Abstract

Claims (24)

1. A blisk, the blisk comprising:

at least one blade comprising a blade airfoil and a blade root;

a platform, the blade being integrally attached to the platform; and

a fillet arranged on the blade root and between the blade airfoil and the platform,

wherein the fillet merges into the blade at a blade connection,

wherein the fillet merges into the platform at a platform connection,

wherein the fillet extends with a longitudinal extent around the blade root and a transverse extent from the platform to the blade airfoil,

wherein the fillet has a variable radius along the transverse extent, and

wherein the variable radius has, at least in a first section of the fillet, a minimum radius which, at least in the first section, is spaced apart from the platform by at least 30% of the transverse extent along the transverse extent of the fillet.

2. The blisk according to claim 1 , wherein the minimum radius along the transverse extent of the fillet is spaced from the blade by at least 30% of the transverse extent.

3. The blisk according to claim 1 , wherein the fillet is completely concave along its transverse extent at least in the first section.

4. The blisk according to claim 1 , wherein the minimum radius at least in the first section is 5 mm or less.

5. The blisk according to claim 1 , wherein the variable radius has, at least in the first section, a maximum radius on the blade airfoil or on the platform, and wherein the variable radius has a monotonically decreasing progression between the maximum radius and the minimum radius.

6. The blisk according to claim 1 , wherein, at least in the first section, a ratio of a maximum radius to the minimum radius on the blade airfoil or on the platform is at least 1.5.

7. The blisk according to claim 5 , wherein the blade further comprises a blade chord extending from a leading edge to a trailing edge, wherein a ratio of the maximum radius at the blade airfoil or at the platform to the minimum radius is maximum at a maximum point of the fillet, which is located between 30% and 70% of a blade chord.

8. The blisk according to claim 5 , wherein the fillet has a second section spaced from the first section along the longitudinal extent or adjacent to the first section along the longitudinal extent, and wherein at least in the second section a ratio of a maximum radius to the minimum radius on the blade airfoil or on the platform is at most 1.5.

9. The blisk according to claim 1 , wherein the first section extends from a leading edge to a trailing edge of the blade.

10. The blisk according to claim 1 , wherein the first section is arranged on a pressure side or a suction side of the blade.

11. The blisk according to claim 9 , wherein the first section is arranged on the suction side of the blade and the second section is arranged on the pressure side of the blade.

12. The blisk according to claim 1 , wherein the blisk is a compressor blisk for a gas turbine.

13. The blisk according to claim 1 , wherein the variable radius has, at least in the first section of the fillet, a maximum radius at each end of the transverse extent.

14. The blisk according to claim 13 , wherein the fillet is concave about the minimum radius over the entire longitudinal extent.

15. The blisk according to claim 14 , wherein, in the longitudinal extent of the fillet, the minimum radius is spaced from a leading edge of the blade by at least 5% of the longitudinal extent of the fillet.

16. The blisk according to claim 14 , wherein, in the longitudinal extent of the filet, the minimum radius is spaced from a trailing edge of the blade by at least 10% of the longitudinal extent of the fillet.
