    You would not believe something so big could be built with such precision, I worked in a factory that supplied aeronautical components ,the attention to detail is phenomenal ,the thought of one months work at a cost of millions not passing final inspection and end up being scrapped concentrates the mind.The manufacturing engineers and assembly mechanics are not your average Joes

    Yeah, there is a good reason why manufacturing for this particular gear is explained. That weld is messed up properly.
    10 May 2012: G-REDW, an EC225 LP, carried out a controlled ditching following indications of a failure of the main gearbox (MGB) lubrication system and a subsequent failure indication warning on the emergency lubrication system. An investigation by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) identified a 360° circumferential crack in the bevel gear vertical shaft in the main gearbox, in the vicinity of a manufacturing weld, causing disengagement of the drive to both mechanical oil pumps.[70]
    22 October 2012: G-CHCN, an EC225 LP of CHC Scotia, ditched in the North Sea 32 miles south west of Shetland whilst en route from Aberdeen to the West Phoenix drilling rig. All 19 on board were rescued. A special bulletin issued by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said the main and standby oil pumps were not working; a 360-degree crack found on the bevel gear vertical shaft of the gearbox had prevented the oil pump gears from being driven. A worldwide grounding of the type was initiated in response.[35] In both of the 2012 incidents, although the main gearbox lubrication system had failed, the backup system was working correctly but displaying an erroneous warning light, due to an incorrect specification of a pressure switch, which led to the helicopters being ditched.[71]
    29 April 2016: LN-OJF, an EC225 LP of CHC Helikopter Service, crashed at an islet near Turøy in the Bergen archipelago, en route to Bergen Airport, Flesland, from the Gullfaks B platform in the North Sea. The helicopter was carrying 11 passengers and 2 crew members; there were no survivors. Eyewitnesses reported that the main rotor separated from the hull immediately before the crash. Due to the crash, all commercial flights by EC225 helicopters, excluding search and rescue flights, were grounded by both Norwegian and British civil aviation authorities.[72][73][74]

    "Non-destructive testing" is what you do to ensure that "production" parts are made "correctly" when "finished" AFTER developing the "manufacturing process" using DESTRUCTIVE TESTING OF "PROTOTYPE PARTS" and even then you still keep DESTRUCTIVELY "TESTING" PRODUCTION PARTS TO MAKE SURE "FAMILIARITY" HASN'T TURNED INTO "COMPLACENCY".

      Your example with two factory fires a month isn't the same thing. Most businesses would investigate what went wrong the first time, then implement steps and processes to minimise the risk of it happening again. If you know procedures are not being followed, yet nothing is being done to correct that, that's just blatant irresponsibility.
      I'm pretty sure Airbus don't employ a "It's fine, it'll do" attitude. Failures occur. They make improvements to minimise repeated failures.

