GEPANZERTE MASCHINENKOMPONENTE UND GASTURBINEARMORED MACHINE COMPONENT AND GUESTURBINE
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Maschinenkomponente mit einem aus einem Grundmaterial gefertigten Grundkörper, der in einem Teilbereich seiner Oberfläche mit einer Panzerung aus einem Auftragsmaterial mit einer im Vergleich zum Grundmate¬ rial größeren Härte versehen ist. Sie betrifft weiterhin eine Gasturbine mit einer Anzahl von Maschinenkomponenten dieser Art.The invention relates to a machine component with a base body made of a base material, which is provided in a portion of its surface with an armor made of a coating material with a hardness greater than the Grundmate ¬ rial. It further relates to a gas turbine with a number of machine components of this type.
Turbinen, insbesondere Gasturbinen, werden in vielen Bereichen zum Antrieb von Generatoren oder von Arbeitsmaschinen eingesetzt. Dabei wird der Energieinhalt eines Brennstoffs zur Erzeugung einer Rotationsbewegung einer Turbinenwelle genutzt. Der Brennstoff wird dazu in einer Brennkammer verbrannt, wobei von einem Luftverdichter verdichtete Luft zuge¬ führt wird. Das in der Brennkammer durch die Verbrennung des Brennstoffs erzeugte, unter hohem Druck und unter hoher Temperatur stehende Arbeitsmedium wird dabei über eine der Brennkammer nachgeschaltete Turbineneinheit geführt, wo es sich arbeitsleistend entspannt.Turbines, in particular gas turbines, are used in many areas to drive generators or work machines. In this case, the energy content of a fuel is used to generate a rotational movement of a turbine shaft. The fuel is combusted in a combustion chamber, fed by an air compressor, compressed air is ¬ leads. The working medium produced in the combustion chamber by the combustion of the fuel, under high pressure and at high temperature, is guided via a turbine unit arranged downstream of the combustion chamber, where it relaxes to perform work.
Zur Erzeugung der Rotationsbewegung der Turbinenwelle sind dabei an dieser eine Anzahl von üblicherweise zu Schaufel¬ gruppen oder Schaufelreihen zusammengefassten Laufschaufeln angeordnet, die über einen Impulsübertrag aus dem Arbeitsme¬ dium die Turbinenwelle antreiben. Zur Führung des Arbeitsme- diums in der Turbineneinheit sind zudem üblicherweise zwi¬ schen benachbarten Laufschaufelreihen mit dem Turbinengehäuse verbundene Leitschaufelreihen angeordnet.For generating the rotational movement of the turbine shaft are in this group, a number of commonly ¬ blade or blade rows disposed summarized blades which dium over a momentum transfer from the Arbeitsme ¬ drive the turbine shaft. To guide the Arbeitsme- dium in the turbine unit also usually between ¬ adjacent blade rows are connected to the turbine housing associated vane rows.
Eine Turbine dieser Art umfasst eine Vielzahl von Bauteilen oder Maschinenkomponenten, die unter Einhaltung vorgegebener Maße, Formen und/oder Toleranzen geeignet in der Turbine positioniert sind. In vielen Fällen kann es dabei wünschenswert sein, den Kontakt benachbarter Maschinenkomponenten oder Bau- teile miteinander zu minimieren, um solchermaßen einen Verschleiß der betroffenen Bauteile besonders gering zu halten. Dennoch kann es beim Betrieb der Turbine, beispielsweise in¬ folge thermischer Ausdehnungen oder auch infolge von be- triebsbedingt auftretenden Schwingungen oder dergleichen, immer wieder zu eigentlich unerwünschtem Kontakt zwischen derartigen Bauteilen kommen, so dass ein gewisser Verschleiß derartiger Bauteile auftritt. Beispielsweise sind als derar¬ tige Maschinenkomponenten im Bereich der Brennkammer der Gasturbine üblicherweise ein so genanntes Flammrohr, einA turbine of this type comprises a plurality of components or machine components which are positioned in the turbine in accordance with predetermined dimensions, shapes and / or tolerances. In many cases, it may be desirable to avoid contact between adjacent machine components or components. To minimize parts with each other, so as to keep wear of the affected components particularly low. Nevertheless, it may in the operation of the turbine, for example, ¬ follow thermal expansions or due to operationally caused vibrations occurring or the like, coming back to actually unwanted contact between such components, so that a certain amount of wear of such components occurs. For example, as derar ¬ term machine components in the combustion chamber of the gas turbine usually a so-called flame tube, a
Mischgehäuse und ein Innengehäuse benachbart zueinander an¬ geordnet. Diese weisen bauartbedingt derart große Verformun¬ gen und kritische Toleranzen auf, dass im Betrieb der Gasturbine ein Kontakt dieser Bauteile stellenweise unver- meidlich ist. Durch diesen Kontakt entsteht ein unerwünschter und insbesondere bei langer Betriebsdauer möglicherweise auch kritischer Verschleiß, so dass die genannten Bauteile in regelmäßigen Abständen inspiziert und bei Bedarf ausgetauscht/repariert werden müssen.Mixed housing and an inner housing adjacent to each other ¬ ordered. This type of construction have such large Verformun ¬ gen and critical tolerances that contact of these components is at times unavoidable in the operation of the gas turbine. As a result of this contact, unwanted and, in particular during long periods of operation, possibly also critical wear occurs, so that the components mentioned must be inspected at regular intervals and, if necessary, replaced / repaired.
