A device for targeted repair of micro-nano damage of an inner ring of an aeroengine bearing by an electric-magnetic composite field includes a driving device, an ultrasonic shot peening device, a pulsed current generator and a magnet yoke-coil device. The driving device includes a motor and a rotating shaft. The motor drives the rotating shaft to drive a bearing inner ring to synchronously rotate. The ultrasonic shot peening device includes an ultrasonic shot peening cavity, an ultrasonic probe and steel balls, the ultrasonic probe extends into the cavity from an opening in a lower end of the cavity, and the steel balls are placed on the ultrasonic probe. An opening in an upper end of the cavity is placed below the bearing inner ring. The pulsed current generator generates pulsed current on the bearing inner ring. The magnet yoke-coil device can excite a magnetic field around the bearing inner ring.

Electronic method for calibrating peening intensity
11484989 · 2022-11-01 · ·

A method for calibrating an electronic sensor for peening intensity. A range of desired intensity levels is chosen and that range may contain a single value or multiple values. The parameters for a blast stream are set that correspond to a particular intensity level. Test strips are peened in the blast stream and then the arcs of the peened strips are measured to determine the intensity level of the blast stream. Subsequently, a sensor is placed in the blast stream set at particular intensity levels and the signal generated at each intensity level is recorded. A roto-flap peening device can also be set at particular intensity levels and then a sensor is subjected to the roto-flap peening device set at those levels. A chart may be developed that correlates peening intensity to the signal of the sensor so the sensor may be used in place of Almen strips.

Machining system, apparatus and method
11607757 · 2023-03-21 · ·

A method and apparatus for processing a metallic workpiece with defined edges (e.g., a gear) comprises media blasting of the workpiece by directing a first media against exposed surfaces on the workpiece to increase the root strength of the gear, the blasting causing the defined edges to be radiused or mushroomed, ceasing the media blasting, loading the workpiece into a finishing apparatus, and subjecting the workpiece to a finishing process with a second media, the exposed surfaces on the workpiece being subjected to the finishing process to reduce the radiused edges on the workpiece created from the media blasting. The process of moving the workpiece to the spindle-finishing apparatus from the media blasting may be performed automatically by a machine. Once the workpiece has been subjected to the finishing process with the second media, it may be removed from the spindle-finishing machine, washed, and rinsed with rust inhibitor whereby wear properties of the workpiece are enhanced.
