  • Patent number: 10001012
    Abstract: A turbine wheel (1) of an exhaust-gas turbocharger (2), formed from a titanium aluminide material, having a wheel back (7) which is of closed configuration as viewed from an axial direction (A) and which has an outer contour (17), a hub (3) which extends from the wheel back (7) and which tapers along the axial direction (A), and a multiplicity of turbine blades (4) which extend from the wheel back (7) and from the hub (3) and which blades extend outward in a radial direction (R), as far as a connection region outer diameter (DAB) at least in a connection region (5). The wheel back (7) has, in an outer region (11) adjoining the connection region (5), a wheel back outer diameter (DRR) which is greater than or equal to the connection region outer diameter (DAB).

  • Patent number: 9726020
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas turbocharger (1), having a shaft (2) which has an outer diameter (A2); a turbine wheel (5) which is fastened to the shaft (2); and a connecting device (8) via which the shaft (2) is fastened to the turbine wheel (5). The shaft (2) has, in the region of an end side (3), a shaft shoulder (4) with an outer diameter (A4) larger than the outer diameter (A2) of the shaft (2). The turbine wheel (5) has an external thread portion (7) integrally formed on its wheel rear side (6) The connecting device (8) has a sleeve nut (8A) which is screwed onto the external thread portion (7) and, in a process, engages behind the shaft shoulder (4) in order to brace the shaft (2) against the turbine wheel (5).
