Abstract: A method for reprocessing a turbine blade having at least one platform which due to the action of corrosion is undersized on at least one lateral platform face is provided. According to the method, the target dimension of the platform is restored by applying material to the at least one lateral platform face such that, after the material application, the platform is oversized and then the platform is given the target dimension by machining the at least one lateral platform face. The material application is carried out with the material of an adhesion promoter layer.

Abstract: A metallic solder rod is provided. The solder rod includes a stop-off at the end so that the solder cannot drip from an opening. The solder rod includes an inner region and an outer region which at least partially surrounds the inner region wherein the inner region includes a different alloy than the outer region. A process for applying solder to a hole in a substrate is also provided.

Abstract: Conventional welding methods have the disadvantage of producing worse welded joints at the beginning of the process than in the later course of the method. The method in question uses an initializing plate on which the welding process is begun and then once a consistent quality can be achieved for the welded joint continues onto the points for repair.

Abstract: Coatings which are applied to a component have to be removed again in a complex way in certain regions, since a coating was not desired to be present in those regions. The subsequent removal of this layer adversely affects the component, for example its geometry. The method according to the invention for coating a component includes a masking which at least partially comprises a ceramic powder and can therefore easily be removed after the component has been coated.

Abstract: A small solder rod with a stop-off at the end in order to prevent the solder from dripping from an opening is provided. A process for applying solder to a hole in a substrate, wherein the solder is used in the form of a wire or a small rod is also provided.

Abstract: A method is provided for coating a component with a multilayer ceramic coating in which the individual layers of the ceramic coating are applied covering one another on the component, and in which ceramic particles are supplied to a coating burner, melted partly or completely by the coating burner, and deposited on the component. The ceramic particles have a particle size, which increases from layer to layer, and are supplied to the coating burner. Furthermore, a multilayer ceramic coating and a component which has with a multilayer ceramic coating are provided.

Abstract: Thermosetting powder paint composition and polyester resin which can be used for its manufacture. The invention relates to thermosetting powder paint compositions based on carboxyl group-containing polyester resins as well as polyepoxides and/or ?-hydroxyalkylamides as curing agents. The polyester resins have an acid number of 10 to 100 and a hydroxyl number of at most 15 mg KOH/g polyester resin and consist of at least 50 mol %, with respect to the totality of the dicarboxylic acids contained, of units of isophthalic acid, and of at least 50 mol %, with respect to the totality of the diols contained, of units of neopentyl glycol, and contain a maximum of 10 mol %, with respect to the totality of all dicarboxylic acids and diols, of monomers having a functionality of 3 or greater. Through the addition of 0.05 to 5 wt.

Abstract: A holder for holding a metal component part, which has at least one internal passage which is accessible by an opening in an external surface of the component part. The holder is equipped with a bearing element, which comprises a bearing surface, which is designed in such a way that it allows a seating of the component part on the bearing element, and in this case serves as a support for at least a part of the external surface of the component part which has the opening, and a flow passage, which leads through the bearing element, with at least one outlet opening located in the bearing surface. The outlet opening is located in the bearing surface in such a way that, with the component part seated, it lies opposite the opening of the internal passage. Furthermore, the outlet opening in shape and flow cross section is adapted to the opening of the internal passage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coating system, especially a low pressure plasma coating system, with at least one treatment chamber and a coating tool, especially a plasma spraying device, wherein at least one pump is provided for evacuation of the treatment chamber, which treatment chamber is formed to be temperature controllable. In addition there is a coating method for low pressure plasma coating with a temperature controlled and evacuated treatment chamber, in which a workpiece is coated by means of at least one coating tool. For acceleration of the coating process, especially the evacuating of the treatment chamber, it is proposed that at least the walls of the treatment chamber and/or the inside of the treatment chamber are temperature controlled at a temperature between 45° C. and 75° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a synthetic resin binder for producing powder paint that has admixed with it pyrogenic oxides of silicon, aluminum or titanium, preferably pyrogenic silicic acid, or mixtures thereof with primary particle sizes between 6 and 65 nm, powder paint containing same and coats and coating made therewith.

Abstract: Coatings that are applied to a component have to be removed again from certain areas using costly methods, because coating was not required in those areas. The subsequent removal of this layer can impair the component, for example in terms of its geometry. The inventive method for coating a component uses a mask, which consists at least partially of a ceramic powder and can therefore easily be removed after the component has been coated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for polishing the surface of a gas turbine blade. According to the invention, a metallic anticorrosive layer is polished by using a stream of dry ice whereby preventing the surface from becoming contaminated and obtaining cost advantages.

Abstract: For blocking containers that are moving on a conveyor between parallel guide rails, a rotatable star wheel is positioned adjacent the container path. A locking member selectively locks the star wheel in a neutral position wherein it lies completely outside of the container path and in a blocking position wherein it is rotated to block containers. When the star wheel becomes unlocked at neutral position, a rotary device causes the wheel to rotate sufficiently for one of its arms to project into the container path so the moving containers will force further rotation until the wheel becomes locked automatically in the blocking position.

Abstract: At least one plastic sheeting element which is oriented at least monoaxially and at least in part in a direction which differs appreciably from the longitudinal direction of the sheeting element is twisted to form a string for a ball-striking implement.
