A guide vane ring which is divided into an upper and into a lower guide vane ring half, with an inner ring which is split at least in two, has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and forms a radially outwardly open flow duct which extends in the circumferential direction and is delimited by way of an inner ring bottom wall and two inner ring side walls, and with a multiplicity of vane platforms which receive guide vanes, are arranged along the outer circumference of the inner ring, and have holding webs which in each case project radially inwards, are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction, and engage around the inner ring side walls from the outside, wherein wear elements are inserted into gaps which are present between holding webs and directly adjacently arranged inner ring side walls.

A turbine blade having an internally cooled turbine blade airfoil in which a hollow space is divided by rib elements into at least one cooling duct carrying a coolant, wherein in at least one of the rib elements a separating tear initiating device for producing a separating tear is disposed, which extends at least partially in the longitudinal direction of the at least one rib element.

Turbine blade and turbine

A turbine blade, including: an airfoil and a platform, which has an upper face on which the airfoil is arranged; and at least one lateral face, the lateral face including a slot for insertion of a sealing strip. The transition between the upper face of the platform and the at least one lateral face includes a stepped portion and a beveled portion is provided.

Turbine blade or vane having a stepped and beveled platform edge

A gas turbine includes an insert element for fastening to a ring segment body of a turbine of the gas turbine. The ring segment body has a recess on a hot gas side. The insert element is designed to cover the recess. The insert element includes a cover plate, which has a concavely shaped front side and a back side, and at least one foot arranged on the back side for positioning on the ring segment body. A mounting method includes mounting the insert element where the insert element is fixed to a recess of a ring segment body of a turbine of a gas turbine.

Gas turbine and mounting method

An insert element fastens to an annular segment body of a turbine of a gas turbine. The annular segment body has a recess on a hot-gas side. The insert element is designed to cover the recess and has a concave front side and a rear side having at least one shaped portion for positioning on the annular segment body. An annular segment has the insert element, a gas turbine has the insert element, and a mounting method mounts the insert element.

A turbine guide vane having an aerodynamically bent vane airfoil with a channel system equipped with a throttle element is provided herein. The channel system includes channel sections for the guidance of coolant. In order to provide an alternative turbine guide vane by means of which both a partial coolant flow flowing in the interior and a partial coolant flow guided out of the turbine guide vane are adjustable; therefore, in an embodiment, the throttle element is designed for the removal of coolant.

Turbine guide vane with a throttle element

A turbine rotor blade is provided with a blade root, platform adjoining it, and turbine blade on that side of the platform which faces away from the blade root, with at least one opening for feeding coolant into the turbine rotor blade interior on an underside of the blade root, which opening merges into a coolant duct. An axial rotor section for a rotor is provided, having an outer circumferential surface adjoining two end-side first side surfaces with rotor blade holding grooves distributed over the circumference and extending along an axial direction, wherein a turbine rotor blade is arranged in every holding groove, wherein a multiplicity of sealing elements are at the side of a side surface of the rotor section, and lie opposite the end sides of blade roots to form a gap. Multiple outlet holes for impingement cooling of the sealing elements are provided in the end surface.
