Turbine blade airfoil profile
A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine has an airfoil including leading and trailing edges joined by spaced-apart pressure and suction sides to provide an external airfoil surface extending from a platform in a spanwise direction to a tip. The external airfoil surface is formed in substantial conformance with multiple cross-sectional profiles of the airfoil defined by a set of Cartesian coordinates set forth in Table 1, the Cartesian coordinates provided by an axial coordinate scaled by a local axial chord, a circumferential coordinate scaled by a local axial chord, and a span location.
Silicon compositions containing boron and methods of forming the same
A composition is generally provided that includes a silicon-containing material (e.g., silicon metal and/or a silicide) and a boron-doped refractory compound, such as about 0.001% to about 85% by volume of the boron-doped refractory compound (e.g., about 1% to about 60% by volume). In one embodiment, a bond coating on a surface of a ceramic component is generally provided with the bond coating including such a composition, with the silicon-containing material is silicon metal.
STEAM TURBINE MEMBER
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.
Coating system having synthetic oxide layers
A coating system for a turbine engine component is disclosed. The coating system includes a substrate, an optional bond coat, a synthetic oxide layer and a top coat. The synthetic oxide layer is formed by atomic layer deposition and includes two or more oxides.
Variable pitch vane control ring bush retention foil and turbojet containing same
A flexible metal foil can be fixed on the inside part of a variable pitch vane control ring of a turbojet compressor, so as to close all through holes in which lever pins and their surrounding bushes are housed. As a result, the foil can retain the shank of the bush if the bush breaks. The use of such foil does not impose the development of a new model of control ring and its impact on the mass is small enough so that it does not affect engine performances. Therefore it avoids problems related to the breakage of bushes without having to make major changes to the existing system.
SPALL BREAK FOR TURBINE COMPONENT COATINGS
A turbine engine component can include a surface comprising at least one edge and a coating disposed upon the surface that can extend to the edge. A spall break can be disposed along a line upon the surface adjacent the edge to prevent spallation of the coating from spreading from the edge onto the surface beyond the spall break. The spall break can comprise a discontinuity of the coating. A method of coating a turbine component can include preparing a substrate to receive a coating and selecting a fail location along the substrate for a coating. One or more coating can be applied to the substrate and a spall break can be incorporated into the one or more coatings. The spall break can comprise a line of discontinuity in the one or more coatings along the fail location.
CERAMIC COMPONENT HAVING SILICON LAYER AND BARRIER LAYER
A seal system includes a ceramic component that has a non-core-gaspath surface region that defines a first surface roughness and a core gaspath surface region. A metallic component is situated adjacent the non-core-gaspath surface region. A coating system is disposed on the ceramic component. The coating system includes a silicon-containing layer on the non-core-gaspath surface region and a barrier layer that has a first section on the silicon-containing layer and a second section on the core-gaspath region and that is connected to the first section. The surface of the barrier layer has a second surface roughness that is less than the first surface roughness. The first section is in contact with the metallic component and the second section serves as an environmental barrier on the core-gaspath region.
Turbine component with bounded wear coat
A turbomachinery component with a surface that includes a bounded wear coat, the component includes: a body; a contact surface defined by the body; a recess extending into the body and communicating with the contact surface; and a wear coat positioned in the recess.
ROTOR FOR AN AIR SUPPLY UNIT OF A FUEL CELL UNIT, AND AIR SUPPLY UNIT FOR A FUEL CELL UNIT
The invention relates to a rotor (4) for an air supply unit (1) of a fuel cell unit, which rotor is to be rotatably mounted in a housing (5) of the air supply unit (1) by means of foil-air bearings (15, 16). According to the invention, at least portions of the rotor (4) are formed of a carbon graphite material or of a synthetic-resin-bonded carbon fiber material or coated therewith. The invention also relates to an air supply unit (1) having a rotor (4) of this type.
SLOTTED CERAMIC COATING WITH A REACTIVE PHASE COATING DISPOSED THEREON FOR IMPROVED CMAS RESISTANCE AND METHODS OF FORMING THE SAME
A coated component including a slotted ceramic coating with a reactive phase coating disposed thereon for improved resistance to environmental contaminant compositions, along with methods of its formation, is provided. The coated component may include a substrate defining a surface, a ceramic coating disposed on the surface of the substrate, and a reactive phase coating disposed on the layer of environmental contaminant compositions. The ceramic coating includes a plurality of slots disposed in the ceramic coating forming segments of ceramic coating material.
