Evaluation Of Foreign Object Damage On The Fan Blades with Microscopic Techniques by Aykut Batar, Sezer Yumrukaya, Ayhan İsmail Kırca, Seyid Fehmi Diltemiz

“…Here are some of the benefits of using a microscope for blade inspection:Microscopes can provide high magnification and resolution, allowing for detailed inspection of the blade surface and any defects or damage.Microscopes can help detect and identify small cracks, chips, or other forms of damage that may not be visible to the naked eye.Microscopes can provide accurate measurements of the blade's dimensions, which can be important for quality control and maintenance purposes.Microscopes can help identify the root cause of any damage or wear on the blade, which can inform future design and manufacturing decisions.Microscopes can provide visual documentation of the blade's condition, which can be useful for tracking changes over time and for communicating with other stakeholders.Overall, using a microscope for blade inspection can help ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of gas turbine engines and other equipment that relies on blades.In this study, a comparison was made between visual inspection, borescope control, stereo microscope and SEM-EDX microscope methods used in the detection and removal of foreign material damage. …”
