  • Patent number: 9333589
    Abstract: A component, in particular a component of a gas turbine, is described composed of at least two metallic structural elements, the first structural element having a first joining surface, and the second structural element having a second joining surface, and the structural elements being joined via their joining surfaces by an inductive high-frequency pressure welding. One of the joining surfaces is shaped to widen peripherally in comparison to the other joining surface, and an upsetting deformation produced in a join region in response to the joining of the structural elements rests virtually entirely within and, in particular, on a peripheral collar formed by the peripheral widening of the one joining surface. A method is described for joining metallic structural elements, in particular structural elements of a gas turbine, an inductive high-frequency pressure welding being used to join corresponding joining surfaces of the structural elements.

  • Publication number: 20150246481
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for additive manufacturing of components, in particular for manufacturing components for turbomachines, where the component is at least partially built up layer by layer on a substrate or a previously produced part of the component, and where layer-by-layer build-up is performed by layerwise melting of powder material using a high-energy beam and solidification of the molten powder is provided. The high-energy beam moves along a path across the powder material and produces a melting region at the front of the path. A solidification region forms subsequently in the path. In the solidification region, the temperature distribution is temporally and/or locally selected in such a way that residual compressive stresses are produced in the solidified or solidifying powder material.
