Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of gas turbine blades, and relates to coating or repairing a protective layer or a protective layer system on the gas turbine blades. Background technique

[0002] For example US 4321310, US 4676994 or US 5238752 disclose some protective coating systems on gas turbine blades. Gas turbine blades are subjected to very high temperatures. In order to have the necessary high-temperature strength, they are made of high-temperature-resistant materials. In particular nickel- or cobalt-based superalloys are considered. Usually, a protective layer or a protective layer system is also applied to the base body of such gas turbine blades for protection against oxidation, corrosion and / or for thermal insulation. Particularly suitable here are metal alloys of the type MCrAlY, in which M is an element of the group (Fe, Co, Ni), Cr is chromium, Al is aluminum, and Y is yttrium or a rare earth element. Such an anti-corrosion layer ...

Embodiment Construction

[0031] figure 1An apparatus 15 for removing ceramic material from the surface of a gas turbine blade 20 is shown. In order to generate the compressed air flow, a screw compressor 1 , an equalization tank 2 , an adsorption dryer 3 , a cooler 4 and a measuring system 5 are connected in series. In the screw compressor 1 the air is highly compressed, in particular to a pressure of 3 to 12 bar. Balance tank 2 is used to stabilize a constant mass flow. The air is dried in the adsorption dryer 3 and cooled in the cooler 4 . The measuring system 5 is used to detect compressed air parameters.

[0032] The compressed gas flow is then fed into a pellet supply device 12 . Dry ice pellets 6 are stored in the pellet supply device 2 . The dry ice pellets 6 are fed by means of a screw conveyor 7 via an impeller lock 8 into the compressed air flow and together with the compressed air flow are supplied to a Rafal nozzle 10 which is moved by a robot 9 . There they are discharged as dry ice...
