A method for depositing a metal layer on a component includes applying an electrically conductive coating composition comprising a resin and metal particles on a coating region of the component and partially curing the resin to a gel state to form an electrically conductive coating. The method also includes applying additional metal particles to the partially cured resin in the gel state and depositing, via an electrodeposition process, a metal layer on the electrically conductive coating.

A buffer air cooler system for gas turbine engines disposed in a bypass duct of the engine, includes a housing for containing the buffer air cooler therein and an inlet portion attached to the housing. In one embodiment, the inlet portion has a double-skin configuration in at least one region of a top, bottom and sides of the inlet portion.

A thrust reverser unit (TRU) 100 for a gas turbine engine 10 is provided that has first and second cascade elements 110, 120. In a stowed configuration, both the first and second cascade elements, and the operating mechanism, are located inside the nacelle 40, meaning that the TRU has no detrimental impact on the flow through the bypass duct 22. In the deployed configuration, the first cascade element 110 extends across the bypass duct 22. The first cascade element 110 has flow passages 112 that allow the flow to pass through, redirecting the flow towards the second cascade element 120. The second cascade element 120 further turns the flow so as to provide decelerating reverse thrust.

A method of forming a flow path trench in an integrally bladed disk is provided. The method includes tilting a cutting tool relative to a plane defined by the integrally bladed disk, driving the cutting tool at a cutting speed, and moving the cutting tool in a multiple dimensional movement to cut a flow path trench in a surface of the integrally bladed disk.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a vane (11) of a turbine engine comprising a pressure-face wall (14) and a suction-face wall (15) spaced apart from one another, this vane (11) comprising a tip (S) with: a bottom wall (18) extending from the pressure-face wall (14) to the suction-face wall (15), each of which comprises a free edge (19, 21) extending beyond this bottom wall (18) to delimit, together with this bottom wall (18), a squealer shape (B); a partition wall (22) extending from the pressure-face wall (14) to the suction-face wall (15) and spaced apart from the bottom wall (18) to delimit, together with this bottom wall (18), a cavity (C) under the squealer tip; the method including: a moulding step to form at least the pressure-face wall (14), the suction-face wall (15) and the partition wall (22); a step of forming the bottom wall (18) using an additive manufacturing method by adding metal material.
