ABSTRACT:
A blade for a fluid flow machine such as a jet turbine engine includes a blade body (2) that is to be exposed to the fluid flow and therefore is subject to damage by erosion due to abrasive particle entrained in the fluid flow and due to thermal loading. The blade body (2) is a layered body including base layers (6) of a fiber reinforced synthetic material and a metallic cover layer (7) applied as an erosion protective layer onto at least a portion or the entirety of the surface of the base layers (6). The cover layer (7) includes metallic fibers or threads (9A, 9B) which are bonded with the fiber reinforced synthetic material of the adjacent base layers (6) by the same synthetic resin binder material permeating through and forming a matrix for all the layers (6 and 7). The metallic fibers or threads (9A, 9B) embedded in a synthetic resin matrix are characterized by a high degree of erosion resistance and a good tolerance for defects in the case of local impact or erosion damage. The blade may be a blade of a fan or compressor stage of a jet turbine engine. A method for manufacturing and a method for repairing such blades involves exposing outer layers of fibers of a blade, and applying thereon a cover layer of metallic fibers or threads. An additional outer protective layer may be applied on the cover layer.
