A stator vane arrangement for a turbomachine comprises a radially inner annular structure, a radially outer annular structure and a plurality of circumferentially spaced vanes extending radially between the inner annular structure and the outer annular structure. At least one of the vanes has a passage extending from the inner annular structure to the outer annular structure. The inner annular structure has at least one radially inwardly extending boss and each boss has a passage extending there-through. The passage in each boss is aligned with a corresponding passage in a vane. Each boss comprises a first portion having a first cross-sectional area and a second portion having a second cross-sectional area which is greater than the first cross-sectional area. The first portion of each boss is positioned between and interconnecting the second portion of the boss and the inner annular structure.

To provide a fuel nozzle for a gas turbine combustor, offering favorable durability and strength reliability. In a fuel nozzle for a gas turbine combustor, jetting fuel into a combustion chamber of the gas turbine combustor, the fuel nozzle is metallurgically and integrally bonded with a base plate that supports the fuel nozzle, and an interface between the fuel nozzle and the base plate includes a surface in which bonding is performed by a fusion joint or a brazing joint and an inside part in which bonding is performed by pressure bonding.

The present disclosure generally relates to methods for additive manufacturing (AM) that utilize integrated ribs to support thin walled annular structures. An annular wall fabricated using AM has a thickness less than 0.022 inches across a majority of a surface of the annular wall and a plurality of ribs having a thickness greater than 0.030 inches. The annular wall has a mean thickness less than 0.100 inches. The annular wall conforms to a surface of the component and a mean distance between the annular wall and the component is less than 0.080 inches.

A centrifugal fan frame structure includes a base plate and a plurality of side wall sections. The side wall sections are discontinuously formed along an outer periphery of the base plate through injection molding, such that a clearance is formed between any two adjacent side wall sections, and portions of the outer periphery of the base plate located corresponding to the clearances are not covered by any injection molded side wall section. And, the side wall sections and the base plate together define a receiving space between them. With the injection molded side wall sections being spaced along the outer periphery of the base plate, a wrapping force from the injection molded side wall sections is effectively reduced to prevent the base plate from structural deformation under the wrapping force.

An EMI attenuation device includes a housing stator, a fan rotor, and an electrical bridge therebetween. The housing stator has an aperture therethrough, and at least a portion of the housing stator is electrically conductive. The fan rotor is adjacent to the aperture and has a rotational axis relative to the housing stator and a proximate surface proximate the housing stator. The fan rotor is electrically conductive, and the proximate surface is continuous around a rotational direction of the fan rotor. The electrical bridge is between the proximate surface of the fan rotor and a contact surface of the housing stator.

A process for manufacturing a preformed sheet having geometric surface features for a geometrically segmented abradable ceramic thermal barrier coating on a turbine engine component, the process comprising the steps of providing a preformed sheet material. The process includes forming a partially of geometric surface features in the sheet material. The process includes joining the sheet material to a substrate of the turbine engine component. The process includes disposing a thermally insulating topcoat over the geometric surface features and forming segmented portions that are separated by faults extending through the thermally insulating topcoat from the geometric surface features.

A containment system for a gas turbine engine includes an outer containment ring having a first projection that extends radially inward and an inner containment ring having at least a second projection that extends radially outward toward the outer containment ring. The second projection is offset and spaced apart from the first projection to define a chamber in a first state. The containment system includes a lattice defined within the chamber that spans the chamber, and the lattice is integrally formed with each of the outer containment ring and the inner containment ring. A density of the lattice varies in at least one of an axial direction and a radial direction. The second projection is configured to interlock with the first projection in a second state.

A turbine rotor disk and a method of making the turbine rotor disk using solid state bonding techniques are disclosed. The turbine rotor disk includes a radially inner portion comprising a wrought nickel alloy having a yield strength of at least 126 ksi at 1,000° F. The turbine rotor disk also includes a radially outer portion bonded to the radially inner portion, said radially outer portion comprising a cast nickel alloy configured as a single crystal or with a grain size of ASTM 2 or larger.

Provided is a waterproof fan which includes: a rotor; a stator including a winding; a circuit board supplying power to the winding; a resin frame including an undersurface located on one side of a rotation axis of a rotor, and a housing space opening on the other side of the rotation axis, to house the circuit board; a waterproofing resin portion covering the stator and closing an opening of the housing space; a bearing rotatably supporting the rotating shaft portion; and a cylindrical metal bearing holder extending along the rotation axis and supporting the bearing, in which the frame includes a tubular holder protection portion extending from the undersurface to the other side of the rotation axis and covering at least a part of an outer peripheral surface of the bearing holder, and the holder protection portion separates the stator from the bearing holder.
