A rotor vane for an aircraft turbine engine includes a blade extending between an inner platform and an outer platform which carries at least one projecting lip. The blade has a lower surface and an upper surface, and the outer platform includes, on the side of the lower and upper surfaces, lateral edges configured to cooperate in a form-fitting manner with complementary lateral edges of adjacent vanes. Each of the lateral edges has an anti-wear coating, and one of the lateral edges forms a hollow tip (P) with a bowl configured to receive the coating and further including a first concave cylindrical surface portion, the geometric dimensions of which are optimized to limit the risk of cracks appearing when the coating is applied.

A turbine engine with an outer rotor that circumscribes an inner rotor. The outer rotor includes circumferentially arranged components with a radial outer end and radial inner end. Inner ends of confronting sides of adjacent components include at least one damper element to dampen the relative motion of the components or to provide at least a partial seal between adjacent components.

A closed impeller includes an impeller body including a plurality of blade portions, and a shroud fitted on the impeller body. The shroud is press formed into a curved shape along end portions of the blade portions. The shroud includes a plurality of protrusions protruding from a surface facing the impeller body and extending, and curved, along the end portions of the plurality of blade portions. An amount of protrusion of each of the protrusions is less than a thickness of the shroud. A brazing material is provided at least on end portions of the protrusions.

The invention refers to a blade for a turbomachine comprising a shroud which is positioned on a tip side of the blade having an outer surface having at least one circumferential web arranged thereon, at least one pocket recessed in the outer surface and a hardfacing provided on at least one edge of the shroud wherein a pocket recessed in the outer surface is arranged adjacent to the hardfacing and a side face of the pocket joins the supporting wall with a radius corresponding at least to the length of the shorter extension of the supporting wall and at most to 1.5 times the length of the larger extension of the supporting wall.

A rotary machine assembly for a turbomachine, such as a rotor, having a rotor wheel where a plurality of circumferentially spaced female dovetail slots are obtained. The rotary machine assembly also comprises a plurality of blades. Between each blade and the adjacent one there is an interface angle. Each blade comprises a male dovetail, configured to fit with a corresponding female dovetail slot of the rotor wheel along an insertion direction. The female dovetail slots are shaped so that the insertion direction of each male dovetail is convergent with the rotation axis of the rotor wheel, so as to form with it an insertion angle, so as to insert gradually all the male dovetails into the female dovetail slots and packing them also gradually. A method for assembling a rotary machine assembly, which does not require any specific tool, is also disclosed.

The turbine exhaust case can have an outer shroud, an inner shroud internal to the outer shroud, an annular exhaust path between the outer shroud and the inner shroud, and a plurality of struts each having a length extending across the annular exhaust path from a radially inner end to a radially outer end, the struts circumferentially interspaced from one another, the struts each having a leading edge and a trailing edge, a stiff connection between the radially inner end and the inner shroud, and a point connection between the radially outer end and the outer shroud.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An inner shroud damper for a gas turbine engine includes: at least one carrier including a joint to couple to an inner shroud, the at least one carrier having a first side and a second side, and at least one mass damper coupled to the at least one carrier.

The invention concerns an inter-blade profile (14) for a turbine runner blade, said inter-blade profile (14) comprising a profile (16), and a plug (18), forming a basis of the profile (16) and intended for being inserted into a corresponding hole (21) made in a blade.

A turbomachine includes a shroud and a hub spaced apart from the shroud to channel an airflow along a direction. The turbomachine includes a plurality of airfoils coupled between the shroud and the hub. At least one airfoil of the plurality of airfoils includes a leading edge spaced apart from a trailing edge in the direction of the airflow and a pressure side opposite a suction side. The turbomachine includes at least one local vortex generator array defined on the suction side so as to extend onto the hub or the shroud. The at least one local vortex generator array is defined downstream of the leading edge.

A method for refitting blade shrouds of a rotor wheel in an aircraft turbomachine is described. The rotor wheel has a disc bearing blades that each have an airfoil extending between a root and a shroud, the shroud of each blade having lateral edges comprising including shapes complementary to the lateral edges of the shrouds of the adjacent blades. The lateral edges of the shrouds are interlocked in engagement with one another such that anti-Wear coatings of these edges are in contact With one another in a desired interlocking engagement position, and at least one of the lateral edges of at least one of the shrouds being able to be disengaged from the lateral edge of an adjacent shroud in an undesired disengagement position. The method includes, when an undesired disengagement position is detected, a step of inserting a re-engagement device into the turbomachine.