Um in derartigen Situationen den Verschleiß der betroffenen Bauteile oder Maschinenkomponenten besonders gering zu halten, können die Maschinenkomponenten in so genannter gepanzerter Ausführung gefertigt sein, wobei die vom erwarteten Verschleiß oder den erwarteten Kontakten mit Nachbarkomponenten besonders betroffenen Bereiche mit einer auch als Panze¬ rung bezeichneten Schutzbeschichtung überzogen sind. Eine derartige Panzerung kann dabei aus einem Auftragsmaterial ge¬ bildet sein, das eine im Vergleich zum Grundmaterial der je- weiligen Komponente größere mechanische Härte aufweist, so dass bereits durch eine derartig geeignete Materialwahl ein kontaktbedingt auftretender Verschleiß verringert werden kann .In order to keep especially low wear of the affected parts or machine components in such situations, the machine components can be made in so-called armored embodiment, the regions most affected by the expected wear or the expected contacts with neighboring components tion with as Panze ¬ protective coating designated are coated. Such armor may consist of a coating material ge ¬ forms its having a greater than the basic material of the component JE weiligen mechanical hardness so that a contact occurring due to wear can be reduced by such a suitable choice of material already.
Aufgrund der üblicherweise für derartige Einsatzzwecke größe¬ ren Härte des Auftragsmaterials ist dieses aber auch spröder als das jeweilige Grundmaterial des Grundkörpers der Maschi¬ nenkomponente. Eine Weiterverarbeitung des mit dem Auftrags- material versehenen Grundkörpers, beispielsweise durch Biegen oder dergleichen, ist somit nur noch eingeschränkt möglich. Des Weiteren kann es bei einer thermischen Ausdehnung des Grundkörpers in dem mit dem Auftragsmaterial versehenen Be- reich aufgrund des unterschiedlichen thermischen Ausdehnungsverhaltens zu Rissbildungen und anderen Beschädigungen kommen. Gerade zum Einsatz in thermisch vergleichsweise hoch belasteten Regionen, wie beispielsweise im Innenbereich der Brennkammer einer Gasturbine, sind derartig gepanzerte Ma- schinenkomponenten daher nur bedingt geeignet.Due to the customarily used for such purposes ¬ ren hardness size of the application material that is also more brittle than nenkomponente top of the basic material of the body of the Maschi ¬. Further processing of the product material provided basic body, for example by bending or the like, is thus only possible to a limited extent. Furthermore, thermal expansion of the main body in the area provided with the application material may lead to cracking and other damage due to the different thermal expansion behavior. Especially for use in thermally comparatively highly loaded regions, such as, for example, in the interior of the combustion chamber of a gas turbine, such armored machine components are therefore only of limited suitability.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Maschi¬ nenkomponente der oben genannten Art anzugeben, die auch für den Einsatz in einem thermisch vergleichsweise hoch belaste- ten Bereich einer Arbeitsmaschine besonders geeignet ist. Des Weiteren soll eine Gasturbine mit einer Anzahl derartiger Maschinenkomponenten angegeben werden.The invention is therefore based on the object, a Maschi nenkomponente ¬ indicate the type mentioned above, which is particularly suitable for use in a thermally relatively highly belaste- th area of a work machine. Furthermore, a gas turbine with a number of such machine components is to be specified.
Hinsichtlich der Maschinenkomponente wird diese Aufgabe er- findungsgemäß gelöst, indem die Panzerung segmentiert ausge¬ führt und von einer Anzahl von Panzerungssegmenten gebildet ist .With respect to the machine component this object is achieved according to the invention ER- by segmented armor leads out ¬ and is formed from a number of cladding segments.
