Abstract:
Various embodiments include gas turbine seals and methods of forming such seals. In some cases, a turbine includes: a first arc segment adjacent to a second arc segment, each arc segment including an end surface and radially facing surfaces extending from opposite ends of the end surface; a slot located between the end surfaces of the first arc segment and the second arc segment; and a first seal disposed in the slot, the first seal contacting the first arc segment at the end surface and extending over the radially facing surfaces of the first arc segment, the first seal including: a shim contacting the first arc segment; a laminate material over the shim and covering the shim; and a conforming material coupling the laminate material to the shim.
