Abstract
Abstract A method of making rotor blades of radial-axial hydraulic machines, wherein a plain blade blank is obtained by welding together at least two sheet pieces that compose the blank in the direction of principal variation of the cross-sectional thickness thereof. The thickness of each of said sheet pieces is selected to be not less than a maximum cross-sectional thickness of the blank at its portion defined by said sheet piece. Then the blank is machined until the required blade outline is obtained, after which the blade blank bent to obtain the desired blade shape.

A method of making blades comprising the steps of: rolling at least two flat metal sheets having rectangular cross-sections and different thicknesses; cutting from each sheet a piece of flat sheet stock; placing said pieces side-by-side, said pieces cooperating to comprise a plain blank of said blade in a desired direction of principal variation of the cross-sectional thickness thereof, said blank having the lateral dimensions defined by the developed contour of the blade be made; the thickness of each of said pieces being at least equal to the maximum cross-sectional thickness of said blank at the portion thereof defined by said piece; welding adjacent edges of said pieces together to obtain said plain sheet blank; machining said blank to obtain a required contour of said blank for the blade to be made; and bending said machined plain blank into the desired shape of said blade.
