Zusammenfassung:A turbomachinery blade including a hollow interior is provided with an improved tip cap comprising first and second members each made of an alloy of a composition and properties different from the other. The first member, in the form of a closure plate bonded to sidewalls of the hollow body, is of a nickel-base or cobalt-base superalloy casting characterized by high mechanical strength properties at elevated temperatures. The second member is a rib of the shape of and bonded to the first member and is of a cast alloy characterized by the combination of resistance to oxidation, sulfidation and thermal fatigue at elevated temperatures. The second member provides an outer tip extension of the blade.
