Abstract:
Stationary airfoils configured to form an improved slip joint in bi-cast turbine engine components and the turbine engine components including the same are provided. The stationary airfoil for a bi-cast turbine engine component comprises a leading edge and a trailing edge interconnected by a pressure sidewall and a suction sidewall. An end portion is shaped with a pair of opposing flanges to form a slip joint with a shroud ring in the bi-cast turbine engine component and to define an interlocking feature. The slip joint permits radial movement of the stationary airfoil relative to the shroud ring due to thermal differential expansion and contraction.