Die Erfindung geht dabei von der Überlegung aus, dass die Ma- schinenkomponente für eine grundsätzliche Einsetzbarkeit un¬ ter Einhaltung verschleißarmer Arbeitsbedingungen mit einer geeigneten Panzerung versehen sein sollte. Um die damit einhergehenden Nachteile insbesondere hinsichtlich der Weiter- verarbeitbarkeit und auch der Stabilität gegenüber thermi- scher Beanspruchung zu vermeiden, sollte die laterale Ausdehnung der Panzerung besonders gering gehalten werden. Um dabei dennoch einen ausreichend großen Teilbereich der Oberfläche abdecken zu können, sollten einzelne Zonen der Panzerung voneinander entkoppelt ausgeführt werden, um somit ausreichende Nachgiebigkeit gegenüber thermischer Verformung und dergleichen zu ermöglichen. Dazu sollte die Panzerung segmentweise ausgeführt sein. Die Panzerungssegmente können durch geeignete Techniken auf dem Grundkörper der Maschinenkomponente aufgebracht sein. Vorteilhafterweise sind die Panzerungssegmente jedoch durch Auftragsschweißen auf den Grundkörper aufgebracht, so dass eine besonders innige Verbindung zum Grundkörper und somit eine hohe Stabilität der Maschinenkomponente insgesamt er¬ reicht ist.The invention is based on the consideration that the machine-component should be provided for a fundamental applicability un ¬ ter compliance with low-wear working conditions with a suitable armor. In order to avoid the associated disadvantages, in particular with regard to further processability and also the stability against thermal stress, the lateral extent of the armor should be kept particularly low. In order nevertheless to be able to cover a sufficiently large subarea of the surface, individual zones of the armor should be executed decoupled from one another, in order thus to allow sufficient resilience to thermal deformation and the like. For this, the armor should be executed segment by segment. The armor segments may be applied by suitable techniques on the base of the machine component. Advantageously, however, the armor segments are applied by build-up welding on the base body, so that a particularly intimate connection to the base body and thus a high stability of the machine component as a whole he ¬ is enough.
Die Panzerungssegmente können auf eine äußere Oberfläche des Grundkörpers aufgebracht sein, so dass die hierdurch entste¬ hende Kontur im Wesentlichen eine Mehrzahl von durch die Panzerungssegmente gegebene Ausbuchtungen auf der Oberfläche der Schienenkomponente aufweist. Um jedoch für das Bauteil oder die Maschinenkomponente die Einhaltung geforderter Maße oder auch die Bereitstellung einer nach außen hin glatten Oberfläche zu ermöglichen, sind die Panzerungssegmente vorteilhaf¬ terweise jeweils in zugeordnete Vertiefungen in den Grundkörper eingebracht oder eingebettet. Dadurch ist vorteilhafterweise insgesamt eine nahezu ebene Gesamtoberfläche der Ma- schinenkomponente erreichbar, wobei insbesondere die äußere Oberfläche der Panzerungssegmente und die äußere Oberfläche der zwischen den Panzerungssegmenten verlaufenden Stege des Grundkörpers eine durchgängige Oberfläche bilden.The armor segments can be applied to an outer surface of the base body, so that the resulting entste ¬ rising contour has a plurality of given by the armor segments bulges on the surface of the rail component substantially. However, in order to allow for the component or the machine component compliance with required dimensions or the provision of an outwardly smooth surface, the armor segments are vorteilhaf ¬ terweise introduced or embedded in associated recesses in the body. As a result, a virtually even overall surface of the machine component can advantageously be achieved overall, with the outer surface of the armor segments in particular and the outer surface of the webs of the base body extending between the armor segments forming a continuous surface.
