20140237821 | TURBOMACHINE BLADE PRODUCTION METHOD - A method of producing a turbomachine blade having a coupling root, and an airfoil-shaped oblong member cantilevered from the coupling root; the airfoil-shaped oblong member having a main plate-like element connected directly to the coupling root, and a cover plate for sealing a hollow weight-reducing seat formed in one of the two major faces of the main plate-like element; the main plate-like element being divided into a lower connecting fin cantilevered from the coupling root, and a plate-like body butt welded to the lower connecting fin to form an extension of the lower connecting fin; the method being characterized by including the steps of twisting and curving a flat plate of constant thickness greater than the maximum thickness of the plate-like body of the blade, to obtain a blank plate, in which the three-dimensional shape of the centerline surface of the blank plate substantially matches the three-dimensional shape of the centerline surface of the plate-like body of the main plate-like element. | 08-28-2014 |
20140241891 | TURBOMACHINE BLADE AND RELATIVE PRODUCTION METHOD - A turbomachine blade having a metal coupling root, and a metal airfoil-shaped oblong member cantilevered from the coupling root; the airfoil-shaped oblong member being divided into: a lower connecting fin cantilevered from and formed in one piece with the coupling root; an upper connecting fin cantilevered from a coupling head towards the coupling root and formed in one piece with the coupling head; and a main plate-like body which is shaped and positioned between the two connecting fins to form an extension of the fins, and is butt-welded to the same connecting fins to form one piece with the fins. | 08-28-2014 |
20140241892 | TURBOMACHINE BLADE AND RELATIVE PRODUCTION METHOD - A turbomachine blade of the type having a metal lower coupling root, a metal upper coupling head, and a metal airfoil-shaped oblong member designed to connect the coupling root rigidly to the coupling head; the airfoil-shaped oblong member having a substantially airfoil-shaped main plate-like element connected to the coupling root and to the coupling head, and which is divided into: a lower connecting fin cantilevered from and formed in one piece with the coupling root; an upper connecting fin cantilevered from and formed in one piece with the coupling head; and a center plate-like body, which is located between the lower and upper connecting fins, is shaped/designed to form an extension of the lower and upper connecting fins, and is butt-welded to, to form one piece with, the lower and upper connecting fins. | 08-28-2014 |
