Abstract

The use of a polymer coating in the carrying flank region minimizes damages. Moreover, a long-term separating effect between the components, e.g. rotor blade and rotor disk, is ensured. According to the embodiments, the rotor disk groove can alternatively also be coated in whole or in part.

Claims (23)

1. A gas turbine blade or compressor blade comprising:

a blade root having two pressure face flank regions configured to contact a slot region of a rotor disk when the blade root is inserted therein;

wherein only the two pressure face regions have a polymer coating based on perfluoroethylenepropylene applied at least partially thereto, and wherein the polymer coating includes one or more solid lubricants embedded in a matrix of the polymer coating, and wherein the polymer coating is configured to prevent cold welding over the entire service life of the rotor.

2. The gas turbine blade or the compressor blade as claimed in claim 1 , in which the polymer coating is present on an entire blade root region and not on an end face of the blade root.

3. The gas turbine blade or the compressor blade as claimed in claim 1 , in which the polymer coating extends over an entire axial length of the pressure face flank region.

4. The gas turbine blade or the compressor blade as claimed in claim 1 , in which the polymer coating is a fluoropolymer.

5. The gas turbine blade or the compressor blade as claimed in claim 1 , in which the polymer coating on the gas turbine blade or the compressor blade contains one or more solid lubricants.

6. The gas turbine blade or the compressor blade as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polymer coating is configured to reduce or prevent fretting and fretting fatigue between the blade root and a rotor disk.

7. The gas turbine blade or the compressor blade as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polymer coating is configured to prevent adhering of the blade root to the rotor disk over the entire service life of the compressor blade.

8. The gas turbine blade or compressor blade of claim 1 , wherein the polymer coating is configured to reduce the input of energy due to relative movement between the blade root and the slot region of the rotor disk.

9. The gas turbine blade or compressor blade of claim 1 , wherein the polymer coating is further configured to prevent damage during removal of the blade root from the slot region of the rotor disk.

10. A rotor comprising:

a rotor disk having a slot region; and

a turbine blade or compressor blade having a blade root with at least one pressure face flank region and,

wherein the rotor has a polymer coating based on perfluoroethylenepropylene in the slot region of the rotor disk or of the turbine blade or the compressor blade, wherein the polymer coating is applied only at the at least one pressure face flank region or an portion of the slot region that contacts the at least one pressure face flank region, and wherein the polymer coating includes one or more solid lubricants embedded in a matrix of the polymer coating, and wherein the polymer coating is configured to prevent cold welding over the entire service life of the rotor.

11. The rotor as claimed in claim 10 , in which the polymer coating is present on the slot region of the rotor disk.

12. The rotor as claimed in claim 10 , in which the polymer coating is present only in the slot region and only on the rotor disk.

13. The rotor as claimed in claim 10 , in which the polymer coating extends over an entire axial length of the slot region.

14. The rotor as claimed in claim 10 , in which a polymer in the polymer coating is a fluoropolymer.

15. The rotor as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the polymer coating is configured to reduce or prevent fretting and fretting fatigue between the blade root and the rotor disk.

16. The rotor as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the polymer coating is configured to prevent adhering between of the rotor disk to the turbine blade or the compressor blade over the entire service life of the turbine blade or compressor blade.

17. The rotor as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the polymer coating is configured to reduce the input of energy due to relative movement between the blade root and the slot region of the rotor disk.

18. The rotor as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the polymer coating is configured to reduce the input of energy due to relative movement between the blade root and the slot region of the rotor disk.
