Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing a bladed element of a rotary fluid machine, for example a turbine or compressor, includes the steps of securing a plurality of blades in a gas-tight manner in respective openings in a wall of a hollow casing with one end of each blade in the hollow interior of the casing and the remainder of the blade externally of the casing, filling the casing with powder which surrounds the blade ends within the casing, hermetically sealing the casing, and isostatically pressing the casing around the blade ends in order to form the casing, the powder and the blade ends into a monolithic body.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A method of manufacturing a bladed element of a rotary fluid machine, comprising the steps of: providing a first annular metal wall with blade receiving openings therethrough; securing said first wall to at least one second metal wall to form a hollow casing; securing a plurality of metal blades in gas-tight manner in respective openings in said first wall, with one end of each of said blades extending through and beyond said first wall; filling said casing with metal powder which surrounds said one end of each of said blades within said casing; hermetically sealing said casing with said one end of each of said blades extending into the hollow interior of said casing; and hot isostatically pressing said filled and sealed casing around said one end of each of said blades to form said casing, said powder and said one end of each of said blades into a bonded monolithic body.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
152 words
A method of manufacturing a bladed element of a rotary fluid machine, comprising the steps of: providing a first annular metal wall with blade receiving openings therethrough; securing said first wall to at least one second metal wall to form a hollow casing; securing a plurality of metal blades in gas-tight manner in respective openings in said first wall, with one end of each of said blades extending through and beyond said first wall; filling said casing with metal powder which surrounds said one end of each of said blades within said casing; hermetically sealing said casing with said one end of each of said blades extending into the hollow interior of said casing; and hot isostatically pressing said filled and sealed casing around said one end of each of said blades to form said casing, said powder and said one end of each of said blades into a bonded monolithic body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method claimed in claim 1, wherein subsequent to filling said casing with said powder and prior to hermetically sealing said casing, said casing and the powder contained therein are de-gassed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
The method claimed in claim 1 or 2 for manufacturing a bladed element of ring shape, wherein said element comprises two of said hollow casings of annular shape disposed in spaced-apart relationship, each of said blades having one end disposed in one of said casings and its other end disposed in the other of said casings.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
The method claimed in claim 1 or 2 for manufacturing a bladed element in the form of a disc with a bladed periphery, wherein said casing comprises a sheet-metal ring forming said first wall and two spaced-apart discs secured in gas-tight manner to said ring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 1 or 2, wherein said securing of said plurality of metal blades occurs prior to said securing of said first wall.
