Co-molded metallic fan case containment ring
A method of fabricating a fan case for a gas turbine engine defines a metallic ring including an outer surface and an inner surface. A first composite material is assembled about the outer surface of the metallic ring. A second composite material is assembled about the first composite material. The first composite material and the second material are cured about the metallic ring within a tool to form a first subassembly. The first subassembly is removed from the tool. A fan case assembly for a gas turbine engine and a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.
APPLYING SILICON METAL-CONTAINING BOND LAYER TO CERAMIC OR CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITE SUBSTRATES
In some examples, a method may include depositing, from a slurry comprising particles including silicon metal, a bond coat precursor layer including the particles comprising silicon metal directly on a ceramic matrix composite substrate. The method also may include locally heating the bond coat precursor layer to form a bond coat comprising silicon metal. Additionally, the method may include forming a protective coating on the bond coat. In some examples, an article may include a ceramic matrix composite substrate, a bond coat directly on the substrate, and a protective coating on the bond coat. The bond coat may include silicon metal and a metal comprising at least one of Zr, Y, Yb, Hf, Ti, Al, Cr, Mo, Nb, Ta, or a rare earth metal.

Repair of monocrystalline flow channel segments by monocrystalline remelting
The invention relates to a method for repairing flow channel segments of a turbomachine. The method comprises providing a monocrystalline or directionally solidified flow channel segment whose length and width extend along the flow channel, each being greater than the thickness thereof, and whose width and length delimit a surface which constitutes a bounding surface of a flow channel and has damage, cleaning the bounding surface to remove impurities, remelting at least a part of the bounding surface in a surface region so that melted material solidifies epitaxially in an inner region facing toward the unmelted material and forms a structural region in which the monocrystalline or directionally solidified structure is preserved, and that melted material solidifies in a polycrystalline fashion in an outer region which faces toward the flow channel and forms an edge region, and removing the edge region.
