Abstract: A gas turbine has blades. A blade may have a leading edge; a trailing edge; a pressure side and a suction side, which extend between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The blade has, along the leading edge, a leading edge profile with profile portions, each of which, along its profile portion length, transitioning, proceeding from a depression, into an elevation via a first transition portion and back into a next depression via a second transition portion. An apex of the elevation of a profile portion is arranged in an asymmetric manner in relation to the profile portion length, in such a way that the first transition portion has a first transition length and the second transition portion has a second transition length. The first transition length and the second transition length are different lengths.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing an insulation element (12), which can be arranged radially above at least one guide vane (14) in a housing (10) of a thermal gas turbine. The insulation element (12) is produced from a solid body (24) provided with a metallic shell (26), the solid body (24) consisting at least partially of a ceramic material. The invention also relates to an insulation element (12), which can be arranged radially above at least one guide vane (14) in a housing (10) of a thermal gas turbine, and to an aero engine having a housing (10), in which at least one insulation element (12) is arranged radially above at least one guide vane (14).

Abstract: Disclosed are a turbomachine having at least one radial gap seal which has at least two opposite ceramic coatings which are constructed in each case from a ceramic powder, the particle size of which is smaller than 1.0 ?m, and a turbomachine having at least one radial gap seal, wherein the coatings are built up from powder-based individual layers, the outer layer of which has a higher ceramic fraction than a base layer close to the rotor or stator section respectively, wherein the particle size of the powder material is smaller than 1.0 ?m.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing cage of a bearing means, in particular a ball or roller bearing, which is produced by means of a generative manufacturing method and has an outer flange and a bearing seat, which are joined together via a plurality of spring beams.
