  • Unflared compressor blade
    Patent number: 8596986
    Abstract: A compressor component having an airfoil with a profile in accordance with Table 1 is disclosed. The compressor component, such as a compressor blade, has an increased thickness over a portion of the airfoil span in order to increase stiffness. Furthermore, the airfoil has been restacked so as to induce a compressive stress in the blade root/attachment area. The increased stiffness and restacked airfoil combine to improve high-cycle fatigue capability of the compressor component.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 23, 2011
    Date of Patent: December 3, 2013
    Assignee: Alstom Technology Ltd.
    Inventors: Edward Len Miller, William David Day, Hitesh Narendra Patel, Jeffrey S. Taylor
