Abstract: A layer system including a substrate and a layer is provided. The layer system has a hole at least in the layer, and wherein at least one recess is present in a surface of the layer in a vicinity around the hole or directly adjoining a boundary line of the hole.

Abstract: A sealing element for sealing a gap between two components, which can thermally move relative to each other and each have two substantially parallel component grooves, wherein the sealing element is directed along a main line and has, in a cross section substantially perpendicular to the main line, a first and second end segment and a middle region arranged between the end segments, to ensure an effective seal in the event of thermal expansions of the components that are comparatively large radially and to reduce thermal stresses and crack formations on the components. A third end segment having substantially the same extension direction as the first end segment is arranged on the middle region in parallel with the first end segment and a fourth end segment having substantially the same extension direction as the second end segment is arranged on the middle region in parallel with the second end segment.

Abstract: A turbomachine rotor, a rotor blade and a method for assembling a turbomachine rotor are provided. The turbomachine rotor includes a rotor blade with a blade root, a wheel disk with a groove in which the blade root engages such that the rotor blade is maintained in the groove in a positive fit in a radial direction. Further, a pretensioning device is provided, which is supported on the wheel disk as well as on the blade root and which exerts a pretensioning force on the blade root in the radial direction. The pretensioning device is designed such that the pretensioning force can be adjusted when assembling the turbomachine rotor.

Abstract: A guide vane for a gas turbine with a vane base body which is of single-piece design and comprises a profiled vane blade extending between a vane root and a cover plate and also the vane root formed integrally with the vane blade and the cover plate formed integrally with the vane blade, is intended, in a relatively simple way to be able to be matched to the individual conditions of use with especially little outlay on apparatus and logistics. For this purpose, according to the invention, a flow-routing body with an advance guide blade that is connected upstream of the vane blade as seen in the direction of flow of the working medium of the gas turbine is joined to the vane base body.

Abstract: A core die is provided. The core die includes a first half and a second half where a cavity is formed between the two. Pins are arranged on the halves and the pins are replaceable. By virtue of the modular inner structure of a core die, the core die may be matched to the desired changes of the core, by small changes, more quickly and more easily than would be the case if the core die had only one part or if the pins were a fixed component of the core die halves.

Abstract: The invention relates to a guide blade segment of a thermal turbomachine, in particular a gas turbine, comprising a number of profiled blades which are arranged on a platform. A plurality of securing elements for securing the guide blade segment to an associated guide blade support are arranged on the side of the platform which is oriented away from the blade. The aim of the invention is to provide a guide blade segment which can be produced in a simple and economical manner avoiding casting problem areas enabling the guide blade segment to be attached in a particularly reliable and secure manner to the associated guide blade support. According to the invention, at least one section of at least one of the securing elements is a separately produced component which is rigidly connected to the platform or to an additional section of the securing element.

Abstract: A turbine blade for a turbine of a thermal power plant, with a platform for partial delimiting of a flow passage in the turbine, wherein the platform has at least one cooling medium passage, which extends inside the platform, for guiding a cooling medium, is characterized according to the invention in that the at least one cooling medium passage emerges from the platform at at least two connecting openings, and the turbine blade has at least one supplementary component which can be fastened on the platform, with a communicating passage, which is designed for interconnecting the connecting openings in a fluid-guiding manner.

Abstract: A turbine blade with an aerodynamically profiled blade leaf which is produced from two assembled shell elements is provided. The shell elements forming the suction-side and the pressure-side blade leaf wall have been assembled by a high-temperature and high-pressure bonding process. In the region of the blade leaf tip, a cramp is provided which hooks the two blade walls together with one another with a form fit.

Abstract: There is described a turbine blade with an aerodynamically profiled blade leaf which is produced from two assembled shell elements. The shell elements forming the suction-side and the pressure-side blade leaf wall have been assembled by means of a high-temperature high-pressure bonding process and, under certain circumstances, may come apart at the blade tip. In order to prevent this, in the region of the blade leaf tip, a cramp is provided which hooks the two blade walls together with one another with a form fit.
