Disclosed is a blade element of a turbomachine, in particular of a gas turbine, which comprises a fastening element (10) with which the blade element is arranged in a receptacle (11) of the turbomachine. in the region of the fastening element, the blade element has a core region (18) and an envelope region (19) which at least partially envelops the core region. The core region is formed from a blade base material which is more brittle than the envelope material of the envelope region, and the envelope region is formed by a coating. The envelope material is a blade base material which has been modified to achieve a higher ductility or is a pseudoelastic or superelastic material.

The present invention provides a stator component of a vacuum pump, which is suitable for reducing the fracture energy (energy of fracture that occurs when a rotor of the pump is damaged during its rotation) and the size of the pump, and also provides a vacuum pump having this stator component. In the vacuum pump, a spacer or of a thread groove pump stator, which is a stator component forms a gap satisfying the following <<condition>> between an outer circumferential surface of each of housed in a pump case of the vacuum pump, and an inner circumferential surface of the pump case, with the stator component being housed in the pump case. <<Condition>> 2d/D.sub.max, where D is the outer diameter of the stator component (spacer or thread groove pump stator), d is the width of the gap, and .sub.max is the breaking elongation of the stator component.

The present invention provides a shaped component for a compressor wheel that can be used to manufacture a turbo compressor wheel which is excellent in terms of high-temperature strength, rigidity, and dynamic balance and, furthermore, has optimal performance suitable for diverse required characteristics in individual portions. In the shaped component for an aluminum alloy turbo compressor wheel of the present invention, a continuous casting rod-shaped material having a small diameter or a forging-completed material obtained by carrying out hot closed die forging on the continuous casting rod-shaped material having a small diameter is used as a material, and the continuous casting rod-shaped material or the forging-completed material has a structure in which the average numbers of grain boundaries intersected in a circumferential direction on a transverse section orthogonal to a casting direction and a forging direction are minimized in a central portion and are maximized in an outer circumferential portion, and the casting direction and the forging direction of the material are along a rotational center axis line direction of a compressor wheel.

A turbine nozzle includes an arcuate inner band having opposed flowpath and back sides, and an aft flange extending outward from the back side; an arcuate outer band having opposed flowpath and back sides; an airfoil-shaped turbine vane extending between the flowpath sides of the inner and outer bands, wherein the inner and outer bands and the vane comprise a ceramic low-ductility material; and a metallic collar surrounding the aft flange.

The invention relates to a fluid pump, in particular to a liquid pump having a rotor with at last one rotor blade for conveying the fluid, the rotor being variable with respect to its diameter between a first, compressed state and a second expanded state. In order to produce a simple compressibility and expandability of the rotor of the pump, it is provided according to the invention that at least one rotor blade is deformable between a first state which it assumes in the compressed state of the rotor and a second state which it assumes in the expanded state of the rotor by means of a fluid counterpressure during a rotation of the rotor during pump operation.

An object is to provide a sheet-metal turbine housing reinforced by a readily-manufacturable structure, the sheet-metal turbine housing also having a small thickness and improved containment performance. A sheet-metal turbine housing includes: a scroll part forming an exhaust gas channel of a scroll shape in a turbocharger for driving a turbine with exhaust gas of an engine, the scroll part comprising sheet metal; and at least one rib portion of a protrusion shape formed on an outer wall surface of the scroll part at a radially outer side of an inlet edge of a turbine blade along a circumferential direction of the scroll part, the at least one rib portion protruding either outward or inward, or both, and including a bend and bend-back structure formed on the sheet metal forming the scroll part.

The invention relates to comprising a blade body (9) made of composite material having a polymer matrix reinforced by fibers and a leading edge shield (10) made of material having greater ability to withstand point impacts than the composite material of the blade body. The leading edge shield (10) is assembled on the blade body (9) by means of a first adhesive (16) and a second adhesive (17), both adhesives (16, 17) being deposited between the blade body (9) and the leading edge shield (10). Both adhesives (16, 17) form respective continuous films between the blade body (9) and the leading edge shield (10).
