Prototype station dedicated to aircraft engine propeller profiles and advanced materials testing
This paper gives the idea and builds a sample test bench that allows for full testing and checking of new heat and anti-wear layers used in small plane piston engines. It explains the design idea, tech answers, and ways to watch the most key params like temp, load, spin speed, and forces of friction. The bench makes a copy of the running state usual for plane engines, making it easy to check the rubbing and heat features of the picked coats and how they act under set conditions. This includes sample test results as well as the ability to read specific engine parameters by standard engine components without any need for specialized anti-wear coatings. The novelty of this work lies in the development of a unique measurement and control system for real-time tracking of all critical engine parameters and for adaptive proper conditions to different scenarios. Therefore, the test stand should not only accurately repeat the loads typical of small aviation engines, but also permit the preparation and study of multi-layer anti-wear and thermal coatings with drastically extended service life and reduced operation costs for such power units.
