  • Patent number: 11471964
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of drill holes in difficult to machine materials, in which a removal of material takes place in order to produce a drill hole by electrochemical erosion of material by an electrode that is moved in the longitudinal direction of the drill hole being produced in the direction onto the material to be processed at a feed rate, wherein the drilling has at least two steps, wherein, in the first step, the electrochemical processing takes place, and wherein, in a second step, the further processing of the drill hole to the final diameter takes place by machining processing or by erosion or by an electrochemical processing.

  • Patent number: 11396068
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing a rotating disk for a turbomachine, forming blade root uptakes on a plurality of circumferential positions, for which, in each case, an axially extending profile groove that is bounded circumferentially by inner wall surfaces of the rotating disk is introduced on a respective circumferential position, in which production method, initially first profile grooves are introduced in a disk on first circumferential positions, and subsequently, a second profile groove is introduced in the disk on a second circumferential position located circumferentially between the first profile grooves.

  • Publication number: 20220032384
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a plate of a turbomachine having a plurality of receiving grooves, which are formed on the cylindrical peripheral surface of the plate in order to receive blade roots of blades of the turbomachine. The receiving grooves extend in a straight line from one face of the plate to the other face of the plate, such that a straight line delimits the receiving groove from each point on the cross section of the receiving groove on one of the faces to the corresponding point on the cross section on the other face. A circular plate is provided and a plurality of receiving grooves are introduced into the plate simultaneously on opposing regions relative to a central axis of rotation of the plate.

  • Publication number: 20220024609
    Abstract: A method for examining a component with the steps: Determining an actual value of a first parameter of a first characteristic of the component; Determining an actual value of the first parameter of at least one further characteristic of the component; Determining a first statistical characteristic variable of these actual values of the first parameter; and Classifying the component on the basis of the first statistical characteristic variable and the actual values of the first parameter, wherein the component is classified in a predetermined quality class if the first statistical characteristic variable is outside a predetermined first characteristic variable range or at least one of these actual values of the first parameter is outside a predetermined first range of values.
