Turbine nozzles (110) and cooling systems for cooling slip joints (206) therein are provided. The turbine nozzle has an endwall (103), a vane (102) coupled to the endwall, a slip joint (206), and a plurality of airfoil quenching holes (160) that cooperate with a plurality of endwall cooling holes (150). The vane comprises a leading edge (126) and a trailing edge (128) interconnected by a pressure sidewall (122) and a suction sidewall (128) and an end portion (140). The slip joint (206) is between the end portion(140) and the endwall (103). The airfoil quenching holes (160) are defined through the pressure sidewall (122) in the end portion. The endwall cooling holes (150) are defined through the endwall along the pressure sidewall (122) and in proximity to the leading edge (126). The airfoil quenching holes (160) and endwall cooling holes (150) are disposed adjacent the slip joint (150).

A turbine section includes a stator assembly having an inner diameter end wall, an outer diameter end wall, and a stator vane; a turbine rotor assembly including a rotor blade extending into the mainstream gas flow path; a housing including an annular shroud that circumscribes the rotor blade and at least partially defines the mainstream hot gas flow path; a first baffle arranged to define a first cavity with the outer diameter end wall of the stator assembly; a second baffle; and a third baffle arranged to define a second cavity with the second baffle and a third cavity with the shroud. The first cavity is fluidly coupled to the second cavity and the second cavity is fluidly coupled to the third cavity such that cooling air flows from the first cavity to the second cavity and from the second cavity to the third cavity.

Embodiments of a gas turbine engine component (60) having sealed stress relief slots are provided, as are embodiments of a gas turbine engine (20) containing such a component. In one embodiment, the gas turbine engine includes a core gas flow path (92), a secondary cooling flow path (94), and a turbine nozzle or other gas turbine engine component. The component includes, in turn, a component body (62, 64, 66) through which the core gas flow path extends, a radially-extending wall (70) projecting from the component body and into the secondary cooling flow path, and one or more stress relief slots (74) formed in the radially-extending wall. The stress relief slots are filled with a high temperature sealing material (104), which impedes leakage between the second cooling and core gas flow paths and which fractures to alleviate thermomechanical stress within the radially-extending wall during gas turbine engine operation.

Embodiments of a turbine nozzle assembly (58) are provided for deployment within a gas turbine engine (GTE 20) including a first GTE-nozzle mounting interface (101). In one embodiment, the turbine nozzle assembly includes a turbine nozzle flowbody, a first mounting flange (98) configured to be mounted to the first GTE-nozzle mounting interface, and a first radially-compliant spring member (131) coupled between the turbine nozzle flowbody and the first mounting flange (98). The turbine nozzle flowbody has an inner nozzle endwall (92) and an outer nozzle endwall (90), which is fixedly coupled to the inner nozzle endwall (92) and which cooperates therewith to define a flow passage (96) through the turbine nozzle flowbody. The first radially-compliant spring member (131) accommodates relative thermal movement between the turbine nozzle flowbody and the first mounting flange (98) to alleviate thermomechanical stress during operation of the GTE (20).

Turbine nozzles (20) having slip joints (79) impregnated by oxidation-resistant sealing materials (118) are provided, as methods (130) for producing such turbine nozzles. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a support ring (60), a slip joint ring (62) substantially concentric with the support ring and radially spaced apart therefrom, and a plurality of vanes (64) fixedly coupled to the support ring. The plurality of vanes extends radially from the support ring into a plurality of circumferentially-spaced slots (78) provided in the slip joint ring to form a plurality of slip joints therewith. The plurality of slip joints are impregnated (118) with a silicon-modified aluminide sealing material. The silicon-modified aluminide sealing material impedes gas flow into the radial slip joints during turbine nozzle operation, while also fracturing to permit relative radial movement between the plurality of vanes and the slip joint ring along the plurality of slip joints.