Vorteilhafterweise kommen Maschinenkomponenten der genannten Art in einer Gasturbine, insbesondere als Flammrohr einer Brennkammer, als Mischgehäuse eines Brenners und/oder als In¬ nengehäuse einer Brennkammer zum Einsatz. Dabei können insbesondere auch benachbart zueinander positionierte Bauteile oder Maschinenkomponenten derartig gepanzert ausgeführt sein, wobei vorteilhafterweise der gepanzerte Teilbereich der Ober¬ fläche einer ersten Maschinenkomponente benachbart zum gepan¬ zerten Teilbereich der Oberfläche einer zweiten Maschinenkomponente angeordnet ist. In besonders vorteilhafter Ausge- staltung weist dabei das Auftragsmaterial der ersten Maschi¬ nenkomponente eine andere Härte auf als das Auftragsmaterial der zweiten Maschinenkomponente. Durch geeignete Materialwahl ist es somit möglich, bei auftretendem Kontakt der beiden Ma- schinenkomponenten miteinander den Verschleiß gezielt auf eine der beiden Maschinenkomponenten - nämlich diejenige mit der Panzerung geringerer Härte - zu fokussieren, wobei dazu insbesondere die leichter austauschbare oder reparierbare Maschinenkomponente gewählt werden kann.Advantageously, come machine components of the said type in a gas turbine, in particular a flame tube of a combustion chamber as a mixing housing a burner and / or as in ¬ nengehäuse a combustor used. In this case can be designed such armored particular also adjacent to each other positioned components or machine components, wherein the reinforced portion, advantageously the upper ¬ surface of a first machine component adjacent to Gepan ¬ zerten portion of the surface of a second machine component is arranged. In a particularly advantageous excluded staltung this, the coating material of the first Maschi ¬ nenkomponente a different hardness than the coating material of the second machine component. By a suitable choice of material, it is thus possible, in the event of contact between the two Machine components with each other specifically to focus the wear on one of the two machine components - namely the one with the armor of lesser hardness - in particular the more easily replaceable or repairable machine component can be selected.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass durch die segmentierte Ausführung der Panze¬ rung der Maschinenkomponente auch bei nur kleinen Toleranzbe- reichen eine Anbringung der Panzerung auf den Grundkörper überhaupt erst ermöglicht wird, wobei gerade im Hinblick auf die segmentierte Ausführung der Panzerung ein Verzug des Grundkörpers infolge der hohen Arbeitstemperaturen beim Auftragsschweißen weitgehend vermieden werden kann. Durch die segmentierte Ausführung der Panzerung wird zudem eine Riss¬ bildung bei der Aufbringung der Panzerung vermieden, die bei durchgehender Schweißung der Panzerung auftreten könnte. Zudem wird ein nachträgliches Biegen des Bauteils ermöglicht, ohne dass das Auftragsmaterial dabei zu stark beansprucht würde. Des Weiteren sind Verformungen und Verbindungsschweis- sungen während der Montage und im Betrieb vergleichsweise einfach durchzuführen, ohne dass kritische Auswirkungen auf das Bauteil zu befürchten sind.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that the segmented design of the Panze ¬ tion of the machine component even with only small tolerance ranges attaching the armor on the body in the first place is possible, especially with regard to the segmented execution of the armor a distortion of the body due to the high operating temperatures during buildup welding can be largely avoided. Through the segmented design of the armor also crack ¬ education in the application of armor is avoided, which could occur with continuous welding of the armor. In addition, a subsequent bending of the component is made possible without the order material would be too stressed. Furthermore, deformations and connection welds during installation and operation are comparatively easy to carry out, without any critical effects on the component to be feared.
Durch die Anbringung der Panzerungssegmente in in den Grund¬ körper eingearbeitete Vertiefungen kann die Oberfläche der Maschinenkomponente im Nachhinein homogenisiert werden, wobei ein möglicher Überstand nach dem Auftragsschweißen auch nachträglich entfernt werden kann. Dabei kann insbesondere bei angepasster Bauteilgeometrie die Einhaltung extern vorgegebe¬ ner Maße sichergestellt werden. Die segmentierte Aufbringung der Panzerung reduziert zudem die Belastung des Bauteils bei der Fertigung, Montage und im Betrieb.By attaching the armor segments in the basic ¬ body incorporated recesses, the surface of the machine component can be homogenized in retrospect, with a possible supernatant after the deposition welding can also be subsequently removed. The compliance with externally-giving ¬ ner dimensions can be ensured particularly for matched component geometry. The segmented application of the armor also reduces the load on the component during manufacture, assembly and operation.
