Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A turbine according to an embodiment includes: a formation object member; a facing member; and a seal part. A formation object member is one of a static part and a rotation part. A facing member is the other of the static part and the rotation part. A seal part at the formation object member is configured to reduce combustion gas leaking between the formation object member and the facing member. The seal part including a ceramics layer. The ceramics layer has a heat conductivity lower than that of the formation object member, and has a concave and convex shape at a surface thereof. The ceramics layer is not in contact with the facing member, or has hardness higher than that of the facing member so that the facing member is preferentially abraded when the facing member and the ceramics layer are in contact with each other.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A turbine, comprising: a formation object member being one of a static part and a rotation part; a facing member being the other of the static part and the rotation part; a seal part at the formation object member configured to reduce combustion gas leaking between the formation object member and the facing member, the seal part including a ceramics layer; and convex parts between the formation object member and the seal part, the convex parts being made of a high-melting point material of which melting point is higher than that of the formation object member, the ceramics layer having a heat conductivity lower than that of the formation object member, and having a concave and convex shape at a surface thereof, the concave and convex shape forming slits and sealing the turbine together with the facing member, and the ceramics layer being not in contact with the facing member and having a hardness that is the same, higher, or lower than a hardness of the facing member, or the ceramics layer being in contact with the facing member and having a hardness that is higher than that of the facing member so that the facing member is preferentially abraded when the facing member and the ceramics layer are in contact with each other, wherein the seal part includes a metal layer and the ceramics layer on the metal layer, the metal layer including a concentration of chromium or aluminum higher than the formation object member. 2. The turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the formation object member is a rotor blade. 3. The turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the formation object member is a shroud segment. 4. The turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramics layer consist of oxide ceramics. 5. The turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramics layer having a porosity of 10% or less. 6. The turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the formation object member includes convex parts of a composing material of the formation object member at a surface thereof. 7. The turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the turbine is a carbon dioxide turbine. 8. A power generating system, comprising: a turbine according to claim 1 ; and a power generator connected to the turbine. 9. A turbine, comprising: a static part; a rotation part; and a labyrinth seal part configured to reduce combustion gas leaking between the static part and the rotation part, the labyrinth seal part including: a bond coating layer coating the static part, a heat-insulating coating layer coating the bond coating layer, and a ceramic member inserted into the static part via the heat-insulating coating layer and the bond coating layer, wherein the ceramic member is configured as a fin. 10. The turbine according to claim 9 , further comprising: a groove provided at the static part, wherein the ceramic member includes a block material incorporated in the groove. 11. The turbine according to claim 9 , wherein the turbine is a carbon dioxide turbine in which the rotation part is rotated by combustion gas including carbon dioxide. 12. A power generating system, comprising: a turbine according to claim 9 ; and a power generator connected to the turbine.
