Abstract
Abstract A radial-type ceramic turbine rotor comprising a blade member and a shaft bonded to the blade member, and having an axial hole extending through the blade member from its front surface towards the tip of the shaft, can be produced without forming cracks during dewaxing, ill-bonding of the blade member with the shaft, and lowering of the bonding strength, and has a high workability in the precise machining.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
A radial-type ceramic turbine rotor, comprising: a blade portion having a front surface, a rear surface, a completely smooth conical female surface between said front and rear surfaces and an axial hole extending from said front surface toward said rear surface, said axial hole having a diameter of 2-5 mm and thereby functioning as an exhaust hole during a dewaxing of the rotor; and a shaft portion having a completely smooth conical male surface which is complementary to said conical female surface and a tip portion at an end of said shaft portion, said tip portion having a radius of curvature of 2-5 mm, said shaft portion being bonded to said blade portion such that said conical male surface contacts said conical female surface and said tip portion is the only portion of said shaft portion which commumicates with said axial hole and said tip portion is located completely within said blade portion such that said tip portion does not extend to said front surface of said blade portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
169 words
A radial-type ceramic turbine rotor, comprising: a blade portion having a front surface, a rear surface, a completely smooth conical female surface between said front and rear surfaces and an axial hole extending from said front surface toward said rear surface, said axial hole having a diameter of 2-5 mm and thereby functioning as an exhaust hole during a dewaxing of the rotor; and a shaft portion having a completely smooth conical male surface which is complementary to said conical female surface and a tip portion at an end of said shaft portion, said tip portion having a radius of curvature of 2-5 mm, said shaft portion being bonded to said blade portion such that said conical male surface contacts said conical female surface and said tip portion is the only portion of said shaft portion which commumicates with said axial hole and said tip portion is located completely within said blade portion such that said tip portion does not extend to said front surface of said blade portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The radial-type ceramic turbine rotor of claim 1, wherein said axial hole is tapered a maximum of 5 degrees and the largest portion of said hole is located adjacent said tip portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
204 words
A radial-type ceramic turbine rotor, comprising: a blade portion having a diameter of 50 mm-90 mm, a front surface, a rear surface, a completely smooth conical female surface between said front and rear surfaces and an axial hole extending from said front surface toward said rear surface, said axial hole having a diameter of 2-5 mm and being tapered a maximum of 5 degrees and the largest portion of said hole is located closest to said rear surface of said blade portion, said axial hole thereby functioning as an exhaust hole during a dewaxing of the rotor; and a shaft portion having a completely smooth conical male surface which is complementary to said conical female surface and a tip portion at the end of said shaft portion, said tip portion having a radius of curvature of 2-5 mm, said shaft portion being bonded to said blade portion such that said conical male surface contacts said conical female surface and said tip portion is the only portion of said shaft portion which communicates with said axial hole and said tip portion is located completely within said blade portion such that said tip portion does not extend up to said front surface of said blade portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
204 words
A radial-type ceramic turbine rotor, comprising: a blade portion having a diameter of 50 mm-90 mm, a front surface, a rear surface, a completely smooth conical female surface between said front and rear surfaces and an axial hole extending from said front surface toward said rear surface, said axial hole having a diameter of 2-5 mm and being tapered a maximum of 5 degrees and the largest portion of said hole is located closest to said rear surface of said blade portion, said axial hole thereby functioning as an exhaust hole during a dewaxing of the rotor; and a shaft portion having a completely smooth conical male surface which is complementary to said conical female surface and a tip portion at the end of said shaft portion, said tip portion having a radius of curvature of 2-5 mm, said shaft portion being bonded to said blade portion such that said conical male surface contacts said conical female surface and said tip portion is the only portion of said shaft portion which communicates with said axial hole and said tip portion is located completely within said blade portion such that said tip portion does not extend up to said front surface of said blade portion.
