REPAIRING OR RESUMING PRODUCTION OF A COMPONENT MADE OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL
A gas turbine component made of composite material includes a fiber reinforcement having a three-dimensional weave between a plurality of warp threads and a plurality of weft threads, the fiber reinforcement being densified by a matrix. The densified fiber reinforcement extends in width between a downstream end and an upstream end in an axial direction and in thickness between an inner surface and an outer surface in a radial direction. The fiber reinforcement densified by the matrix has a hollowed-out portion extending through the entire thickness of the fiber reinforcement. A composite material filler piece is present in the free volume of the component delimited by the hollowed-out portion, the filler piece including a fiber preform having a three-dimensional weave, the fiber preform being densified by a matrix.
Metallic shaft
The present disclosure relates to a metallic shaft for connecting components of a gas turbine engine. Example embodiments include a metallic shaft (400) for connecting components of a gas turbine engine, the shaft (400) having a longitudinal axis (410) and comprising: a first section (401) extending from a first end (403) of the shaft (400) to a joint (405), the first section (401) composed of a material having a first thermal expansion coefficient along the longitudinal axis (410); a second section (402) extending from a second opposing end (404) of the shaft to the joint (405), the second section (402) composed of a material having a second thermal expansion coefficient along the longitudinal axis (410) that is different to the first thermal expansion coefficient.
Multiple spoke cooling system and method
A mid-turbine frame module comprises an outer structural ring, an inner structural ring and a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart spokes structurally interconnecting the inner structural ring to the outer structural ring. The spokes are used as air feed pipe to provide cooling to different engine systems, such as an oil scupper line and a disc cavity of an adjacent turbine disc.
Mid-turbine frame spoke cooling system and method
A mid-turbine frame module comprises an outer structural ring, an inner structural ring and a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart spokes structurally interconnecting the inner structural ring to the outer structural ring. At least one of the tubular spokes accommodates a service line. The remaining spokes with no service line have an internal architecture which mimics an air cooling scheme of the at least one spoke housing a service line in order to provide temperature uniformity across all spokes.
