摘要:
A vane (60) for use in a gas turbine engine has a platform (64) connected to an airfoil (66). There is a cooling passage (68) for supplying cooling air to the platform (64). A cooling chamber (74) supplies cooling air to a plurality of cooling slots (86) at the platform (64). The cooling slots (86) have a non-uniform cross section.

A casting core assembly includes a metallic core (28) and a ceramic core (26). The process for forming the casting core assembly includes inserting a ceramic plug (140) of a metallic core and ceramic plug core subassembly into a compartment (160) of the ceramic core (26). The ceramic plug (140) is secured to the ceramic core (26), preferably by a ceramic adhesive.
摘要:
A segmented component (12, 14) for use with a gas turbine engine comprises a radially extending gas path portion (12B). The gas path portion is for interacting with gas flow from the gas turbine engine. The component is divided into axially aligned segments comprising a forward segment (24A), an aft segment (24B), and a plurality of middle segments (24C) disposed between the forward segment and the aft segment. The middle segments comprise radially elongate ceramic matrix composite material plates. In one embodiment, the gas path portion comprises an airfoil for a turbine blade. In another embodiment, the gas path portion comprises a removable platform for a turbine blade. In another embodiment, the gas path portion comprises an airfoil for a turbine vane.

A hybrid core assembly (46) for a casting process includes a ceramic core portion (48), a refractory metal core portion (50) and a plate (62) positioned between the ceramic core portion (48) and the refractory metal core portion (50). The ceramic core portion (48) includes a trough (56). A portion of the refractory metal core portion (50) is received in the trough (56).
摘要:
A nozzle assembly for directing cooling fluid in a vane (10) comprising a hollow airfoil (12) containing at least two cooling chambers (34;36). The chambers (34,36) are separated by a generally radial rib (35). A metering plate mount (56) is attached to the rib (35). A metering plate (70), having at least one aperture (76) for tuning the cooling fluid flow within the airfoil (12), is adjacent the metering plate mount (56).
摘要:
Cooling air manifold splash plates and gas turbine engine systems involving such splash plates are provided. In this regard, a representative cooling air manifold splash plate (124) includes: a base (140) having an aperture (144); and an air deflector (128) supported by the base, the air deflector being positioned relative to the base to receive, from the aperture, a radial flow of gas turbine engine cooling air, the air deflector being operative to redirect at least some of the air received circumferentially.
摘要:
A turbine component is formed of at least a plurality of adjacent turbine subcomponents (30). Each turbine component (30) has a mate face (32) secured to the mate face (32) of an opposed turbine subcomponent (30). A wedge member is positioned between the mate faces (32) of the turbine subcomponents (30). A braze material (47) is between outer faces of the wedge (40) and the mate faces (32) of each of the turbine subcomponents (30).
摘要:
A method and casting core (310) for forming a landing (13) for welding a baffle (40) inserted into an airfoil (20) are disclosed. The baffle landing (13) of the blade or vane is formed in investment casting by the casting core (310) rather than by wax, reducing tolerances and variability in the location of the baffle (40) inserted into the cooling cavity (30) of airfoil (20) when the baffle (40) is welded to the baffle landing (13).
摘要:
A seal assembly includes a body (46) having two circumferential sides, a leading end, and a trailing end. At least one of the circumferential sides includes a first channel sidewall (60), a second channel sidewall (62), and a channel bottom wall that together define a seal channel for receiving a seal (79). The seal channel includes a slot that cooperates with a tab (78) on the seal to facilitate securing the seal within the seal channel.
