A method of applying an abrasive coating including applying a metallic based bond coat layer onto a substrate; grading an intermediate layer into the metallic based bond coat layer to form a graded transition between the metallic based bond coat layer and the intermediate layer; and grading a top layer into the intermediate layer to form a graded transition between the intermediate layer and the top layer.

A combustion chamber suitable in particular for use in an engine comprises a combustion space, a combustion space wall delimiting the combustion space, and a plurality of cooling channel webs extending from a surface of the combustion space wall which faces away from the combustion space and separating mutually adjacent cooling channels from one another. The cooling channel webs are each provided with a projection extending from an end face of the cooling channel webs which faces away from the combustion space. Furthermore, the combustion chamber comprises a plurality of cover elements, wherein each cover element extends along a longitudinal axis of a cooling channel delimited by two mutually adjacent cooling channel webs between the projections of the mutually adjacent cooling channel webs and is form-fittingly connected to the projections of the two mutually adjacent cooling channel webs in order to cover the cooling channel.

A steam valve includes a valve body having a valve seat in a steam channel, a valve stem configured to close the steam channel by coming in contact with the valve seat and to open the steam channel by moving from the valve seat and a guide portion configured to slidably guide the valve stem in a moving direction thereof. The guide portion has a guide body that encloses the valve stem from a radial outer side of the valve stem and a guide bush that is detachably fixed inside the guide body, has an inner surface which abuts and slides on an outer circumferential surface of the valve stem, and is formed of a material having corrosion resistance.

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.

A synthetic jet for a stationary vane for a turbo-machine is disclosed. The synthetic jet includes a backside cavity and a jet cavity. The jet cavity includes a frontside cavity adjoining the backside cavity and a jet passage extending from a fluid stream interfacing surface of the airfoil towards the frontside cavity. The jet passage is in flow communication with the frontside cavity. The synthetic jet also includes a disk located between the backside cavity and the frontside cavity. The disk includes a cylindrical disk and a coating on each side of the cylindrical disk. The coating is a piezo electric ceramic material.

A gas turbine arrangement, including a gas generator section (A), a power turbine section (B), and a generator section (C) coupled on a common shaft (10). The power turbine has its bearing block (12) provided with a copper cooling cup (9), which possesses a high thermal conductivity and conveys heat flux away from the side and block of the bearing and which has a design that enables the effect of a penetrating airflow.

A bearing pad for a tilting-pad bearing includes a first member having a bearing surface and a second member disposed on a back surface side of the first member. At least one of a back surface of the first member or a front surface of the second member facing the back surface of the first member has a recess for forming a cavity between the first member and the second member. Preferably, the bearing pad further includes a support member disposed on a back surface side of the second member and tiltably supporting the first member and the second member, and the recess is formed over at least a part of an installation range of the support member in a plan view of the bearing pad.