  • @deeremeyer1749
    @deeremeyer1749 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    That's not a "two-piece gear" unless they're "friction welding" the "pieces" together post-machining of the "ring gear". If those "genius" engineers would simply use a "bolt-on" ring gear and carrier and treat that rotor gearbox like a simple "differential" ring & pinion set-up in the axle or transaxle of any and every "land vehicle" bigger/more complex than a motorcycle or "trike" built whether on tires or tracks, they wouldn't need those fancy "surface grinder" stones to "machine" gear teeth because they wouldn't have to BE that "precisely" finished and ground. When dealing with a RING AND PINION SET the "final machining" is done BY THE PARTS THEMSELVES.
    They could properly "match" the ring gear and its pinion(s) before assembly and let the parts lap and "finish machine" each other BEFORE the whole gearbox is assembled and its too late to properly inspect and observe the "break-in" process. And if that "chrome plated" gear is for anything but a "cutaway display" gearbox its no wonder "Eurocopters" have so many "gearbox" failures and crashes. You don't CHROME PLATE POWERTRAIN PARTS BECAUSE CHROME PLATING "HARDENS" THE SURFACE OR RATHER ADDS A "HARDENED" SURFACE TO THE EXISTING "STEEL" AND THAT CHROME SURFACE IS FAR TOO THIN AND BRITTLE AND "RETAINS" STRESSES IN THE METAL ITS PLATED ONTO AND WILL "FRACTURE" INEVITABLY WHEN SUBJECTED TO HIGH "UNIT LOADS" AND IT ALSO DOESN'T "RETAIN" LUBRICANT PROPERLY AND WILL LET HEAT "IN" TO THE GEAR BUT WON'T LET IT BACK OUT.
    And if they have to "vacuum remelt" the "steel" before making their "blanks" they're using RECYCLED "steel" and that is EPIC STUPIDITY AND ENGINEERING IDIOCY AT ITS FINEST. USING "RECYCLED" STEEL FOR "CAST IRON" CASTINGS AND "LOW-LOAD" PARTS IS ONE THING. AND EVEN THEN IT NEEDS TO BE VERY PRECISELY "MIXED" TO PRODUCE "NODULAR IRON" OF THE PROPER "TYPE". BUT YOU NEVER "RECYCLE" STEEL/IRON FOR SOMETHING LIKE GEARS OR OTHER HIGH-LOAD/HIGH-FRICTION PARTS THAT ARE IN "MESH" WITH OTHER PARTS BECAUSE "GRADING" IT BY "TENSILE STRENGTH" AS IS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO ONLY TELLS YOU THAT THE METAL RESISTS "STRETCHING" PROPERLY AND DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING ABOUT HOW IT PERFORMS UNDER "PRESSURE" BEING "COMPRESSED". AND SINCE THERE ARE OTHER METALS BESIDES "IRON" IN "STEEL" AND MANY OF THEM HAVE "HIGHER TENSILE STRENGTH" AND ARE "HARDER" THAN IRON, IF YOU GO BY "TENSILE STRENGTH" AND "HARDNESS" ALONE YOU CAN END UP WITH METAL THAT "EXCEEDS SPECIFICATIONS" BUT IS DESTINED TO FAIL IN SERVICE WHERE "TENSILE STRENGTH" AND "HARDNESS" OVER AND ABOVE THE "SPECIFICATION" ARE A VERY, VERY BAD THING.
    The ONLY way to know what's in "high speed steel" for powertrain parts and other parts that lives literally depend on is to "MIX" it from "SCRATCH" SINCE YOU CAN'T "UN-MIX" METALS WHEN "REMELTING" THEM. Its also IMPOSSIBLE to "melt" ANY metal in a "vacuum" since as the metal "melts" the "contaminants" in it with a melting/boiling point LOWER than its melting point will "boil off" and vaporize and you no longer HAVE a "vacuum". Nor do you WANT ONE since "air pockets" in a "casting" aren't "air pockets" at all but are "vacuum pockets" once the casting cools. And "hydrogen inclusions" and "nitrogen pockets" and other "casting defects" once though to occur during "casting" USUALLY OCCUR DURING COOLING BECAUSE OF THOSE "VACUUM POCKET" DRAWING IN "AIR" AND WATER VAPOR AND BEING HOT ENOUGH TO "DISSOCIATE" THE HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN IN THE WATER VAPOR. THEN WHEN ONE HYDROGEN MOLECULE AND ONE OXYGEN MOLECULE "BURN" TOGETHER THERE IS A SINGLE HYDROGEN MOLECULE LEFT TO GET DRAWN INTO THOSE "VACUUMS".
    NITROGEN CAN DO THE SAME THING BEING AN INERT GAS AND MAKING UP SO MUCH OF OUR ATMOSPHERE. BUT WHEN METAL IS ACTUALLY COMPLETELY "MELTED" WHEN CAST IT WON'T FORM "POCKETS" AND IS VERY DENSE AND INCREASES IN DENSITY IF ALLOWED TO "AIR COOL" NORMALLY. "AIR-COOLING" USING "COMPRESSED AIR" IS WHAT CREATES THOSE "POCKETS" AS AIR/WATER VAPOR ARE "INJECTED" INTO THE CAST PART OR BILLET. ESPECIALLY WHEN "HEAT TREATING" AND JUST HEATING TO IT'S PLASTIC TRANSITION TEMPERATURE (A DULL CHERRY RED FOR STEEL) WHERE ITS MOST "POROUS" AND "LEAST DENSE". THAT'S WHY SMART "METALLURGISTS" HEAT-TREAT AND "QUENCH" WITH WATER OR OIL IN A "NON-AEROBIC" AIR-FREE LIQUID AND "QUENCHING" WITH "AIR" IS AN OBSOLETE AND HORRIBLE WAY TO PRODUCE ANY "CASTING" THAT'S A "BLANK" OR "BILLET" PARTS WILL BE MACHINED FROM.
    It IS done as a way to "cheaply" and "cleanly" and "safely" quench castings/blanks/billets by "manufacturers" and "suppliers" ALSO trying to "save money" by producing "near-net castings" that are the "rough" shape of the "finished part" because it allows a rapid enough "quenching" to produce a "heat treated" part of the proper "surface hardness" without having "dimensions" change to the point the part has to be made larger to "distort" and still have enough metal in the right places. But you don't make high-load, high-quality parts/billets/blanks CORRECTLY and SAFELY FOR THE "CONSUMER" BY "SAVING MONEY" DURING MANUFACTURING AND YOU DAMNED SURE DON'T WANT A "HARD" PART ON THE SURFACE AND A BUNCH OF "STRESS" CAST INTO AND "TRAPPED" INSIDE A PART/CASTING/BILLET/BLANK BY A "NEAR-NET" PROCESS AND "AIR QUENCHING" ALL DONE TO HAVE A "MAX-NET PROFIT MARGIN" IF YOU WANT TO NOT GET BANKRUPTED/SUED/JAILED FOR MAKING SHITTY, CHEAP PARTS FOR EXPENSIVE, COMPLEX MACHINES THAT PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE DEPENDING ON.

