An assembly for a turbomachine extending along an axis includes a combustion chamber having, at its downstream end, a downstream flange having a radially extending part. The assembly further includes a distributor disposed downstream of the combustion chamber and having a platform from which at least one vane extends radially. The platform includes an upstream flange extending radially and delimiting, with the radial part of the downstream flange disposed opposite it. An annular space for the circulation of cooling air opens into the combustion chamber at its radially internal end and has, at its radially external end, means of sealing attached to the distributor.

An apparatus is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine apparatus includes a turbine engine component that includes a sidewall and a cooling aperture. The cooling aperture includes an inlet, an outlet, a meter section, a diffuser section and a transition section between and fluidly coupled with the meter section and the diffuser section. The cooling aperture extends through the sidewall from the inlet to the outlet. The meter section is at the inlet. The diffuser section is at the outlet. The transition section is configured to accommodate lateral misalignment between the meter section and the diffuser section.

A manufacturing method is provided. During this method, a preform component is provided for a turbine engine. The preform component includes a substrate. A meter section of a cooling aperture is formed in the substrate. An internal coating is applied onto a surface of the meter section. An external coating is applied over the substrate. A diffuser section of the cooling aperture is formed in the external coating and the substrate to provide the cooling aperture.

A manufacturing method is provided during which a preform component for a turbine engine is provided. The preform component includes a substrate. An outer coating is applied over the substrate. A characteristic of the outer coating is determined. Instructions for forming a cooling aperture are revised based on the characteristic of the outer coating to provide revised instructions. The cooling aperture is formed in the outer coating and the substrate based on the revised instructions.

A manufacturing method is provided. During this method, a preform component is provided for a turbine engine. The preform component includes a substrate. A preform meter section and a preform diffuser section are formed in the substrate. An internal coating is applied to at least the preform meter section to provide a meter section of a cooling aperture. External coating material is applied over the substrate. The applying of the external coating material forms an external coating over the substrate. The applying of the external coating also builds up the external coating material within the preform diffuser section to form a diffuser section of the cooling aperture.

A manufacturing method is provided. During this method, a preform component is provided for a turbine engine. The preform component includes a substrate comprising electrically conductive material having an outer coating comprising non-electrically conductive material applied over a surface of the substrate. A preform aperture is formed in the preform component using an electrical discharge machining electrode. The preform aperture includes a meter section of a cooling aperture in the substrate. The preform aperture also includes a pilot hole in the outer coating. A diffuser section of the cooling aperture is formed in at least the outer coating using a second machining process.

This exit seal is for connecting an exit flange of a combustor and a shroud in a stator blade of a turbine. The exit seal is equipped with: a seal body that extends in a circumferential direction; and a lid member disposed at a circumferential end of the seal body. The seal body comprises one or more recessed sections that are recessed in a radial direction or in an axial direction and extend in the circumferential direction. At a position of the circumferential end of at least one recessed section among the one or more recessed sections, the lid member is disposed so as to overlap, in the axial direction and the radial direction, with a recessed space formed by the one recessed section.

A combustion cylinder mounting method, wherein a preparation step, a first contact maintenance step, a second contact maintenance step, and a combustion cylinder fixing step are executed. In the preparation step, a combustion cylinder mounting jig equipped with a spacer portion capable of maintaining a predetermined spacing between a first combustion cylinder and a second combustion cylinder adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction is prepared. In the first contact maintenance step, the spacer portion is brought into contact with the first combustion cylinder attached to the stationary portion of a casing. In the second contact maintenance step, the second combustion cylinder is brought into contact with the spacer portion. In the combustion cylinder fixing step, the second combustion cylinder is attached to the stationary portion while the first combustion cylinder and the second combustion cylinder are in contact with the spacer portion.
