A gas turbine engine includes a ceramic wall for bounding an engine core gas path. The ceramic wall has a ceramic wall first side that faces the engine core gas path and a ceramic wall second side that faces away from the engine core gas path. There is a metallic wall adjacent the ceramic wall second side. The metallic wall has a metallic wall first side that faces the ceramic wall and a metallic wall second side that faces away from the ceramic wall. The metallic wall and the ceramic wall are spaced apart such that there is a channel there between. There is a seal on the ceramic wall second side, and the metallic wall has at least one cooling hole adjacent the seal for emitting cooling air to cool the seal.

An assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a gas turbine engine component that has a first interface portion, and a support that has a mounting portion and a second interface portion, the mounting portion attachable to an engine static structure, a first retention feature that releasably secures the first interface portion to the support in a first installed position of the gas turbine engine component, and a second retention feature dimensioned to secure the first interface portion to the second interface portion in a second installed position of the gas turbine engine component. The first installed position differs from the second installed position, and one of first and second retention features is dimensioned to carry the gas turbine engine component in response to release of another one of the first and second retention features. A method of sealing for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

An effusion cooling element for the surface of a hot gas path (HGP) component is disclosed. The effusion cooling element includes a coolant swirling chamber embedded within the body of the HGP component. A coolant delivery passage is in the body and configured to deliver a coolant to the coolant swirling chamber. The coolant swirling chamber imparts a centrifugal force to the coolant. An effusion opening is in the HGP surface and in fluid communication with the coolant swirling chamber, the effusion opening having a smaller width than the coolant swirling chamber. The coolant exits the effusion opening over substantially all of 360° about the effusion opening, creating a coolant film on the HGP surface.

An airfoil vane assembly includes a vane piece defining a first vane platform, a second vane platform, and a hollow airfoil section joining the first vane platform and the second vane platform. The first vane platform defines a collar projection therefrom. A spar piece defines a spar platform and a spar extends from the spar platform into the hollow airfoil section. The spar platform includes a radial opening defined by first and second axial faces. The radial opening is configured to receive the collar projection, and a groove in the first axial face. A seal is situated in the groove. The seal seals against the collar projection and a biasing member is configured to bias the seal towards the collar projection. A method of assembling a vane is also disclosed.

A brush seal includes a first plate and a second plate. A plurality of bristles have a first end and a second end. The plurality of bristles are arranged between the first and second plates such that the first and second ends extend beyond the first and second plates. The first end is arranged at an angle relative to the second end.

By continuously long engravings, the spallation behavior of the thermal barrier coating is reduced and the lifetime of the TBC is prolonged.

A method of forming a sprayed coating includes preparing a spray target member having a surface on which openings of first ends of holes are formed, preparing a plurality of masking pins each of which comprises metal, and inserting each of the masking pins into a corresponding one of the holes so that each of the masking pins partially protrudes from the surface. The method also includes applying an adhesive agent for fixing the masking pins to the respective holes, to at least one of the holes or the masking pins, forming a ceramic layer by spraying on the surface of the spraying target member, the ceramic layer comprising a ceramic material, while the masking pins are fixed to the respective holes via the adhesive agent, and removing the masking pins from the holes after the spraying step.

A ceramic brush seal for a gas turbine engine, and a process for manufacturing the seal are provided. In one example, the process includes deinfiltrating an edge of a plurality of plies having a preimpregnated configuration. The edge is defined by a plurality of ceramic fibers extending away from a portion edge of a matrix infiltrated portion of each of the plies. In another example, the process includes masking an edge of a plurality of plies, the edge being defined by a plurality of ceramic fibers extending away from a portion edge of a body portion of each of the plies, and infiltrating the body portion of the plurality of plies with a ceramic matrix slurry. The plies are stacked, formed into a green body and then fired to form the component. The plies may include oxide/oxide woven ceramic fiber plies.

A ceramic shroud seal has a roughed inner surface for contacting a rotating turbomachine component.

A ceramic turbine engine exhaust component, such as a ceramic matrix composite (“CMC”) exhaust center body may be positioned around a metallic attachment ring. The attachment ring may have a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than the CMC center body. A plurality of bolts radially-spaced around the circumference of the attachment ring may be inserted through apertures in the center body with a sliding fit, and may be coupled to the attachment ring. The bolts may slide within the apertures, allowing the attachment ring to thermally expand without applying extra loads on the exhaust center body due to the expansion.
