  • Publication number: 20230279777
    Abstract: The invention relates to a blisk segment for a gas turbine, comprising at least one first blade having an airfoil, a leading edge, a trailing edge, a blade root, a suction side and a pressure side, a pedestal, and a first fillet having a device for influencing crack growth. The robustness of the gas turbine is improved in accordance with the invention in that, at the leading edge of the first blade, at least on the first fillet, a first surface structure is arranged and interacts with the crack-influencing device for influencing crack growth and for flow influencing.

  • Publication number: 20230160306
    Abstract: A blade has an internal blade profile, and a jet deflection portion adjoining the internal blade profile. Each blade profile of the jet deflection portion has a center of gravity. The centers of gravity are joined by a thread line, which is a space line, starting from the internal blade profile. A total deviation of the space line in relation to the reference line is described by an nth order polynomial based on radial distance from the blade profile to a reference point. The thread line is selected and designed such that a compressive stress is produced in the region of the leading edge of the blade during operation.

  • Publication number: 20230070018
    Abstract: The invention relates to an airfoil for a compressor of a turbomachine, which extends starting from a blade root between a leading edge and a trailing edge to a blade tip, wherein the leading edge has a leading-edge thickness and the airfoil has a maximum profile thickness, the ratio of which to each other represents a relative leading-edge thickness, and the airfoil has a leading-edge wedge angle.
