Compressor abradable material seal with tailored wear ratio and desirable erosion resistance
Abstract:
What is described is a wear resistant seal system that is adapted for resisting wear of a rotating part in a gas turbine engine as it rotates against a stationary part in the engine. The system includes an axially rotable member including an abrasive tip having a first tensile strength. The system also includes a stationary structure radially exterior and adjacent to the rotable member and including an abradable material. The abradable material includes a matrix material having a second tensile strength that, at least in a first temperature range, is lower than the first tensile strength and a filler material interspersed with the matrix material.
