Blade and shroud with socket for a compressor of an axial turbomachine
The present application is concerned with a blading structure of a compressor of an axial turbomachine for an aircraft. The blading structure includes a wall, such as a composite internal shroud with an organic matrix, which is intended to radially delimit a primary annular flow of the turbomachine and which comprises a fastening socket. The structure additionally has a blade fastened in the fastening socket and extending radially with respect to the wall, and a fastening layer at the interface between the blade and the socket. The interface includes asperities hugging the fastening layer, so as to ensure anchoring by engagement of material in order to fasten the blade in the socket by bonding. The present application also proposes a low-pressure compressor with an internal shroud with sockets bonded to blades.

PRECERAMIC IONIC SYSTEMS
A process of forming a Si-containing ceramic comprises forming a Si-based polymeric composition. The process includes neutralizing a charge of said Si-based polymeric composition. The process includes adding thermal energy under a controlled atmosphere to the Si-based polymeric composition. A turbine engine component comprises an airfoil and the airfoil comprises a Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) material.
System and method for in situ repair of gas turbine engine casing clearance
The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for repairing an abradable material coated on a casing of a gas turbine engine. The system includes an articulating guide configured to fit into an access port of the gas turbine engine. Further, the articulating guide has a proximal end and a distal end. The system also includes a repair tool configured at a distal end of the articulating guide. The repair tool includes a body having a proximal end and a shaped distal end, with the shaped distal end extending away from the body. Thus, the shaped distal body is configured to trench out an area of the abradable material comprising a defect. The system also includes a filler material for filling the trenched out area.
Turbine shroud with locating inserts
A turbine shroud for a gas turbine engine includes an annular metallic carrier, a blade track, and a cross-key connection formed between the annular metallic carrier and the ceramic blade track. The cross-key connection is formed between the annular metallic carrier and inserts included in the blade track.
Attachment of structures having different physical characteristics
Methods of bonding first structures to second structures are disclosed wherein the first and second structures are fabricated materials having different physical characteristics. For example, the first structure may be a composite fan blade and the second structure may be a composite or metallic rotor, both for use in gas turbine engines. The method includes providing the first and second structures and plating or otherwise coating a portion of the first structure with a metal to provide a metal-coated portion. The method includes applying at least one intermediate material onto the metal-coated portion of the first structure. The method further includes bonding the metal-coated portion of the first structure and the intermediate material to the second structure. The bonding is carried out using a relatively low-temperature process, such as liquid phase bonding, including TLP and PTLP bonding. Brazing is also a suitable technique, depending on the materials chosen for the first and second structures.
INTERMEDIATE CASING HUB FOR AN AIRCRAFT TURBOJET ENGINE INCLUDING A COMPOSITE OUTLET PIPE
The invention relates to an intermediate casing hub of an aircraft turbojet engine, which includes: an outer shroud (14) intended for defining a secondary flow space of a stream of secondary gas on the inside and an inter-flow area on the outside, the outer shroud (14) being provided with a secondary opening (29), and a bleed valve comprising an outlet pipe (30) made of composite material, located in the inter-flow area, wherein the outlet pipe (30) is attached to the outer shroud (14) at the secondary opening (29), at least one gasket (33) for sealing against air and fire being arranged between the outlet pipe (30) and the outer shroud (14), and the outlet pipe (30) made of composite material includes a draped composite wall (30a, 30b), made up of a plurality of folds impregnated with resin.
Turbine engine repair methods
A method for patching a damaged polymeric erosion coating (250) on a gas turbine engine component. The method comprises removing a portion of the coating around a damage site (200; 202; 204) and applying a pre-formed coating patch (220).
ALTERING STRUCTURAL RESPONSE OF TWO-PIECE HOLLOW-VANE ASSEMBLY
A hollow vane assembly including an open body including an interior; at least one cover support structure formed in said open body proximate the interior; a cover brazed to the open body to form at least one flow passage; and at least one surface feature on the cover.
