Method for producing profiled parts by grinding and a turbomachine blade produced thereby
First Claim
1. Intermediate product for a turbomachine blade, comprising:
- a) an elongated metal block having an original cross section and a length of from 5 to 30% greater than the length of the blade to be produced;
b) a suction side contour, a root contour and a top contour of the blade at least partly ground into said metal block, and remaining pieces having the original cross section of the metal block protruding from both said root and said top contours; and
c) said root contour and said top contour having lengthwise dimensions slightly exceeding actual dimensions to be produced.

Abstract
A method for producing a profiled part from a blank, wherein the cross-sectional profile of the part to be produced differs in some portions both quantitatively and qualitatively from the cross-sectional profile of the blank, so that different amounts of material must be removed between a starting profile of the blank and a desired final profile of the part includes pre-shaping and finish-grinding the part to be produced in one chucking position with at least one profiled grinding wheel. The blank is translated and rotated relative to the at least one profiled grinding wheel during the pre-shaping step for giving the blank approximately a desired profile. The finish-grinding step is performed at least partially after the pre-shaping step for smoothing surfaces and producing the final profile to accurate dimensions. A turbomachine blade, an intermediate product for the turbomachine blade and a method of manufacturing the interim product are also provided.
