Abstract
The invention relates to a method for connecting at least one turbine blade (10) to a turbine disk (18) or a turbine ring for a turbine stage of a turbomachine, particularly a thermal gas turbine, wherein first a connecting body (16) is formed on the at least one turbine blade (10) by means of a cold gas spraying method, and the connecting body (16) is subsequently connected to turbine disk (18) or to the turbine ring by means of a fusion-welding method. The invention further relates to a turbine stage for a turbine of a turbomachine as well as a turbomachine having a turbine.
Claims6
A method for connecting at least one turbine blade (10) that cannot be fusion welded or can be fusion welded only with great difficulty to a turbine disk (18) that can be fusion welded or a turbine ring that can be fusion welded for a turbine stage of a turbomachine, particularly a thermal gas turbine, in which a geometrically defined connecting body (16) is first formed on the at least one turbine blade (10) by means of a cold gas spraying method and the connecting body (16) is subsequently connected to turbine disk (18) or to the turbine ring by means of a fusion-welding method, wherein connecting body (16) is formed in the region of a blade foot (14) of turbine blade (10) and/or as a blade foot (14) of turbine blade (10) as a function of the geometry of turbine blade (10) and/or of turbine disk (18) or of the turbine ring and is precision-machined prior to the fusion-welding method.
A turbine stage for a turbine of a turbomachine, particularly a thermal gas turbine having a turbine disk (18) or a turbine ring, which is connected to at least one turbine blade (10) at least indirectly,
- is hereby characterized in that
- the at least one turbine blade (10) is connected to turbine disk (18) or to the turbine ring via a geometrically defined connecting body (16) formed on turbine blade (10) by means of a cold gas spraying method, wherein connecting body (16) is formed in the region of a blade foot (14) of turbine blade (10) and/or as a blade foot (14) of turbine blade (10) as a function of the geometry of turbine blade (10) and/or of turbine disk (18) or of the turbine ring, is precision-machined for its connection to turbine disk (18) or to the turbine ring and is connected to turbine disk (18) or to the turbine ring by means of a fusion-welding method.
