HEAT TREATMENT OF AN ALLOY BASED ON TITANIUM ALUMINIDE
The invention relates to a method for the treatment of an alloy based on titanium aluminide. The method comprises the following steps, during which no hot isostatic pressing is carried out: obtaining a semi-finished product (7) produced by centrifugal casting, then heat treating the semi-finished product in order to obtain an alloy microstructure comprising gamma grains and/or lamella grains (alpha2/gamma).
Wind turbine blade with elongated fastening members in the root region thereof
A wind turbine blade for a wind turbine is a shell structure of a fiber-reinforced composite and comprises a root region and an airfoil region. The root region has a ring-shaped cross section and comprises a plurality of elongated bushings 7 with an inner thread 22 and embedded interspaced in the fiber-reinforced polymer so as to substantially follow the circumference of the root region and allow access from the outside to the inner threads. Each fastening member 7 is provided with a notch 60 in the periphery 11 thereof. A rod-shaped locking element 61 passes through the notch 60 in engagement therewith. The locking element 61 is fixedly and tightly fitting arranged in a through-going circular bore 65 extending through the wall of the root region.
