  • Turbine blade
    Patent number: 6533547
    Abstract: The turbine blade has an internal space through which a coolant fluid is guided and in which stiffening ribs are formed to reinforce and support the external walls. Coolant screens that reduce the cooling of the stiffening ribs, are arranged in front of the stiffening ribs in order to reduce thermal stresses. The turbine blade is preferably a gas turbine blade.
    Type: Grant

  • Proof test for ceramic parts
    Patent number: 5647667
    Abstract: For testing structural ceramic parts under overload conditions, a previously calculated temperature distribution is generated on the part by thermal radiation, this temperature distribution inducing the desired test stress or overload. The temperature distribution is measured with topically and temporally resolving temperature sensors, is compared to a desired or calculated temperature distribution, and is regulated by varying the duration and/or location of the radiation influence until the desired temperature distribution has been produced.
