Florida Turbine Technology (FTT). High Speed Machining of IN100

Abstract

Florida Turbine Technology (FTT) has requested the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM) to evaluate two (2) difficult machining procedures of the HPT shaft. The shaft is manufactured from forged IN100 material which is a very hard, nickel based alloy that is extremely difficult to machine. FTT does not have a current process in place to manufacture the rotor shaft. The NCDMM will evaluate methods of manufacturing a .250" diameter hole, 4.0 inches deep in the forged IN100 material. The hole will need to maintain a geometric tolerance of .002" true position. The NCDMM will also evaluate methods for High Speed Machining (HSM) of the rotor blade, fin area. This evaluation will consist of machining two (2) complete blades in the forged IN100 material.
