Publication number: 20190168327Abstract: A method for producing a turbine blade includes performing brazing treatment, performing annealing, and subjecting a base material to solutionizing treatment. In the brazing treatment, a brazing material is welded to be joined to the base material of a turbine blade by operating a heater to perform heating at a first temperature under a state in which the base material having the brazing material arranged thereon is placed in a predetermined heating furnace including the heater. In annealing, the base material is cooled by stopping the heater and lowering a furnace internal temperature after the brazing treatment. In the solutionizing treatment, ductility of the base material is improved through heating at a second temperature lower than the first temperature after the annealing.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2017Publication date: June 6, 2019Inventors: Daisuke YOSHIDA, Kazuto NISHIZAWA, Masaki TANEIKE, Ichiro NAGANO, Naotoshi OKAYA, Yoshiyuki INOUE, Hisataka KAWAI, Hisashi KITAGAKI