Gerade bei der Anwendung bei Turbinen, insbesondere Gasturbi¬ nen, kann zudem durch geeignete Materialwahl bei der paarweisen Panzerung von Komponentenpaaren durch geeignete Wahl unterschiedlicher Härten der Verschleiß auf eine der beiden ge- paarten Komponenten fokussiert werden, so dass eine nachträg¬ liche Wartung und ein Austausch betroffener Komponenten bedeutend erleichtert werden kann.Especially in the application to turbines, in particular NEN Gasturbi ¬, can also overall by suitable material choice for the pairwise armoring component couples through a suitable choice of different hardnesses, the wear on one of the two coupled components are focussed, so that a nachträg ¬ Liche maintenance and replacement of affected components can be significantly facilitated.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand einer Zeichnung näher erläutert. Darin zeigen:An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing. Show:

Die Gasturbine 1 gemäß FIG 1 weist einen Verdichter 2 für Verbrennungsluft, eine Brennkammer 4 sowie eine Turbine 6 zum Antrieb des Verdichters 2 und eines nicht dargestellten Gene¬ rators oder einer Arbeitsmaschine auf. Dazu sind die Turbi¬ ne 6 und der Verdichter 2 auf einer gemeinsamen, auch als Turbinenläufer bezeichneten Turbinenwelle 8 angeordnet, mit der auch der Generator bzw. die Arbeitsmaschine verbunden ist, und die um ihre Mittelachse 9 drehbar gelagert ist.The gas turbine 1 according to FIG 1 comprises a compressor 2 for combustion air, a combustion chamber 4 and a turbine 6 to drive the compressor 2 and a Gene ¬ rators not shown or a work machine. For this purpose the Turbi ¬ are ne 6 and the compressor 2 arranged on a common, also referred to as the turbine rotor turbine shaft 8, is connected to the generator or the driven machine, and which is mounted rotatably about its central axis. 9
Die Brennkammer 4 ist mit einer Anzahl von Brennern 10 zur Verbrennung eines flüssigen oder gasförmigen Brennstoffs be- stückt. Sie ist weiterhin an ihrer Innenwand mit nicht näher dargestellten Hitzeschildelementen versehen.The combustion chamber 4 is equipped with a number of burners 10 for combustion of a liquid or gaseous fuel. It is also provided on its inner wall with heat shield elements not shown.
Die Turbine 6 weist eine Anzahl von mit der Turbinenwelle 8 verbundenen rotierbaren Laufschaufeln 12 auf. Die Laufschau- fein 12 sind kranzförmig an der Turbinenwelle 8 angeordnet und bilden somit eine Anzahl von Laufschaufelreihen . Weiterhin umfasst die Turbine 6 eine Anzahl von feststehenden Leit¬ schaufeln 14, die ebenfalls kranzförmig unter Bildung von Leitschaufelreihen an einem Innengehäuse 16 der Turbine 6 befestigt sind. Die Laufschaufeln 12 dienen dabei zum Antrieb der Turbinenwelle 8 durch Impulsübertrag von einem die Tur¬ bine 6 durchströmenden Arbeitsmedium M. Die Leitschaufeln 14 dienen hingegen zur Strömungsführung des Arbeitsmediums M zwischen jeweils zwei in Strömungsrichtung des Arbeitsmediums M gesehen aufeinander folgenden Laufschaufelreihen oder Laufschaufelkränzen. Ein aufeinander folgendes Paar aus einem Kranz von Leitschaufeln 14 oder einer Leitschaufelreihe und aus einem Kranz von Leitschaufeln 12 oder einer Laufschaufelreihe wird dabei auch als Turbinenstufe bezeichnet.The turbine 6 has a number of rotatable blades 12 connected to the turbine shaft 8. The runners 12 are arranged in a ring shape on the turbine shaft 8 and thus form a number of blade rows. Furthermore, the turbine 6 comprises a number of fixed Leit ¬ blades 14, which also wreath-shaped to form Guide vanes are attached to an inner housing 16 of the turbine 6. The blades 12 serve to drive the turbine shaft 8 by momentum transfer from a tur ¬ bine 6 flowing through the working medium M. The vanes 14, however, serve to flow the working medium M between two seen in the flow direction of the working medium M consecutive blade rows or blade rings. A successive pair of a ring of vanes 14 or a row of vanes and a ring of vanes 12 or a blade row is also referred to as a turbine stage.
Jede Leitschaufel 14 weist eine Plattform 18 auf, die zur Fixierung der jeweiligen Leitschaufel 14 am Innengehäuse 16 der Turbine 6 als Wandelement angeordnet ist. Die Platt¬ form 18 ist dabei ein thermisch vergleichsweise stark belas¬ tetes Bauteil, das die äußere Begrenzung eines Heißgaskanals für das die Turbine 6 durchströmende Arbeitmedium M bildet. Jede Laufschaufel 12 ist in analoger Weise über eine auch als Schaufelfuß bezeichnete Plattform 20 an der Turbinenwelle 8 befestigt .Each vane 14 has a platform 18, which is arranged to fix the respective vane 14 on the inner housing 16 of the turbine 6 as a wall element. The plate ¬ form 18 is a thermally comparatively heavily belas ¬ tetes component that forms the outer boundary of a hot gas channel for the turbine 6 flowing through the working medium M. Each blade 12 is attached to the turbine shaft 8 in an analogous manner via a platform 20, also referred to as a blade root.
