FORMING LINED COOLING APERTURE(S) IN A TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENT
A manufacturing method is provided. During this method, a preform component is provided for a turbine engine. The preform component includes a substrate. A meter section of a cooling aperture is formed in the substrate. An internal coating is applied onto a surface of the meter section. An external coating is applied over the substrate. A diffuser section of the cooling aperture is formed in the external coating and the substrate to provide the cooling aperture.
Energy beam positioning during formation of a cooling aperture
A manufacturing method is provided during which a preform component for a turbine engine is provided. A cooling aperture is formed in the preform component. The cooling aperture includes a centerline, an inlet and an outlet. The cooling aperture extends longitudinally along the centerline through a wall of the preform component from the inlet to the outlet. The forming of the cooling aperture includes forming a first portion of the cooling aperture using a machining tool implement with a first toolpath that is angularly offset from the centerline by a first angle between thirty-five degrees and ninety degrees.
Device and method for analyzing the surface of parts having cooling fluid openings
A method for coating a part having a surface that has cooling fluid openings that adjoin cooling fluid ducts inside the part. A device analyzes the surface of a part having a surface that has cooling fluid openings which adjoin cooling fluid ducts inside the part, the device being usable in the aforementioned method. The disclosed device and/or the disclosed method is used during the manufacturing and/or overhauling of parts of a turbomachine.
Methods for forming vertically cracked thermal barrier coatings and articles including vertically cracked thermal barrier coatings
A method for forming a vertically cracked thermal barrier coating is disclosed including positioning an article relative to a heat source. The article includes a thermal barrier coating disposed on a first surface of a substrate, and the substrate includes a second surface distal across the substrate from the first surface. Heat is applied locally to at least one discrete portion of the second surface of the substrate. At least one vertical crack in the thermal barrier coating is formed disposed over the at least one discrete portion. An article is disclosed including a substrate and a vertically-cracked thermal barrier coating disposed on the substrate. The vertically cracked thermal barrier coating includes at least one vertical crack in the thermal barrier coating and at least one of a low density of less than 85% of a theoretical density for the thermal barrier coating and a selective crack distribution.
Nacelle cowl deflection limiter
An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a nacelle inner structure and a deflection limiter. The nacelle inner structure includes an internal compartment and a cowl. The internal compartment is configured to house a core of a gas turbine engine. The cowl is configured to form an outer radial periphery of the internal compartment. The cowl is also configured to form an outer radial periphery of a compartment exhaust to the internal compartment at an aft end of the cowl. The deflection limiter is attached to the cowl. The deflection limiter is configured to limit radial outward movement of the cowl.
Fastening device for a heat-shield panel
A device for securing at least one thermal protection mat to an internal fixed structure of a nacelle includes at least one removable fastening element for securing the at least one thermal protection mat to the internal fixed structure designed to be arranged between the mat and the internal fixed structure. The device includes at least one gripping element connected to the removable fastening element to project relative to the mat on the opposite side to the internal fixed structure, the removable fastening element being intended to be detached from the internal fixed structure by a pulling force exerted on the gripping element.
Gas turbine engines and methods associated therewith
A method of forming a gas turbine engine component, the method including forming a plurality of cooling apertures in a preform structure of the component, the plurality of cooling apertures of the preform structure comprising a first cooling aperture and a second cooling aperture, wherein cross-sectional shapes of the first and second cooling apertures of the preform structure are different from one another, as measured in a same relative plane; and applying a coating to at least a portion of the preform structure to form the component, wherein a cross-sectional shape of the first and second cooling apertures of the component are approximately the same as one another, as measured in the same relative plane.
ASSEMBLY FOR AN AIRCRAFT NACELLE AND COMPRISING A SUPPORT PANEL, A THERMAL PROTECTION ELEMENT AND A FASTENING SYSTEM
An assembly including a support panel of an internal fixed structure, a thermal protection element and a plurality of fastening systems. Each fastening system includes a female part secured to the support panel and which has, in its interior, a circular shoulder, and a male part including a sleeve pierced with a main bore, a slide movable in translation in the main bore and a plurality of balls.
