Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A blade element of a turbomachine, wherein the blade element comprises a fastening element with which the blade element is arranged in a receptacle of the turbomachine and comprises, in a region of the fastening element, a core region and an envelope region which at least partially envelops the core region, the core region being formed of a blade base material which is more brittle than an envelope material of the envelope region and the envelope region being formed by a coating, and wherein the envelope material is the blade base material which has been modified to achieve a higher ductility or is a pseudoelastic or superelastic material. 2. The blade element of claim 1 , wherein the envelope material is formed by a pseudoelastic or superelastic alloy based on Co—Ni—Al, Co—Ni—Ga, Al—Ni—Co or Ni—Mn—Ga. 3. The blade element of claim 2 , wherein the envelope material is formed by Ni 2 MnGa. 4. The blade element of claim 3 , wherein a wear-resistant layer is applied to the envelope region. 5. The blade element of claim 4 , wherein the wear-resistant layer comprises Ti60(Mn,Fe,Cr)25Si5O10. 6. The blade element of claim 4 , wherein the wear-resistant layer comprises Ti45Zr38Ni17. 7. The blade element of claim 4 , wherein the wear-resistant layer comprises Al35Ni20Co20. 8. The blade element of 2 , wherein the envelope material is formed by Al35Ni20Co20. 9. The blade element of claim 8 , wherein a wear-resistant layer is applied to the envelope region. 10. The blade element of claim 9 , wherein the wear-resistant layer comprises Ti60(Mn,Fe,Cr)25Si5O10. 11. The blade element of claim 9 , wherein the wear-resistant layer comprises Ti45Zr38Ni17. 12. The blade element of claim 9 , wherein the wear-resistant layer comprises Al35Ni20Co20. 13. The blade element of claim 1 , wherein a wear-resistant layer is applied to the envelope region. 14. The blade element of claim 13 , wherein the wear-resistant layer is formed by a pseudoelastic or superelastic alloy or by a material based on quasi-crystals. 15. The blade element of claim 13 , wherein the wear-resistant layer comprises Ti60(Mn,Fe,Cr)25Si5O10. 16. The blade element of claim 13 , wherein the wear-resistant layer comprises Ti45Zr38Ni17. 17. The blade element of claim 13 , wherein the wear-resistant layer comprises Al35Ni20Co20. 18. The blade element of claim 1 , wherein the envelope region has a porous form. 19. The blade element of claim 1 , wherein the envelope region has a compact form. 20. The blade element of claim 1 , wherein the fastening element is a blade root and the receptacle is a blade root receptacle.
