The bearing arrangement includes a one-piece gas bearing sleeve (32) configured to rotatably support the drive shaft (4) and made in molybdenum or in a molybdenum alloy, the one-piece gas bearing sleeve (32) including a radial bearing surface (33) configured to Surround the drive shaft (4).

A blade has an attachment root and an airfoil, the airfoil having a proximal end and a distal end. The blade has a compositional variation along the airfoil.

An airfoil vane includes an outer ceramic wall that defines an airfoil section and a cavity that extends through the airfoil section. A jumper tube is disposed in the cavity for transferring cooling air. The jumper tube includes a wall, a through-passage circumscribed by the wall, and a thermal barrier coating disposed on the wall.

A component according to the disclosure may include a body having an aperture therein for receiving one of a turbomachine shaft or a lathe chuck, wherein in response to the body being coupled to the lathe chuck, the aperture is oriented substantially axially relative to an axis of rotation of the body with the lathe chuck; and a flange coupled to and in direct axial contact with the body, the flange including a surface that extends axially relative to the axis of rotation of the body, wherein the surface of the flange comprises a matingly engageable face configured to contact an axially aligned surface during operation of the component and having a sanding indentation thereon, wherein a surface roughness of the surface of the flange is less than a surface roughness of a remainder of the component.

The present invention relates to a density-optimized and high temperature-resistant alloy based on molybdenum-sili-con-boron, wherein vanadium is added to the base alloy in order to reduce the density.

There is disclosed a bearing housing for a turbocharger. The bearing housing comprises a body and a mounting flange. The body is configured to receive one or more bearings. The one or more bearings are configured to support rotation of a shaft about an axis. The mounting flange extends around the body. The mounting flange comprises a plurality of bores, a first face and a plurality of cavities. The plurality of bores configured to receive a fastener therethrough. The first face is configured to engage a corresponding mounting flange of a turbine housing. The plurality of cavities are in communication with the plurality of bores. The plurality of cavities are axially recessed relative to the first face.

A seal system for a gas turbine engine includes a seal runner manufactured of a Molybdenum alloy material that provides a first coefficient of thermal expansion and a seal ring manufactured of a graphitic material that provides a second coefficient of thermal expansion greater than the first coefficient of thermal expansion.

A method for repairing a component is provided, including the following steps: introducing a recess into the component, via which recess a damaged region in the component is removed; positioning a filler body in the recess; and fixedly, i.e. non-detachably, connecting the filler body to the component, wherein the filler body is provisionally secured to the component prior to establishing the fixed connection to the component, in that a securing element is placed over the filler body and the securing element is attached to the component, wherein the securing element is removed again after the establishing of the fixed connection between the filler body and the component.

When a compressor vane or blade for an engine is used in an environment containing abundant foreign substances, deposits originated from the foreign substances are likely to deposit on surfaces of the vane or blade. The compressor vane or blade according to the present disclosure has a base body of the compressor vane or blade; and a coating covering the base body, which consists essentially of one or more selected from the group of molybdenum disulfide and tungsten disulfide.

A coating for a blade root/disk interface includes a layer of soft metal matrix, and a solid lubricant distributed through the soft metal matrix. Examples of materials include CuAl as the soft metal matrix and MoS.sub.2 as the solid lubricant, although others are also disclosed.