Zwischen den beabstandet voneinander angeordneten Plattformen 18 der Leitschaufeln 14 zweier benachbarter Leitschaufel- reihen ist jeweils ein Führungsring 21 am Innengehäuse 16 der Turbine 6 angeordnet. Die innere Oberfläche jedes Führungs¬ rings 21 ist dabei ebenfalls dem heißen, die Turbine 6 durch¬ strömenden Arbeitsmedium M ausgesetzt und in radialer Richtung vom äußeren Ende 22 der ihm gegenüberliegenden Lauf- schaufeln 12 einer Laufschaufelreihe durch einen Spalt 24 beabstandet .Between the spaced-apart platforms 18 of the guide vanes 14 of two adjacent Leitschaufel- rows each having a guide ring 21 on the inner housing 16 of the turbine 6 is arranged. The inner surface of each guide ¬ rings 21 is also the hot, exposed through the turbine 6 ¬ flowing working medium M, and in the radial direction from the outer end 22 of the opposite him running blades 12 of a rotor blade row by a gap 24th
Wie der vergrößerten Darstellung in FIG 2 entnehmbar ist, ist jeder der Brennkammer 4 in seinem Einströmbereich, an dem eine Anzahl von nicht näher spezifizierten Zuführungsleitungen für Medien, wie Brennstoff und Verbrennungsluft ange¬ schlossen sind, in seinem Inneren mit einem so genannten Flammrohr 30 ausgerüstet, innerhalb dessen die Verbrennung des Brennstoffs stattfindet. Über ein ebenfalls innerhalb des Gehäuses 32 des jeweiligen Brenners 10 angeordnetes, auch als Mischgehäuse bezeichnetes Übergangsstück 34 ist das Flammrohr 30 ausgangsseitig verbunden mit einem Mischgehäuse 34 der Brennkammer 4.As the enlarged view is removable in FIG 2, each of the combustion chamber 4 is in its inflow area to which a number of unspecified supply lines for media, such as fuel and combustion air is ¬ included are equipped in its interior with a so-called flame tube 30 within which the combustion of the fuel takes place. Via a likewise arranged within the housing 32 of the respective burner 10, also referred to as mixing housing transition piece 34, the flame tube 30 is connected on the output side to a mixing housing 34 of the combustion chamber. 4
Das Flammrohr 30, das Übergangsstück 34 und das Innengehäu¬ se 36 sind dabei in der Art ineinander gesteckter Rohre mit¬ einander verbunden, so dass eine zuverlässige Medienstrom- führung vom Flammrohr 30 in das Innengehäuse 36 der Brennkammer 4 gewährleistet ist. Die jeweils ineinander gesteckten Rohrenden sind dabei unter Einhaltung der vorgegebenen Maße und Toleranzen möglichst berührungsfrei voneinander positio¬ niert, so dass ein Verschleiß aufgrund von in Kontakt mitein- ander geratenden Komponenten und aneinander reibenden Komponenten möglichst vermieden ist. Allerdings lässt sich be¬ triebsbedingt beim Betrieb der Gasturbine 1 ein immer wieder¬ kehrender Kontakt dieser Komponenten miteinander nicht vermeiden, so dass in jedem Fall mit einem Restverschleiß zu rechnen ist. Um diesem Verschleiß Rechnung zu tragen, ist im Rahmen von Wartungs- und Inspektionsarbeiten eine regelmäßige Überprüfung und gegebenenfalls ein Austausch dieser Komponenten erforderlich.The flame tube 30, the transition piece 34 and the Innengehäu ¬ se 36 are connected in the nature of nested tubes with ¬ each other, so that a reliable media flow management is ensured by the flame tube 30 in the inner housing 36 of the combustion chamber 4. The respectively inserted tube ends are thereby positio ¬ niert as possible contact-free from each other in compliance with the predetermined dimensions and tolerances, so that wear due to coming in contact with each other components and rubbing together components as possible avoided. However, it can drive caused during operation of the gas turbine 1, a constantly recurring ¬ contact of these components do not avoid each other, so that in any case likely to be a residual wear ¬. To account for this wear, regular inspection and replacement of these components is required as part of maintenance and inspection work.
