Abstract: A method for repairing a damaged leading or trailing edge region of a metallic turbine blade, which has a suction-side blade wall, a pressure-side blade wall and a leading edge and a trailing edge, includes: removing the damaged leading or trailing edge region, with a cutout being formed; providing a replacement part which can be inserted in form-fitting fashion into the cutout and which restores the intended geometry of the turbine blade; inserting the replacement part in form-fitting fashion into the cutout in a predetermined insertion direction, and cohesively connecting the replacement part to the turbine blade, wherein mechanical connection of the replacement part and turbine blade using separate fastening elements is performed in addition to the cohesive connection.

Abstract: A turbine blade tip, turbine blade and method where improved cooling is made possible by an improved cooling structure with cooling air holes inside a depression in a blade tip and a special arrangement of multiple cooling air holes which are supplied by a single cooling air channel inside a wall.

Abstract: A method for building structures on existing components includes preparing an auxiliary plate suitable for fastening on the working plate, wherein the auxiliary plate has at least one reference marking, fastening the component on the auxiliary plate, optionally processing the at least one surface to be processed for providing a surface that is substantially parallel to the working plane of the device, measuring the at least one reference marking and the component, wherein the position is recorded, introducing the auxiliary plate with the at least one reference marking and the component into the device and detachably fastening the auxiliary plate on the working plate and processing the component in the device for additive manufacturing by working data on the basis of measuring data. A device and a composite structure for additive manufacturing is used in the method.

Abstract: A continuous flow machine has at least one annular guide vane carrier. The guide vane carrier, formed at least by a lower part and an upper part detachably connected to same, has at least three guide vane stages retained on the inner circumference of the at least one guide vane carrier, arranged axially behind one another in the flow direction and each having a plurality of radially extending guide vanes. Each of the guide vanes also has a guide vane blade, a base plate and a top plate, wherein the guide vane blade extends between the base plate and top plate. Via the arrangement of the securing pin in an intermediate space accessible in the assembled state, a partial disassembly of the individual guide vane stages is possible, independent of the remaining guide vane stages. The guide vane stages are conventionally mounted via retaining protrusions on neighbouring guide vane stages.
