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.

A method of applying a braze component to a honeycomb structure may comprise: applying at least a partial vacuum within a chamber, the chamber defined at least partially by a vacuum device and a cover, the honeycomb structure disposed within the chamber, the braze component disposed between the honeycomb structure and the cover; pulling the cover towards the braze component in response to applying the partial vacuum; and pulling the braze component into a plurality of hexagonal cells defined by the honeycomb structure in response to pulling the cover towards the braze component.

A method of making a component includes creating a computer file defining the component in layers, the component including: a body including a sealing portion; and an abradable seal extending from the sealing portion; and building the component using an additive manufacturing process that builds the component on a layer-by-layer basis such that the abradable seal is integral to the body.

An abradable member for a turbomachine turbine, including a cellular structure including walls defining wells which open through a wear face. The cellular structure includes at least one flow straightener jutting from the wear face.

A gas (or steam) turbine is disclosed including: a rotor with at least one array of rotor blades, a stator with a casing and a shroud ring; the shroud ring extends around the array of blades rotor and the casing extends around the shroud ring. The shroud ring has radial size independent from temperature due to its material and is movably coupled with the casing so to allow the casing of the stator to thermally expand and contract during operation of the turbine while maintaining the shroud ring radial size. Also, the rotor thermally expands and contracts during operation of the turbine, and, at working temperature, tip regions of the rotor blades are in close proximity to an inner region of the shroud ring so that clearance is small or zero at working condition.

A rotor (10) for a turbomachine, in particular for an aircraft engine, having a rotor base body (12), on which at least one sealing fin (14), which is disposed on a base (16), is provided for cooperating with an associated sealing element (20) of the turbomachine; relative to an axial direction of the rotor (10), the base (16) having a base portion (16a) disposed upstream of the sealing fin (14) and a base portion (16b) disposed downstream thereof, for supporting masks during the coating of sealing fins; the upstream base portion (16a) and the downstream base portion (16b) having different radial distances (A1, A2) to a radially outer sealing tip (18) of the sealing fin (14). Also, a turbomachine having at least one such rotor (10).

A gas turbine includes a housing and an outer sealing ring. In an assembled state of the housing and the outer sealing ring, a first planar structure of the outer sealing ring is axially moveable with respect to a second planar structure of the housing against a direction of flow through the gas turbine.

The invention relates to an assembly for a turbomachine, comprising a stator (1) and a rotor (2) rotatable relative to the stator (1) about an axis, the rotor (2) comprising blades each comprising a vane (3) connected to a radially inner platform (5), a block of abradable material (6) extending radially inwardly from the radially inner platform (5) the stator (1) having a shroud comprising an annular area (9), at least one lug (12) extending radially outwardly from said annular area (9), the radially outer end of the lug (12) cooperating with the block of abradable material (6).

A blade outer air seal (BOAS) for a gas turbine engine according to one disclosed non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure includes a seal body having a radially inner face and a radially outer face that axially extend between a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion; and a multitude of cooling fins disposed around the radially outer face of the seal body, at least one of the multitude of cooling fins having at least one aperture.

Turbomachine modules, for example for an aircraft, include a turbine nozzle having several sectors (S), each sector having guide vanes extending between inner and outer platform elements, at least one of the platform elements of each sector carrying, on the one hand, at least one sealing blade configured to ensure fluid sealing between the platform element and the adjacent structural element, and, on the other hand, a device configured to hold the at least one sealing blade in a sealing position. The device includes a leaf spring having a middle portion fixed to the platform element, and opposite end portions which are supported on the sealing blade carried by the platform element.
