Abstract:
The invention relates to a hybrid blade (1) for thermal turbomachines, having an airfoil (2) made of a metallic material of a certain density, and having a blade root (3). It is characterized in that the blade root (3), compared with the airfoil (2), is made of a different metallic material having a lower density, and in that the airfoil (20) is connected to the blade root (3) in a positive-locking manner. The blade in this case is advantageously a compressor blade, in particular a high-pressure compressor blade, in which the airfoil (2) is made of a stainless CrNi steel and the blade root (3) is made of a high-temperature titanium alloy or an intermetallic gamma titanium aluminide alloy or an intermetallic orthorhombic titanium aluminide alloy.
Abstract:
A rotating blade body is provided that can restrain vibrations of rotating blades effectively. The rotating blade body comprises rotor disc, a plurality of rotating blades being assembled so as to extend from the outer circumference of the rotor disc in a radial pattern, and sealing pins extending along the direction of the rotating shaft in the gaps between the platforms of the rotating blades being adjacent in circumferential direction. The sealing pins have a through-hole made therein, penetrating axially from one end surface to the other end surface.
Abstract:
A method of providing turbulation on the inner surface of a passage hole (e.g., a turbine cooling hole) is described. The turbulation is first applied to a substrate which can eventually be inserted into the passage hole. The substrate is often a bar or tube, formed of a sacrificial material. After the turbulation is applied to the substrate, the substrate is inserted into the passage hole. The turbulation material is then fused to the inner surface, using a conventional heating technique. The sacrificial substrate can then be removed from the hole by various techniques. Related articles are also described.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a ceramic-based bushing for mounting in a turbomachine casing to provide a smooth bearing for a pivot of a variable-pitch vane. The bushing is constituted by a metal jacket and a ceramic ring secured to the inside wall of said jacket by brazing. The invention also provides a turbomachine compressor having variable-pitch stator vanes with pivots mounted in the casing by means of such bushings.
Abstract:
The invention provides a high-temperature component for a turbomachine, in particular for a blade or vane having a main blade or vane part and a blade or vane root, the high-temperature component at least partially comprising, as base material, a porous material which is filled with a viscous filler and is surrounded by a solid layer.

Abstract:
A gas turbine part comprises a superalloy metal substrate, a bonding underlayer formed on the substrate and comprising an intermetallic compound of aluminum, nickel, and platinum, and a ceramic outer layer anchored on the alumina film formed on the bonding underlayer. The bonding underlayer essentially comprises an Ni—Pt—Al ternary system constituted by an aluminum-enriched α-NiPt type structure, in particular an Ni—Pt—Al ternary system having a composition NizPtyAlx in which z, y, and x are such that 0.05≦z≦0.40, 0.30≦y≦0.60, and 0.15≦x≦0.40.

A composition of matter is about 1 to about 3 percent rhenium, from about 6 to about 9 percent aluminum, from 0 to about 0.5 percent titanium, from about 4 to about 6 percent tantalum, from about 12.5 to about 15 percent chromium, from about 3 to about 10 percent cobalt, from about 2 to about 5 percent tungsten, from 0 to about 0.2 percent hafnium, from 0 to about 1 percent silicon, from 0 to about 0.25 percent molybdenum, from 0 to about 0.25 percent niobium, balance nickel and minor elements. The composition is preferably made into a substantially single crystal article, such as a component of a gas turbine engine.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a piston or piston head with a combustion relief (6) for an internal combustion engine. The aim of the invention is to easily and economically produce pistons having a reduced tendency to scale at the edge of the combustion relief. To this end, the piston is formed from a cylindrical unmachined part (1) made of steel, whereby the rod section has at least one front face (2). The method is characterized by the following steps: A) forming an annulary encircling recess (3) in the front face (2); B) introducing additional material (4) into the recess (3); connecting the additional material (4) to the steel of the unmachined part (1) in an at least partially non-positive manner; C) forging the unmachined part (1), which is formed according to steps A) and B), into a piston blank (5), and; D) machining the piston blank (5) into a piston (10) that is ready to be installed in an internal combustion engine.
Abstract:
A novel blade configuration does not exceed the permitted stresses for particular loads, especially as a result of centrifugal forces and which at the same time, allows the turbomachine to function with a high degree of efficiency. To this end, a moving blade for the turbomachine contains at least partially a cellular material, especially a foamed metal. The cellular material can be provided e.g. in the hollowed-out part of the moving blade.
