  • Publication number: 20200003309
    Abstract: A seal carrier for a turbomachine for sealing a gap between a stator section and a rotor section, having a base body, which is provided on one side with a run-in coating; the base body at least having one hollow space, which is open via at least one opening to the run-in coating, creating a Helmholtz resonator; the area of the run-in coating, which is provided with the at least one opening, providing the oscillating mass of the Helmholtz resonator, and the at least one hollow space, the spring volume thereof.

  • Publication number: 20170341175
    Abstract: A method for additively manufacturing at least a portion of a component, in particular a component of a turbomachine. The method includes the following steps: a) depositing at least one powder layer of a component material in powder form layer by layer onto a component platform in the region of a buildup and joining zone; b) locally solidifying the powder layer by selectively irradiating the same using at least one high-energy beam in the region of the buildup and joining zone, forming a component layer; c) lowering the component platform by a predefined layer thickness; and d) repeating steps a) through c) until completion of the component portion or of the component.

  • Publication number: 20150290712
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for material processing with a high-energy beam (7), with a beam-generating device (4) for generating a high-energy beam and with a component holder (2), in which is disposed the material that is to be processed with the high-energy beam, wherein the beam-generating device and the component holder are disposed or can be disposed relative to one another so that the high-energy beam impinges on the material surface (12) of the material to be processed at an angle not equal to 0° or 180° or a whole-number multiple thereof, and wherein the beam-generating device or at least parts thereof and/or another beam-generating device can be disposed, and/or that the beam-generating device comprises a deflection means (5, 6), so that a high-energy beam (7a) can be aligned parallel to and at a distance from the material surface (12) to be processed.
