This disclosure is directed to composites of MAX-phase materials and gold, and methods for preparing the same.

An aircraft turbine engine module, including a degassing tube and an ejection cone. The tube and the cone are engageable together by structures which cause them to be centered when engaged together. Also provided is a locating and adjusting tool for assembling the module.

A method of controlling an extent of a thermal barrier coating (TBC) sheet spall and a hot gas path (HGP) component are disclosed. The method provides an HGP component having a body with an exterior surface. Controlling the extent of the TBC sheet spall includes forming a TBC over a selected portion of the exterior surface of the body. The TBC includes a plurality of segments in a cellular pattern. Each segment is defined by one or more slots in the TBC, and each segment has a predefined area such that the extent of the TBC sheet spall is limited by the predefined area of each of the plurality of segments that constitute the TBC sheet spall.

A turbine blade includes an airfoil body having an outer tip and a platform; and a part-span shroud positioned between the outer tip and the platform of the airfoil body. The part-span shroud has a first opening extending through the airfoil body and having a first inner surface. The airfoil body includes a second opening extending radially from the first opening and having a second inner surface. A first elongated vibration-damping element is disposed in the first opening, and a second elongated vibration-damping element disposed radially in the second opening. The second elongated vibration-damping element includes a free radially outer end and a radially inner end coupled to the first elongated vibration-damping element. The first elongated vibration-damping element frictionally damps vibration, and the second elongated vibration-damping element damps vibration using impact within the second opening.

An igniter seal arrangement for a combustion chamber. The combustion chamber has a wall having first surface and second surfaces. A boss projects from the first surface, and has a platform on its remote end. The platform has an inner surface spaced from the first surface of the wall to define a chamber between the first surface of the wall and the inner surface of the platform. The platform has an outer surface facing away from the first surface of the wall and an aperture extends through the wall from the outer surface of the platform of the boss to the second surface. First and second L-shape rails extend from the platform and a sealing member has a first edge and a second edge locatable between the outer surface of the platform and the first and second L-shape rails and the sealing member has an aperture to receive an igniter.

A rotary machine includes damper pins and platforms each having a flat surface extending in an axial line direction. For each adjacent pair of the platforms, a damper abutting surface of a first of the adjacent pair of the platforms extends toward a damper abutting surface of a second of the adjacent pair of the platforms as approaching an outer side of a rotor blade stage in a radial direction while opposing each other in a peripheral direction. A damper accommodation space, which is defined by surfaces including the damper abutting surfaces, is defined between each adjacent pair of the platforms. Each of the damper pins defines a regular polygonal prism extending in the axial line direction and includes a damper pin main body in which an angle defined by two side surfaces corresponds to an angle defined by the damper abutting surfaces between the adjacent pair of the platforms.

A core element of an investment core for use in a casting process used to produce an airfoil includes an investment core body, an extension connected to and protruding from the investment core body, and a connection portion connected to the investment core body and to the extension. The investment core body comprises a ceramic material. A shape of the extension comprises a tube with a centerline axis passing through a center of the extension. A shape of a cross-section of the extension taken along a plane perpendicular to the extension centerline axis comprises an ellipse. The extension is connected to the investment core body by the connection portion.

Disclosed herein is a gas turbine blade. The gas turbine blade includes a turbine blade (33) provided in a turbine, and film cooling elements (100), each including a cooling channel (110) for cooling of the turbine blade (33), an outlet (120) through which cooling air is discharged, and a plurality of ribs (130), wherein the outlet (120) extends from a longitudinally extended end of the cooling channel (110) to an outer surface of the turbine blade (33) and has a width increased from one end of the cooling channel (110) to the outer surface of the turbine blade (33), and the ribs (130) face each other on inner walls of the outlet (120).

Disclosed are a blade ring segment for a turbine section, a turbine section having the blade ring segment, and a gas turbine having the turbine section. Multiple blade ring segments is installed in a turbine casing accommodating turbine blades rotated by combustion gas from a combustor. The blade ring segment includes an inner panel provided in the turbine casing and having multiple air holes through which cooling air fed from the outside of the turbine casing flows, an outer panel disposed on one side of the inner panel, and a cooling structure protruding from one side of the outer panel so as to form a flowing channel in a zigzag pattern so that cooling air fed through the air holes flows therethrough.
