An article and a method of manufacturing the article is disclosed. The method includes providing the article including a substrate and a coating at least partially disposed on the substrate. The coating includes an outer surface. The coating further includes platinum and chromium. The method further includes applying cold work to the outer surface of the coating to produce a cold-worked layer extending from the outer surface of the coating to a cold work depth. The cold-worked layer includes approximately 45% cold work. The cold work depth is between about 30 microns to about 150 microns from the outer surface of the coating.

A method for manufacturing a blade with a first portion and a second portion, the method includes forming the first portion that includes forming a model of the first portion from removable material, forming a first shell mould from the model of the first portion, and forming the single-crystal or columnar first portion m a first metal alloy in the first shell mould from a single-crystal seed, and forming the second portion in which the second portion is formed on the first portion, and in which the first portion and the second portion are made from different materials, the second portion being polycrystalline and formed from a second metal alloy. The blade includes a single-crystal or columnar first portion made from a first metal alloy and a polycrystalline second portion made from the second metal alloy different from the first metal alloy.

Sealing arrangements and turbomachines are provided. A sealing arrangement includes a transition duct having an upstream end and a downstream end. The transition duct includes an aft frame that circumferentially surrounds the downstream end of the transition duct. A first stage nozzle is spaced apart from the aft frame and defines a gap therebetween. A sealing assembly is coupled to the aft frame. The sealing assembly includes a flexible sealing element that extends from the aft frame, across the gap, to the first stage nozzle. The flexible sealing element is forced into sealing engagement with the first stage nozzle by pressure from a compressed working fluid. The sealing assembly further includes a heat shield disposed between the flexible sealing element and the aft frame. The heat shield terminates within the gap.

A gas turbine engine article includes a substrate and an environmental barrier coating disposed on the substrate. The environmental barrier coating includes oxygen-scavenging particles. Each oxygen-scavenging particle includes a silicon-containing core particle encased in an oxygen barrier shell.

A seal assembly includes a carbon seal that has a sealing surface. A seal seat has a sealing surface and is positioned for rotation relative to the carbon seal. A diamond-like carbon coating at least partially forms the sealing surface on the seal seat.

In some embodiments, apparatuses are provided herein useful to sealing a gap between a movable flap and stationary structure, such as a gap between a gas turbine engine nozzle flap and sidewall. An apparatus for sealing such a gap may be a plunger seal which may include a plurality of plunger segments connected together using at least one flexure. When positioned in the gap, the flexures within the plunger segments pivot allowing rotation of each of the plurality of plunger segments about their respective pivot point, such that the plunger assembly seals and contours against the movable surface.

Systems and methods include providing a stator vane bushing for a variable stator vane assembly having a movable stator vane and a stator vane housing disposed annularly about the movable stator vane. The bushing includes a flange, a barrel extending from the flange, and a central aperture extending through the flange and the barrel and is disposed in the housing and annularly about the stator vane. The bushing is formed from a ceramic material having a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) lower than or equal to a CTE of one or more of a stator vane and a housing of the variable stator vane assembly.

A gas turbine engine and combustor assembly are provided, the combustor assembly including a first liner and a second liner together defining at least in part a combustion chamber, wherein the first liner and the second liner are separated by a gap along the longitudinal direction, and wherein the first liner is forward of the second liner relative to a flow of fluid through the combustion chamber along the longitudinal direction, and wherein the gap is extended along the circumferential direction.

A method for compacting an anticorrosion coating includes projecting water soluble particles.

An airfoil assembly defines an axial direction, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction, and includes an airfoil and an outer band disposed on an outer end of the airfoil in the radial direction. The outer band includes an outer attachment structure configured to secure the outer band to an outer support structure on an outer side of the outer band.
