  • Patent number: 11371366
    Abstract: A turbine blade for the rotor of a gas turbine, having a blade airfoil, which has a blade airfoil main body with a first material and a blade airfoil tip with a second material, the second material being more resistant to oxidation than the first material. The composition of the second material is graduated at least in subregions. A method for producing the turbine blade includes: providing a main body of a turbine blade airfoil on a construction platform of a device for performing an additive method, the main body having a first material; applying a pulverous second material, which is different from the first material, in a certain amount; fusing the pulverous material by applying a high-energy beam; lowering the construction platform, repeating applying and fusing the pulverous material and of lowering the construction platform as many times as necessary to complete the tip of the blade airfoil.

  • Patent number: 10215041
    Abstract: A sealing ring segment for a stator of a turbine, the sealing ring segment has substantially the shape of a cylinder casing segment and has on its outer side a groove for fixing a plurality of guide vanes. The sealing ring segment has, for each guide vane that is fixable to the sealing ring segment, at least one pressure bolt that acts on the respective guide vane by a restoring force, the pressure bolt being able to be fixed and accordingly oriented by a corresponding opening in the sealing ring segment and being configured as a cylindrical element which can be compressed in the axial direction, and wherein the respective pressure bolt has a disk spring and the restoring force of the respective pressure bolt acts in the radial direction with respect to the rotation axis of the turbine in which the sealing ring segment is placed.

  • Patent number: 7758309
    Abstract: There is described a vane wheel of a turbine comprising at least one vane, the footing thereof being held on a wheel disk. At least one cooling channel is arranged between the wheel disk and the vane footing. The vane wheel having a plurality of turbulators is embodied on at least one of the walls of the cooling channel, the turbulators being configured in such a way that the turbulence and thus the heat transfer of a cooling fluid flowing through the cooling channel are increased.