Um den betrieblichen Aufwand der Gasturbine 1 besonders ge¬ ring zu halten und die erforderlichen Inspektions- und Wartungsarbeiten weitgehend zu vereinfachen, sind die Komponenten der Gasturbine 1 möglichst verschleißarm ausgelegt. Um dabei dem durch Kontakt der Maschinenkomponenten Flamm- röhr 30, Übergangsstück 34 und Innengehäuse 36 bedingten Verschleiß Rechnung zu tragen und gerade diesen Verschleiß bei auftretenden Kontakten der Komponenten miteinander besonders gering zu halten, sind die genannten Maschinenkomponenten als gepanzerte Komponenten ausgeführt. Dazu ist jede der Maschi- nenkomponenten Flammrohr 30, Übergangsstück 34 und Innengehäuse 36 aus einem aus Grundmaterial gefertigten Grundkörper 40 aufgebaut, der in einem jeweils in den FIG 3 bis 6 darge¬ stellten Teilbereich seiner Oberfläche mit einer Panzerung 42 aus einem Auftragsmaterial versehen ist. Das Auftragsmaterial ist dabei derart gewählt, dass es im Vergleich zum Grundmaterial eine größere Härte aufweist, so dass eine er¬ höhte Widerstandsfähigkeit gegenüber mechanischer und auch thermischer Belastung gegeben ist. Das Auftragsmaterial ist dabei jeweils durch Auftragsschweißen auf den Grundkörper 40 aufgebracht .In order to keep the operating costs of the gas turbine 1 particularly low and to simplify the required inspection and maintenance work to a large extent, the components of the gas turbine 1 are designed to be as wear-resistant as possible. In order to take into account the wear caused by contact of the machine components flame tube 30, transition piece 34 and inner housing 36, and to keep this wear particularly small when contacts of the components occur, the machine components mentioned are designed as armored components. For this purpose, each of the engine components flame tube 30, transition piece 34 and inner housing 36 is constructed of a base body 40 made of base material, which in an in each case in Figures 3 to 6 Darge ¬ presented portion of its surface with an armor 42nd is provided from a job material. The application material is chosen such that it has a greater hardness compared to the base material, so that he he ¬ increased resistance to mechanical and thermal stress is given. The application material is applied to the base body 40 in each case by build-up welding.
Um eine Beeinträchtigung der Fertigung, der Montage und auch des Betriebs der jeweiligen Maschinenkomponenten durch die Panzerung 42 zu vermeiden, wie sie beispielsweise durch das unterschiedliche thermische Ausdehnungsverhalten und damit verbundene Rissbildung beim eigentlichen Schweißvorgang oder auch beim Betrieb bei erhöhter thermischer Belastung auftre- ten könnte, ist die Panzerung 42 der jeweiligen Maschinenkomponente segmentiert ausgeführt. Dazu umfasst die Panzerung 42 eine Mehrzahl von Panzerungssegmenten 44, wobei die Dimensionierung im Hinblick auf die Dimensionierung der eigentlichen Maschinenkomponente und die verwendeten Materialien derart gewählt ist, dass durch die lateral begrenzte Ausdehnung die jeweiligen Panzerungssegmente 44 eine zu große Beeinträchti¬ gung des Grundkörpers 40 durch unterschiedliches thermisches Ausdehnungsverhalten und dergleichen vermieden ist.In order to avoid an impairment of the manufacture, assembly and also of the operation of the respective machine components by the armor 42, as might occur, for example, due to the different thermal expansion behavior and associated crack formation in the actual welding operation or also during operation under increased thermal load, the armor 42 is executed segmented the respective machine component. For this purpose, the armor 42 comprises a plurality of armor segments 44, wherein the dimensioning with respect to the dimensioning of the actual machine component and the materials used is chosen such that the laterally limited extent the respective armor segments 44 too large impairment ¬ tion of the base body 40 through different thermal expansion behavior and the like is avoided.
Wie der Darstellung in FIG 3 entnehmbar ist, sind die Panze¬ rungssegmente 44 jeweils in zugeordnete Vertiefungen im Grundkörper 40 eingebracht. Die Vertiefungen können dabei durch geeignete Bearbeitungsverfahren, wie beispielsweise durch Fräsen, Drehen oder Schleifen eingebracht worden sein. Die Dimensionierung kann dabei grundsätzlich derart vorgenommen werden, dass auf eine plane Oberfläche des Grundkörpers 40 die Panzerungssegmente 44 aufgebracht werden und dement¬ sprechend ihrer Dicke entsprechende Vertiefungen zwischen ihnen entstehen. Bei der Anbringung der Panzerungssegmente 44 kann die Anfertigung jedoch auch, wie dies in den FIG 3 bis 6 gezeigt ist, derart erfolgen, dass die äußere Oberfläche der Panzerungssegmente 44 mit der äußeren Oberfläche der zwischen den äußeren Panzerungssegmenten 44 verlaufenden Stege 46 des Grundkörpers 40 eine durchgängige und somit plane Oberfläche bilden. Als fertige Maschinenkomponente entsteht dabei ein Bauteil, das hinsichtlich seiner Formgebung, Dimensionierung und Maßhaltigkeit einem ursprünglich vorgesehenen Bauteil weitestgehend entspricht und insbesondere eine entsprechend glatte und planare Oberfläche aufweist.As the display is removed in FIG 3, which are approximately Panze ¬ segments 44 each in associated recesses in the base body 40 is introduced. The recesses may have been introduced by suitable machining methods, such as by milling, turning or grinding. The dimensions can in principle be carried out in such a way here that the cladding segments 44 are applied to a planar surface of the base body 40 and corresponding ¬ speaking their thickness corresponding recesses are formed between them. When attaching the armor segments 44, however, the preparation can also, as shown in Figures 3 to 6, carried out such that the outer surface of the armor segments 44 with the outer surface of extending between the outer armor segments 44 webs 46 of Base body 40 form a continuous and thus planar surface. As a finished machine component thereby creates a component which largely corresponds to an originally provided component in terms of its shape, dimensioning and dimensional stability and in particular has a correspondingly smooth and planar surface.
