Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. A shroud assembly of a gas turbine engine includes: a first shroud arm having a first end and a second end, the first end to couple to an outer wall and the second end to couple to a first shroud pad, and a second shroud arm having a first end and a second end, the first end to couple to the outer wall and the second end to couple to a second shroud pad, at least one of the first shroud pad or the second shroud pad to move radially outward toward the outer wall in response to a rotor blade contacting the at least one of the first shroud pad or the second shroud pad.

An inner shroud block component for a gas turbine. The inner shroud block has a radially inward facing surface with an abradable material applied thereto. The abradable material includes a zone of ridges that extend radially inwardly from the radially inward facing surface to minimize the clearance between the inner shroud block and the blade tip of a turbine blade. The abradable material may be ceramic and may be abraded by the blade tip if contact occurs between the blade tip and the inner shroud block. The zone of ridges extend along the radially inward facing surface in parallel to a direction of rotation of the turbine blade.

The present invention relates to a rotor blade arrangement for a turbomachine, with a rotor blade which has a sealing tip radially on the outside, and with a seal arrangement, wherein the seal arrangement forms a radially inwardly open cavity, in which the sealing tip is arranged, to which end the seal arrangement has a first sealing element, namely a first seal carrier with a first run-in coating, and a second sealing element, wherein the first run-in coating delimits the cavity radially on the outside, and the second sealing element delimits the cavity in an axial direction, and wherein the first and the second sealing element are assembled.

An assembly for a gas turbine engine includes, among other things, an end wall including a main body extending between a first end portion and a second end portion to establish a seal face. The end wall includes a first attachment portion dimensioned to fixedly attach the main body to a static structure at a first attachment point. An airfoil extends radially inwardly from the end wall relative to an assembly axis. The airfoil includes an inner cavity extending between a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion adjacent the end wall of the airfoil. A spar member includes a spar body extending between a first end portion and a second end portion. The spar body extends at least partially through the inner cavity. The first end portion of the end wall is cantilevered from the first attachment point.

An example high-performance system includes an example high-performance component including a substrate and a multilayer abradable track adjacent to the substrate. The abradable track includes a plurality of alternating layers along a thickness of the abradable track.
