MANUFACTURING THIN-WALLED CASTINGS UTILIZING ADAPTIVE MACHINING
A method of manufacturing a casting is provided and includes establishing desired dimensions of a nominal casting, executing a casting process to produce multiple actual castings with each of the multiple actual castings having respective dimensions that differ from each other and from the desired dimensions of the nominal casting and engaging one or more tools to adaptively machine, without rigidly-programmed toolpaths, each of the multiple actual castings to reduce the respective differences between the actual dimensions of each of the multiple actual castings and the desired dimensions.
Rotatable component for turbomachines, including a non-axisymmetric overhanging portion
A rotatable component for a turbomachine and a method for regulating a circumferential ingress of a fluid at a trailing edge of the rotatable component are disclosed. The rotatable component includes an airfoil and a mechanical component. The airfoil includes a pressure side and a suction side. The mechanical component is coupled to the airfoil and includes a forward overhanging portion, and an aft overhanging portion. The forward overhanging portion is disposed at a leading edge of the airfoil and extends longitudinally beyond the leading edge. The aft overhanging portion is disposed at a trailing edge of the airfoil and extends longitudinally beyond the trailing edge, where both the forward and aft overhanging portions further extend circumferentially along the pressure side and the suction side of the airfoil. The aft overhanging portion includes a non-axisymmetric profile for regulating the circumferential ingress of the fluid from the pressure to suction sides.
Assembly for releasable locking of a spinner or nosecone to an engine structure
Disclosed is an assembly for a gas turbine engine, the assembly includes: a spinner or nosecone comprising a threaded rear portion, an engine structure comprising a threaded front portion, the nosecone being threadingly connected to the engine structure, wherein rotation of the spinner or nosecone about the engine structure in a first direction secures the spinner or nosecone to the engine structure and rotation of the spinner or nosecone about the engine structure in a second direction releases the spinner or nosecone from the engine structure; and a lock ring slidingly connected to the engine structure to slide between: a forward position to engage the spinner or nosecone and block rotation of the spinner or nosecone in the second direction, and a rearward position, where the lock ring is spaced from the spinner or nosecone.
Turbomachine rotor blade
A field of turbomachine rotor blades, and in particular a turbomachine rotor blade including a blade root and a blade tip spaced apart by a blade height, together with at least one intermediate segment presenting a negative tangential slope, and a distal segment situated between the intermediate segment and the blade tip and presenting a positive tangential slope, wherein the distal segment extends over at most 30% of said blade height.
Rotor blade assembly comprising a ring-shaped or disc-shaped blade carrier and a radially inner reinforcement structure
A rotor blade assembly group for an engine with a ring-shaped or disc-shaped blade carrier having multiple rotor blades that are provided along a circle line about a central axis of the rotor blade assembly group, wherein the blade carrier has a carrier section that extends radially inwards in the direction of the central axis with respect to the rotor blades, the carrier section comprises a connection area, at which a stiffening structure with at least two, first and second, stiffening elements is fixedly attached, and the first stiffening element is arranged at a first face side of the blade carrier and the second stiffening element is arranged at a second face side that is facing away from the first face side. The first and second stiffening elements are connected to the connection area of the blade carrier and in addition are connected to each other.

Cooling Of Rotor And Stator Components Of A Turbocharger Using Additively Manufactured Component-Internal Cooling Passages
A turbocharger includes a turbine and a compressor, each of which includes a rotor and a stator. At least one of the respective rotors and/or stators includes at least one interior flow passage at least partly or completely surrounded by a wall that provides cooling. The respective rotor and/or stator having the at least one flow passage is at least partly produced by additive manufacturing.
Rotor disc sealing device, and rotor assembly and gas turbine including the same
A rotor disc sealing device, which seals a leakage gap generated in a space between facing surfaces of rotor discs to be coupled to one another, can include: slots formed in the facing surfaces of the rotor discs; a sealing plate formed of a hard material and inserted into the slots; and an auxiliary plate formed of a soft material and coupled to one side of the sealing plate.
Turbine engine with a seal
A turbine engine includes an engine core defining a higher pressure region and a lower pressure region. A seal can fluidly separate the higher pressure region from the lower pressure region and be movably mounted to a component within the turbine engine, where a side of the seal can confront the component.
