A steam turbine member has suppressed adhesion of scale for a long time without deterioration of corrosion resistance and the like of a turbine. A steam turbine member includes a hard layer 2 and a deposited amorphous carbon film 3 on a base material 1, in that order.

A high-temperature component including a plurality of cooling passages through which the cooling medium can flow, a header connected to respective downstream ends of the plurality of cooling passages, and one or more outlet passages for discharging the cooling medium flowing into the header to outside of the header. The one or more outlet passages are less in number than the plurality of cooling passages. Respective minimum flow passage cross-sectional areas of the one or more outlet passages are not less than respective flow passage cross-sectional areas of the plurality of cooling passages in a connection between the header and the cooling passages. A sum of the respective minimum flow passage cross-sectional areas of the one or more outlet passages is less than a sum of the respective flow passage cross-sectional areas of the plurality of cooling passages in the connection between the header and the cooling passages.

Systems and methods include providing a stator vane bushing for a variable stator vane assembly having a movable stator vane and a stator vane housing disposed annularly about the movable stator vane. The bushing includes a flange, a barrel extending from the flange, and a central aperture extending through the flange and the barrel and is disposed in the housing and annularly about the stator vane. The bushing is formed from a ceramic material having a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) lower than or equal to a CTE of one or more of a stator vane and a housing of the variable stator vane assembly.

A mechanical part for an aircraft turbomachine is made of metal and includes at least one profiled surface configured to ensure an oil flow during operation. The surface has a hydrophobic and/or lipophobic coating or a surface texturing rendering the surface hydrophobic and/or lipophobic.

A water pump with an impeller driven by an electrical machine comprising a housing cap and a volute with an inlet) and an outlet and a boot hosting a stator and a rotor of the electrical machine, wherein the rotor is mounted on a fixed shaft in the water pump having a bushing rotatable mounted on the shaft.

In some examples, the disclosure describes an article and a method of making the same that includes a substrate defining an outer surface, a barrier layer on the outer surface of the substrate, the barrier layer defining a textured surface having a plurality of cells, each cell having a geometry and a depth, and an overlying layer formed on the textured surface of the barrier layer. The barrier layer may be configured to reduce migration of material from the substrate to the overlaying layer to reduce or prevent formation of cristobalite phase thermally grown oxide.

A process for manufacturing a turbomachine part coated with a thermal barrier, includes manufacturing the part by additive manufacture; electrophoretic depositing the part of a layer including particles of a ceramic material; consolidating the layer by heat treatment to obtain a ceramic coating.