      +CheapSushi , doubtful. Electrics in aircraft will still use gearboxes and require extreme tolerances and intense inspection. No doubt the electric motors themselves will be well-inspected just as recip engines and turbines are today. They have to, since people's lives depend on ALL aircraft powertrain parts being reliable.

      @devilsoffspring5519 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I doubt that electric motors will catch on any time soon for helicopters, the battery energy density is nowhere near that of gasoline or kerosene.
      That being said, there have been a few successful electric airplanes for flight training and recreational flight; they only fly about an hour or so on a charge, but that's fine for training flights where you stay near the airport that you took off from. Electric motors drive the propeller directly, there's no need for a gearbox because the motor can be designed to run at the RPM required by the propeller.
      As for electric helis, if such a thing ever materializes, it very well may be possible to power the rotor directly without using a gearbox. A large-diameter 'pancake' motor with a high pole count would run at very low RPM and provide the torque required for the rotor, and the tail rotor could be powered with it's own smaller motor, saving the weight and driveline losses of the gearboxes and tail rotor driveshaft.

      This comedy of errors led to the incident.

      @Mirandorl 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Mel D Hi Mel, it depends on what duty the part is carrying out on how thick it needs to be. At 0:29 you can see what it does. All the torque and stress gets put through the bevel gear at the top, and the rest of the part only supports the gear and provides drive for small oil pumps. In aviation you are always trying to save weight, so you only reinforce the most highly stressed parts.
      However, the rest of the video explains that the supporting section and bevel gear are welded together (chosen because its lighter), and this weld is very close to the highly stressed bevel gear. All the failures have been around that weld. Welds tend to be weaker than the parent metal and this is where you would expect a fatigue failure of this sort. If the metal was thicker you would still need to attach the two parts, and would ultimately only delay a failure, so long as the vulnerable weld exists. In the L2 revision, they did thicken the section around the weld. Its not yet clear if this is what failed this time, and it may not be (see below)
      Without the weld its possible the failure would not occur. A fundamental redesign may be needed, a "design for manufacture" that eliminates the need for two parts. That is true for the previous failures that only disabled the oil pumps but left power intact. In this new failure, the whole rotor has come off, which suggests a failure of another part of the gear or other part entirely

      @@Mirandorl A proper weld is usually stronger than the base metal. It's the heat affected zone that usually fails. This is why welding technology always strives to minimize the size of the heat affected zone by increasing the power density (can't think of how to phrase it better) of the process and minimizing the time the workpiece is being heated. From gas torch to electric arc to laser beam to electron beam.

    They must be kicking themselves for not trying harder to figure out a way to cut the cogs in that gear so it could be made in one piece.

      It had nothing to do with the shaft. A planetary gear failed catastrophically.

      It gets to hot for such laminates inside the Gearbox. The gears themselves are still best when made from metal

      @+Meddlemoe? What are you trying to say? ppl are trying to say that the whole thing should be machined from a complete thing and not welded..

    • @devilsoffspring5519
      @devilsoffspring5519 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      It's the only way to produce it. The video shows why--the main gear and hub extension together don't allow clearance for necessary machining operations. This is how it's done, and it has always been done this way for vital reasons.
      Nuclear reactors have critical components welded together as well. So does your car :)

    • @rkan2
      @rkan2 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @+Devil's Offspring: True, but in either case your life wouldn't come in danger within the minute. A car you can stop, a nuclear reactor will take minutes to hours to overheat and there are backups (that should be working).
