Patent GB-2581976-A (GB)
Title: Manufacturing method
Inventor: Martin J Rawson
IPC: C22C38/54
Filed: 2019-03-05
Abstract: A method (40, fig 4) of incremental cold-forming to reduce in thickness, e.g. by at least 20-60% and at most 80-90%, a maraging steel blank (81, 50, 70, fig 4) provided, e.g. by machining, with an initial shape. The cold-forming, e.g. flow-forming 80, shear-forming, or rotary forging, may be carried out below the recrystallisation temperature and optionally at room temperature. An age-hardening operation (42, fig 4) may be carried out e.g. at 400-600 degrees, optionally 540 degrees, for 3 to 25 hours, optionally 10 hours, after the cold forming. The blank may be initially flat, cup-shaped, or tubular 81 and may be machined from bar, tube, welded wrapper, or extruded stock, transformed into austenite by heating and then quenched. Quenching may be performed such that austenite is retained before the cold forming operation. A component, e.g. a core shaft, e.g. for gas turbine engine (10, fig 1), e.g. with second turbine (17, fig 1), second compressor (15, fig 1), and second core shaft (27, fig 1), may be made with the method. The maraging steels may comprise nickel and chromium.
