Abstract
A method for accurately producing the drilled hole in a wall of a component fabricated by investment casting process, such as for use in a blade or steam turbine includes the following steps. The 3D data of actual component is obtained from the measurements or from the numerical simulation. The actual model and the ideal model are aligned and compared, a series of cutting planes are given to establish a series of 2D cross-sections of the actual and ideal models after registration. Each cross-section is dispersed into discrete points, the distance between each corresponding points are calculated and formed into 2D displacement. The accurate parametric model consisting of the depth, hole center, and the nominal vector is obtained on the basis of considering the deviations in geometrical and positional values. The drilled hole is then produced according to the corrected parametric drilled-hole geometrical and positional value.
