A method for manufacturing a sensor module having a passive electrical component comprises punching a plurality of holes in a first green sheet of a plurality of green sheets, and forming a plurality of channels and a plurality of passageways in a second green sheet of the plurality of green sheets by using a laser on the second green sheet. A metallization paste is printed in the plurality of holes, the plurality of channels, and the plurality of passageways, and the first green sheet and the second green sheet are dried with the metallization paste. The method further comprises aligning, stacking, laminating, and sintering the plurality of green sheets together to create a sintered tile, and separating a plurality of coils of the sintered tile in order to obtain the sensor module.

A method of manufacturing a core for casting a component can include manufacturing a core for at least partially forming an internal passage architecture of a component with a material including radiopaque particles. A method can include removing a material including radio opaque particles from an internal passage architecture of a component; and inspecting the component via radiographic imaging at gamma/X-ray wavelengths to detect residual material. A core for use in casting an internal passage architecture of a component can include a material with radiopaque particles dispersed therein.

A blade for a gas turbine engine. The blade having: an airfoil formed from a first material; a protective sheath disposed on a leading edge of the airfoil, the protective sheath being formed from a second material, the first material being galvanically incompatible with the second material and the first material being less noble than the second material; a non-conductive material disposed between the protective sheath and the airfoil so that they are electrically isolated from each other; a sacrificial anode in contact with the blade, wherein the sacrificial anode is formed from a third material that is less noble than the first material such that it will corrode before the first material if the non-conductive material disposed between the protective sheath and the airfoil is compromised and the first material and the second material are no longer electrically isolated from each other.

A ceramic component for a turbomachine, the ceramic component (1) being configured to be destroyed in response to a contacting with another component (2) of the turbomachine that moves relative to the ceramic component (1). A turbomachine component pairing and a turbomachine including such a ceramic component.

A fan blade capable of dissipating a buildup of electrostatic charge configured for operation within the fan assembly of a gas turbine engine. The fan blade has a fan blade body covered in a static dissipative coating. A conductive ground tab is attached to the front face of an airfoil root of the fan blade. Connected to the ground tab, a conductive flow path travels up the neck portion of the airfoil and along a lower portion of the fan blade. As static charge builds up on the fan blade, the electrostatic charge migrates down the fan blade and into the conductive flow path. Traveling along the conductive flow path the buildup of electrostatic charge accumulates on the conductive ground tab and exits the fan blade through contact with a disc rotor covering touching the conductive ground tab.

An air seal for use in a gas turbine engine. The seal includes a thermally sprayed abradable seal layer. The abradable material is composed of aluminum powder forming a metal matrix, and co-deposited methyl methacrylate particles and/or hexagonal boron nitride particles embedded as filler in the metal matrix.

A fan blade for a fan of a gas turbine engine is described which includes an airfoil having an inner core and an outer shell composed of different metals, and a galvanic separator therebetween. The galvanic separator including an adhesive layer covering said at least a portion of the inner core, and a non-conductive fabric covering the adhesive layer. A plurality of solid metal particles may be disposed on an outer surface of the non-conductive fabric layer, between the non-conductive fabric layer and the outer shell.

Articles having coatings that are resistant to high temperature degradation are described, along with methods for making such articles. The article comprises a coating disposed on a substrate. The coating comprises a plurality of elongated surface-connected voids. The article further includes a protective agent disposed within at least some of the voids of the coating; the protective agent comprises a substance capable of chemically reacting with liquid nominal CMAS to form a solid crystalline product outside the crystallization field of said nominal CMAS. This solid crystalline product has a melting temperature greater than about 1200 degrees Celsius. The method generally includes disposing the protective agent noted above within the surface connected voids of the coating at an effective concentration to substantially prevent incursion of CMAS materials into the voids in which the protective agent is disposed.

A seal assembly includes a first component, a second component, a first seal, a first shelf, a second shelf, and a second seal. The second component is adjacent to the first component and forms a cavity between the first and second components. The first seal spans the cavity. The first shelf extends axially from the first component and is located between the first seal and a hot gas path. The second shelf extends axially from the second component and is located between the first shelf and the hot gas path; the second shelf together with the first shelf forms a flow channel. The second seal conforms to the first shelf, sealing the flow channel.
