A coated gas turbine engine part includes a substrate and a calcium-magnesium-alumino-silicate (CMAS) protection layer present on the substrate. The protection layer includes a first phase of a calcium-magnesium-alumino-silicate CMAS protection material capable of forming an apatite or anorthite phase in the presence of calcium-magnesium-alumino-silicates CMAS and a second phase including particles of at least one rare-earth REa silicate dispersed in the first phase.

An example high-performance system includes an example high-performance component including a substrate and a multilayer abradable track adjacent to the substrate. The abradable track includes a plurality of alternating layers along a thickness of the abradable track. The plurality of alternating layers includes at least one relatively porous abradable layer and at least one relatively dense layer. A porosity of the relatively dense layer is lower than that of the at least one relatively porous abradable layer. The example high-performance system may include a rotating component configured to contact and abrade the multilayer abradable track. An example technique for forming the multilayer abradable track includes thermal spraying a first precursor composition toward the substrate to form a relatively porous abradable layer of a layer pair of a plurality of layer pairs of the multilayer abradable track, and a second precursor composition to form a relatively dense layer of the pair.

Methods for repairing flange bolt holes and the resulting flange bolt holes are provided. The methods and products include the incorporation of a coating system comprising a corrosion resistant layer, which can be formed by resistance plug welding, slurry or sol-gel processing, or thermal/cold spray processing. The corrosion resistant layer can be a super alloy or ceramic material and is different than the base material of the flange bolt hole. Corrosion of the flange bolt hole can be reduced or prevented from occurring with the use of the coating system.

The thermal barrier coating includes reactive gadolinia in its microstructures and the embedded gadolinia effectively reacts with CMAS contaminant reducing the damage from CMAS. Moreover, a method to produce a CMAS resistant thermal barrier coating can include a post-treatment to the thermal barrier coating with the reactive gadolinia suspension in sol-gel state.

A method is provided for manufacturing at least a portion of a heat exchanger. During this method, a first heat exchanger section is formed that includes a base and a plurality of protrusions. The forming of the first heat exchanger section includes building up at least one protrusion material on the base to form the protrusions. The first heat exchanger section is attached to a second heat exchanger section. A plurality of flow channels are defined between the first heat exchanger section and the second heat exchanger section.

A plasma thermal spray device includes a nozzle body (41) having a main flow passage (48) that has a plasma flame (37) formed therein in a direction toward a downstream side from an upstream end (41A) disposed on one side in an axis direction, and extending along an axis (Ax); a powder introduction port (43) that is provided in a portion of the nozzle body (41) located the downstream side from the upstream end (41A) and introduces thermal spray powder (36) from a radially outer side to the plasma flame (37); and a fluid introduction port (45) that is provided at a position closer to the downstream side than a formation position of the powder introduction port (43) in the nozzle body (41) and introduces a working fluid into the main flow passage (48) from the radially outer side of the nozzle body (41).

A method that includes introducing a suspension comprising a coating material and a carrier into a heated plume of a thermal spray device. The coating material may include silicon or a silicon alloy. The method further includes directing the coating material using the heated plume toward a substrate that includes a ceramic or a ceramic matrix composite and depositing the coating material to form a bond coat directly on the substrate such that the bond coat defines a porosity of less than about 3 percent by volume.

A bladed rotor comprising a rotor disk (12) presenting two front faces (14, 15) and an outer peripheral face (16), sockets (18) being provided in the outer peripheral face (16) and opening out into at least one of the front faces (14, 15). The rotor (10) comprising blades (30), each having a root (32) whereby the blade is fastened in a socket (18), an end face (31) of the root being substantially level with the front face (14) of the disk when the blade is fastened in the socket. A coating layer (40) is deposited on the disk (12) so as to cover both at least a portion of the front face (14) of the disk and at least a portion of the end face (31) of the root (32).

An arrangement for a turbine has a metallic support structure having at least one radial support strut and a multiplicity of plate-shaped, fiber-reinforced ceramic segments which are arranged one on top of the other on the support structure and together define the circumferential contour, the segments being provided with through-openings through which the at least one support strut extends, wherein the at least one support strut has outwardly-extending projections that extend perpendicular to the radial direction and engage in corresponding recesses formed in the segments.
