A fibrous preform (1) is produced, provided with a sandwich structure comprising an intermediate flexible core (4) and two outer fibrous frames (2, 3), respectively arranged on opposing outer faces of said flexible core (4) and assembled by sections of wire (8, 9) passing through said fibrous frames (2, 3), said preform (1) being impregnated with resin. Said preform is then hardened and the core (4) is removed, preferably by pre-densification with chemical vapour infiltration, and the structure produced is then densified with liquid-phase infiltration.

An airfoil comprises a wall that defines a leading edge and a trailing edge and one or more cavities located within the wall along with a rib that separates the cavities. The rib or the wall comprises a first split ply that comprises a consolidated section and two or more split sections; wherein the split sections emanate from the consolidated section; and where the split sections define the wall and the cavities of the airfoil.

The invention relates to a method for producing a component from ceramic materials in which a plurality of layers are applied to a base body by means of screen printing or template printing, said layers being formed from a ceramic material, in each case in a defined geometry above one another in the form of a paste or suspension in which powdery ceramic material and at least one binder are included. At least one region is formed here within at least one layer having a defined thickness and geometry composed of a further material that can be removed in a thermal treatment and that is likewise applied in the form of a paste or suspension by means of screen printing or template printing. Electrically functional structures composed of an electrically conductive or semiconductive material are applied to and/or formed on and/or in at least of the ceramic layers prior to the application of a further ceramic layer. The layer structure is then sintered in a thermal heat treatment, with the further material being removed and at least one hollow space being formed with defined dimensions of width, length, and height.

The invention relates to a ceramic molded article (1) that has recesses (2) and comprises at least two plates (joined parts) (3) made of a ceramic material, i.e. a lower base plate (9), an upper cover plate (8) and, optionally, one or more intermediate plates (7) which are stacked on top of each other and are joined to each other on the surfaces thereof to form the molded article (1); a joining material (paste) is placed between the plates (joined parts) (3).

A method of manufacturing a gas turbine engine component (10) and the component so formed. The method includes: stacking a plurality of CMC layers (16) along a metal core (30) to form a stack of disconnected CMC layers, wherein adjacent edge faces (46) of the layers define a surface (44); additively depositing ceramic material (14) to only selected portions of the surface (44) to bond together at least some of the layers at their respective edge faces; and selecting locations for the depositing of the ceramic material to achieve a predetermined mechanical characteristic of the resulting component.
