Self-lubricating blade root/disk interface
A coating for a blade root/disk interface includes a layer of soft metal matrix, and a solid lubricant distributed through the soft metal matrix. Examples of materials include CuAl as the soft metal matrix and MoS.sub.2 as the solid lubricant, although others are also disclosed.
Method for producing a component from a composite material comprising a metal matrix and incorporated intermetallic phases
The present invention relates to a method for producing a component of a composite material comprising a metal matrix and incorporated intermetallic phases, which method comprises providing powders of at least one member of the group which comprises pure chemical elements, alloys, chemical compounds and material composites, the powder corresponding overall to the chemical composition which the composite material to be produced is intended to have, each individual powder being different to the chemical composition of the composite material to be produced, compacting the powders, bonding the powders to one another to form a unit and thermoplastically shaping the unit.
Cooling passages for a gas path component of a gas turbine engine
A gas path component for a gas turbine engine includes an element configured to be exposed to a gas path. The element includes a plurality of internal cooling passages. At least one of the internal cooling passages includes a cross section having a plurality of asymmetrical filleted corners.
Turbine engine blade outer air seal with load-transmitting carriage
A gas turbine engine includes a case disposed around a central axis, a vane structure disposed radially inwards of the case, a seal carriage mounted to the case, and a seal arc segment mounted to the seal carriage. The vane structure exerts an axial load on the seal carriage. The seal carriage defines a load path that radially transmits the axial load to the case.
MOLYBDENUM-SILICON-BORON WITH NOBLE METAL BARRIER LAYER
An article includes a substrate formed of a molybdenum-based alloy. A barrier layer is disposed on the substrate. The barrier layer is formed of at least one noble metal.
Blade outer air seal support for a gas turbine engine
A blade outer air seal support includes, at least one arc body having a first portion and a second portion, a blade outer air seal mounting region defined at least partially between the first portion and the second portion, and an interface feature interfacing the first portion and the second portion. The interface feature is configured such that axially aligned forces are communicated between the first and second portions through the interface feature, bypassing the blade outer air seal mounting region.
Turbine engine blade outer air seal with load-transmitting cover plate
A seal assembly includes a seal arc segment that defines radially inner and outer sides and first and second axial arc segment sides, a carriage that carries the seal arc segment, and a cover that defines first and second axial cover sides. The second axial cover side is adjacent the first axial arc segment side.
Molybdenum-silicon-boron with noble metal barrier layer
An article includes a substrate formed of a molybdenum-based alloy. A barrier layer is disposed on the substrate. The barrier layer is formed of at least one noble metal.
WEAR RESISTANT AIRFOIL TIP
A gas turbine engine includes an engine static structure extending circumferentially about an engine centerline axis; a compressor section, a combustor section, and a turbine section within the engine static structure. At least one of the compressor section and the turbine section includes at least one airfoil and at least one seal member adjacent to the at least one airfoil. A tip of the at least one airfoil is metal having a wear resistant coating and the at least one seal member is coated with an abradable coating. The wear resistant coating is formed as a layer in a base metal surface of the airfoil, has a thickness less than or equal to 10 mils (254 micrometers) and includes metal boride compounds.
WEAR RESISTANT TURBINE BLADE TIP
A gas turbine engine includes: a turbine section including a casing extending circumferentially about a plurality of turbine blades and having at least one seal member coated with an abradable coating. At least one turbine blade has sides and a tip and at least one seal member is located adjacent to the tip of the at least one turbine blade. The tip of the at least one turbine blade has a wear resistant layer and an abrasive coating disposed on the wear resistant layer. The wear resistant layer has a thickness less than or equal to 10 mils (254 micrometers) and includes metal boride compounds.
