The invention relates to a method for repairing flow channel segments of a turbomachine. The method comprises providing a monocrystalline or directionally solidified flow channel segment whose length and width extend along the flow channel, each being greater than the thickness thereof, and whose width and length delimit a surface which constitutes a bounding surface of a flow channel and has damage, cleaning the bounding surface to remove impurities, remelting at least a part of the bounding surface in a surface region so that melted material solidifies epitaxially in an inner region facing toward the unmelted material and forms a structural region in which the monocrystalline or directionally solidified structure is preserved, and that melted material solidifies in a polycrystalline fashion in an outer region which faces toward the flow channel and forms an edge region, and removing the edge region.

The present invention relates to an impulse body module group with at least two impulse body modules, which, in particular, are identical in construction, for a gas turbine blade, wherein each of the impulse body modules comprises a housing, which, in particular, is of one piece and which has a first cavity, which is closed, in particular in an airtight manner, by a first cover, which is joined to the housing, in particular in a material-bonded manner, and in which a single, in particular spherical or cylindrical, first impulse body is accommodated with play of movement in at least one first direction of impact, wherein the housing has no additional cavity or a single additional cavity, in which a single, in particular spherical or cylindrical, additional impulse body is accommodated with play of movement in at least one direction of impact.

A turbomachine rotor having a radially inner hub element, a radially outer cover element, and rotor blades which extend between the hub element and the cover element and have rotor blade airfoils. The rotor blades are an integral component of the hub element and are bonded to the cover element according to a first alternative or are an integral component of the cover element and are bonded to the hub element according to a second alternative. The rotor blades have an integral socket adjacently to the cover element according to the first alternative or adjacently to the hub element according to the second alternative, and the rotor blades are bonded to the cover element according to the first alternative or to the hub element according to the second alternative via the socket.

Disclosed is a turbocharger for an internal combustion engine, having a bearing housing. A turbocharger rotor is mounted to be rotatable in the bearing housing about the rotor axis of rotation of its rotor shaft, wherein a turbine wheel is arranged for conjoint rotation on the rotor shaft and in a turbine housing fixed on the bearing housing. Between the rotor shaft and the bearing housing, an oil seal for sealing the bearing housing with respect to the turbine housing is arranged between the turbine wheel and a radial bearing associated with the turbine wheel in order to seal the bearing housing with respect to the turbine housing. A predetermined breaking point is formed for the turbocharger rotor of the turbocharger which lies in a breaking point region and extends axially between the turbine wheel back and an axial end, facing the turbine wheel back, of the rotor-shaft oil seal.

A turbine wheel consists of a first shroud component and a second bladed disc component. The shroud component comprises a shroud structure, a hub structure and a spoke formed integrally therewith and extending between the shroud structure and the hub structure. The bladed disc component comprises a hub member having inner and outer rims, turbine blades disposed on the outer rim, and at least one receiving zone for receiving the spoke, said at least one receiving zone extending radially between the inner and outer rims. The shroud component and the bladed disc component are connected and thus provide the turbine wheel with a shrouded portion. A shrouded turbine wheel can therefore be conveniently assembled starting from at least two components. Further, these components have simplified geometries for easy manufacture, for example using a casting technique, while the overall mechanical performance of the turbine is preserved or improved.

A portable jig and fixture having at least one base plate, a column assembly removably coupled to the at least one base plate, a slide assembly removably coupled to the column assembly, a power feed head removably coupled to the slide assembly, and a spindle unit removably coupled with the slide assembly having a motor removably engaged it. At least one cutter assembly is removably engaged with the spindle unit and at least one drill jig is also removably engaged with the spindle unit. Also, a turbomachine having complementary structure on the compressor discharge casing can engage with the at least one base plate alignment mounting structure on the portable jig and fixture.

A seal arrangement may comprise a seal comprising an outer ring, a shoe, and an arm extending between the shoe and the outer ring, wherein the shoe moves relative to the outer ring via the arm, a seal ring adjacent the seal, and a support plate disposed between the seal and the seal ring, wherein the support plate moves together with the shoe in a radial direction relative to the seal ring.

The present disclosure relates to a composite panel having a sandwich structure formed by a central core having a primary cellular structure, for example, of the honeycomb type, sandwiched between two skins. The primary cellular structure includes an array of main cells. The composite panel further includes a plurality of pins, each pin being, on the one hand, arranged to be housed and to cooperate inside a main cell and, on the other hand, formed of a secondary cellular structure having an array of secondary cells.

The present invention relates to an impulse body module group with at least two impulse body modules, which, in particular, are identical in construction, for a gas turbine blade, wherein each of the impulse body modules comprises a housing, which, in particular, is of one piece and which has a first cavity, which is closed, in particular in an airtight manner, by a first cover, which is joined to the housing, in particular in a material-bonded manner, and in which a single, in particular spherical or cylindrical, first impulse body is accommodated with play of movement in at least one first direction of impact, wherein the housing has no additional cavity or a single additional cavity, in which a single, in particular spherical or cylindrical, additional impulse body is accommodated with play of movement in at least one direction of impact.

Provided is a part and to the filling, layer by layer, of a defective spot by means of solder and parent metal. Because a defective spot is filled layer by layer, good mechanical properties are obtained for the defective spot and the entire part.
