not require a coating. Stator blades utilize square bases for mounting in the casing slots. Blade stages zero through four are mounted by axial dovetails into blade ring segments. The blade ring segments are inserted into circumferential grooves in the casing and are secured with locking rings.
