Gas turbine stator
The invention is related to the gas turbine stators of the gas turbine engines applied in aviation. The gas turbine stator, in the outer housing of which sectors of the split honeycomb ring (made as double-layer one) are installed with support elements on the front and rear axial ends of the sector. In this invention, the layer of the sector facing the outer housing is made U-shaped in the plane, the support elements are made as separate rotary bodies distributed uniformly along the circumference and the front support elements (on the gas flow direction) are larger than rear ones in terms of geometrical dimensions by factor 1.1 . . . 1.5. Therefore, the implementation of the invention proposed with the characteristic features above, in conjunction with the known features of the invention claimed enables reduction of the gas turbine stator weight and improvement its reliability without compromising the turbine efficiency.

Disclosed is a movable vane (1) for a wheel (2) of an aircraft turbine engine, the vane (1) comprising a blade (4) delimited by an outer heel (8) comprising a first seal (14), the vane (1) comprising an internal circuit (16) suitable for receiving a first minor gas flow (f1), this circuit (16) comprising a supply cavity (17) opening at the root (9) via at least one inlet opening (18), characterised in that the circuit (16) comprises at least two channels (19) connected with the supply cavity (17) and each opening on an outer surface of the first seal (14) via a discharge opening such that a gas jet (J) of the first minor gas flow (f1) is capable of being discharged from each discharge opening, each channel (19) being oriented such that the corresponding gas jet (J) is capable of being projected towards a second minor gas flow (f2) escaping between the heel (8) and a directly adjacent member (22).
TURBINE SHROUD WITH ABRADABLE LAYER HAVING DIMPLED FORWARD ZONE
Turbine and compressor casing abradable components for turbine engines include abradable surfaces with a zonal system of forward (zone A) and rear or aft sections (zone B) surface features. The zone A surface profile comprises an array pattern of non-directional depression dimples, or upwardly projecting dimples, or both, in the abradable surface. The dimpled forward zone A surface features reduce surface solidity in a controlled manner, to help increase abradability during blade tip rubbing incidents, yet they provide sufficient material to resist incoming hot working fluid erosion of the abradable surface. In addition, the dimples provide generic forward section aerodynamic profiling to the abradable surface, compatible with different blade airfoil-camber profiles. The aft zone B surface features comprise an array pattern of ridges and grooves.
Angular sector for turbomachine blading with improved sealing
An angular sector of a fixed blade ring of a turbomachine, in particular a stator or a guide vane assembly, includes, relative to the axis of said fixed blade ring, a radially outer platform, a radially inner platform, at least two blades extending between said platforms, and at least one block of abradable honeycomb material extending on the inside of the inner platform between transverse ends of the sector. The block of abradable material includes at least one transverse end wall shaped according to a toothed profile having at least one radially oriented tooth extending across an entire radial thickness of said block.
Process for producing a run-in coating
Disclosed is a process for producing a run-in coating (20, 24, 32, 44) on a component of a turbomachine, in particular of a gas turbine. The run-in coating is applied and produced on the component of the turbomachine by a kinetic cold gas compacting process (K3).

Each of the corrugated sheet metals has trapezoids formed in alternating fashion. A longer direction of each wall of the nodes of the honeycomb seal is angled with respect to the rotational direction of the turbine blades.
