A portable jig and fixture having at least one base plate, a column assembly removably coupled to the at least one base plate, a slide assembly removably coupled to the column assembly, a power feed head removably coupled to the slide assembly, and a spindle unit removably coupled with the slide assembly having a motor removably engaged it. At least one cutter assembly is removably engaged with the spindle unit and at least one drill jig is also removably engaged with the spindle unit. Also, a turbomachine having complementary structure on the compressor discharge casing can engage with the at least one base plate alignment mounting structure on the portable jig and fixture.

A casing for a combustor includes an upstream segment, a downstream segment and a joint. The downstream segment is constructed and arranged to move telescopically with respect to the upstream segment and along a centerline. The joint includes a flange and bonding material, which attaches the flange to the upstream segment or the downstream segment. A melting point of the bonding material is less than a melting point of the flange and/or a melting point of the segments.

A thermoinsulating tile for combustion chambers of gas turbines comprises: a thermoinsulating material body having a first face and a second face; a sealed chamber encapsulated in the thermoinsulating material body between the first face and the second face and containing a marker substance in the liquid state at least at a temperature of use of the thermoinsulating tile.

A method for repairing a fuel nozzle guide includes mechanically separating a heat shield of a damaged fuel nozzle guide from an inner portion of the fuel nozzle guide, manufacturing a replacement heat shield for the damaged fuel nozzle guide, and joining the replacement heat shield to the inner portion of the fuel nozzle guide.

A tie shaft assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a compressor tie shaft that has an upstream end and a downstream end. The downstream end includes a radially outer threaded surface and a radially inner threaded surface. A turbine tie shaft has an upstream end with a radially outer threaded surface in engagement with the radially inner threaded surface on the compressor tie shaft.

A fuel injector for a gas turbine engine includes a fuel inlet fitting for receiving fuel, with a feed arm mounted to the inlet. The feed arm has a lattice support structure. The lattice support structure may include a plurality of three-dimensional elements, a first conduit, and a second conduit in fluid communication with the inlet for conveying fuel from the inlet fitting through the feed arm, wherein the conduits are intertwined with each other, and a nozzle body operatively connected to the feed arm for injecting fuel from the conduits into a combustor of the gas turbine engine.

A method of repairing a component of a gas turbine engine in situ, wherein the component includes a deposit, includes directing a flow of gas, which may be an oxygen-containing gas, to the deposit of the component; and heating the component including the deposit while the component is installed in the gas turbine engine and for a duration sufficient to substantially remove the deposit.

A combustor is provided with a combustion liner (12) in which a combustion gas flows through the inner peripheral side and a plurality of through-holes (14) are formed, and a sound attenuator (20) having a space-forming member (21) configured to form a space (S) connected to the plurality of through-holes (14) at the outer peripheral side of the combustion liner (12). The space-forming member has a main body having an opening configured to bring an outside and the space in communication with each other, and a lid joined to an outer surface of the main body via a welded portion and configured to protrude outward and close the opening.

A combustor is provided with a combustion liner (12) in which a combustion gas flows through the inner peripheral side and a plurality of through-holes (14) are formed, and a sound attenuator (20) having a space-forming member (21) configured to form a space (S) connected to the plurality of through-holes (14) at the outer peripheral side of the combustion liner (12). A method of repairing a combustor involves executing: an opening step of opening a portion of the space-forming member (21) in contact with the outside and bringing the outside and the space (S) in communication with each other; a cylinder repair step of repairing the combustion liner (12); a foreign substance removal step of removing foreign substances in the space (S) from the opening (23) opened in the opening step to the outside, after the cylinder repair step; and a closing step of closing the opening (23) using a lid (24), after the foreign substance removal step.

A tool for repairing an out-of-round component such as a combustor body is disclosed. The tool includes a base including a first arcuate member; a second arcuate member; and a linear actuator coupling the second arcuate member to the base. The linear actuator moves the second arcuate member between a retracted position out of engagement with the out-of-round component and an extended position in which the first arcuate member and the second arcuate member engage an interior surface of the out-of-round component in an opposing relationship to force the out-of-round component into a more round state compared to an initial state of the out-of-round component. A related method is also disclosed.
