  • Patent number: 9333576
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing and repairing a part comprising at least two joined metal components, especially components of a gas turbine. In said method, corresponding joining surfaces of the components are joined together and connected by means of a pressure welding process, a machining allowance in the area of a joining zone of the two joining surfaces is upset during the joining process, and once the two components have been joined together, the machining allowance is machined by means of a precise electrochemical machining (PECM) process until a predefined final contour of the part has been obtained. The invention further relates to a gas turbine part obtained by means of the disclosed method.

  • Patent number: 9254530
    Abstract: A method for removing material from a component that is connected as an anode is disclosed. In an embodiment, an electrode that is connected as a cathode is guided to the component such that a gap is formed, an electrolyte is introduced into the gap, and a closed system is formed for the electrolyte by the formation of a duct. The electrolyte is continuously guided from an inlet opening to an outlet opening of the duct. Forming the duct, e.g., by guide elements that are mounted on the electrode, ensures that only those surface parts of the component to be machined from which material is to be removed enter in contact with the electrolyte while the other surface parts do not enter in contact with the electrolyte. Since the electrolyte is continuously guided across the surface, used electrolyte is continuously discharged along with residual matter while fresh electrolyte is delivered.