In FIG 4 ist gezeigt, dass auch ein gebogener Kühlluftring 50 als zumindest teilweise gepanzerte Maschinenkomponente der genannten Art ausgeführt sein kann. Der Kühlluftring 50 ist dabei an seiner Oberfläche ebenfalls mit Panzerungssegmen¬ ten 44 versehen, die in entsprechende Vertiefungen des den Kühlluftring 50 bildenden Grundkörpers 40 eingearbeitet sind. Im Grundkörper 40 des Kühlluftrings 50 sind dabei zusätzlich noch Kühlluftkanäle 52 vorgesehen, die durch entsprechende Bohrungen gebildet sind. Durch die Ausformung der auch als Taschen bezeichneten Vertiefungen, in denen die Panzerungssegmente 44 dabei angeordnet sind, kann die gewünschte Geo¬ metrie des Kühlluftrings 50 beibehalten werden. Dennoch wird auch bei Verwendung der Panzerungssegmente 44 eine nahezu ebene Oberfläche und ein ebener Übergang zum Grundkörper 40 geschaffen. Dadurch ist eine verstärkte Verschleißreduktion und eine verbesserte Bindung zwischen den verwendeten Materialien gewährleistet.FIG. 4 shows that a bent cooling air ring 50 can also be embodied as an at least partially armored machine component of the type mentioned. The cooling air ring 50 is also provided on its surface with Panzerssegmen ¬ th 44 which are incorporated into corresponding recesses of the cooling air ring 50 forming body 40. In the main body 40 of the cooling air ring 50 cooling air channels 52 are additionally provided, which are formed by corresponding holes. By forming the recesses, also called pockets, in which the cladding segments 44 are thereby arranged, the desired Geo ¬ be maintained geometry 50 of the cooling air ring. Nevertheless, an almost even surface and a smooth transition to the base body 40 is created even when using the armor segments 44. This ensures increased wear reduction and improved bonding between the materials used.
In FIG 5 ist gezeigt, dass als derartig gepanzerte Maschinen¬ komponenten insbesondere das Übergangsstück 34 und das Flammrohr 30 der Gasturbine 1 in ihrem überlappenden Bereich ausgeführt sind. Panzerungen 42 dieser Maschinenkomponenten sind dabei jeweils auf den einander zugewandten Oberflächensegmenten vorgesehen. Bei einer derartigen benachbarten Anordnung zweier derartig gepanzerter Maschinenkomponenten ist zudem, wie dies vorliegend für das Übergangsstück 34 und das Flamm¬ rohr 30 vorgesehen ist, durch eine geeignete Materialwahl für die Panzerungen 42 eine gezielte Fokussierung des Verschleißes auf eine der beiden Maschinenkomponenten, insbesondere auf die leichter austauschbare Maschinenkomponente, ermöglicht. Dazu ist vorliegend gezielt vorgesehen, das Auf- tragsmaterial für die Panzerung 42 des Flammrohres 30 von ge¬ ringerer Härte zu wählen als das Material für die Panze¬ rung 42 des Übergangsstücks 34. In FIG 5 it is shown that components such as armored machines ¬ particular, the transition piece 34 and the flame tube 30 of the gas turbine 1 in their overlapping area are executed. Armor 42 of these machine components are provided in each case on the facing surface segments. In such an adjacent arrangement of two such armored machine components is also, as is provided here for the transition piece 34 and the flame ¬ tube 30, by a suitable choice of material for the armor 42 targeted focusing of wear on one of the two machine components, in particular on the easily replaceable machine component, allows. For this purpose, it is purposefully provided in the present case The material for the armor 42 of the flame tube 30 of ge ¬ ringerer hardness to choose as the material for the Panze ¬ tion 42 of the transition piece 34th
