ABSTRACT:
A turbine blade, preferably used in the low pressure stages of a steam turbine, is formed from a basic titanium alloy. Near the blade tip, it has a region, including the blade leading edge with a surface of a material which is more resistant to erosion than the basic titanium alloy.
This turbine blade should be simple to manufacture and should have a long life even under difficult operating conditions.
This is achieved in that the region including the blade leading edge has a protective layer formed by surface treatment of the basic titanium alloy by means of a high-power energy source, such as, in particular, a laser.
