Abstract: Described is a cooled gas turbine guide blade for a gas turbine, with a hollow blade profile which comprises an onflow edge onto which a working medium is capable of flowing, and with, for guiding a cooling medium, an onflow edge duct running inside the blade profile along the onflow edge. Furthemore, to the use of such a gas turbine guide blade and to a method for operating a gas turbine with an abovementioned gas turbine guide blade. In order to provide a gas turbine guide blade with an increased lifetime by means of the invention, it is proposed that, in the onflow edge duct, an electrical heating element be provided, which extends approximately completely over the entire length of the onflow edge duct and through which a heating current flows, before the operation of the gas turbine, for the preheating of the gas turbine guide blade.

Abstract: The invention refers to a coated turbine blade for a gas turbine, having blade walls divided into sections with locally adapted material temperatures. The cooler material temperatures of the blade walls are at the points where the support ribs merge into the blade walls. The regions with higher material temperatures of the blade walls are at the positions where cavities are arranged inside the blade walls. This is achieved via a ceramic thermal barrier coating having different layer thicknesses that allow different material temperatures. The region of the surface of the blade wall which faces the working medium and lies opposite an internal rib has a thicker thermal barrier coating than a region of the surface of the blade wall which is cooled via a cooling medium that flows in the cavities. This results in homogenization of the material temperature in the connecting regions, which results in prolonged blade life.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotating blade for a turbomachine which can be cross flown by a flow medium, especially for a gas turbine which can be cross flown by a working fluid. The gas turbine comprises a rotating blade base, a platform region which extends in a perpendicular manner thereto and a curved blade profile all of which are arranged in a successive manner. The blade profile extends from a front edge, against which a liquid can flow, to a rear edge between which a suction side and a pressure side of the blade profile are formed by means of a relief slot comprising a longitudinal extension in the blade profile.

Abstract: There is described a turbine blade, with a platform and with an aerodynamically profiled blade leaf which extends transversely thereto and which comprises a suction-side blade leaf wall and a pressure-side blade leaf wall which extend from an inflow-side leading edge to an outflow-side trailing edge, with respect to a hot gas flowable along the platform or the blade leaf walls during operation, the platform and/or one of the two blade leaf walls having at least two adjacent regions. To prolong the service life of the turbine blade by equalizing the thermal stresses arising there during operation, the two regions have different heat transfer coefficients on the hot-gas side.

Abstract: According to a prior art, components having a crack are repaired, wherein the thus produced elongated recess is filled with a solder material which nevertheless produces a weak point. The inventive component, in addition to the material filled recess, comprises an additional material filled recess which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cavity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hollow turbine blade, having an airfoil profile which is formed by a suction-side profile wall and a pressure-side profile wall and around which a hot gas can flow and which has a profile height, directed along a blade axis, from a platform up to a profile tip, having at least one supporting rib which is provided in the interior of the turbine blade and connects the pressure-side profile wall to the suction-side profile wall in a respective connecting region, and having at least one slot provided in the profile wall on the hot-gas side and extending along the blade axis. In order to specify a turbine having an especially long service life, it is proposed that the slot, on the hot-gas side in the profile wall, be opposite the connecting region formed by the supporting rib and the profile wall.
