    Abstract: A compressor assembly for a gas turbine engine comprising an outer case, a shroud arranged circumferentially around the axis to direct compressed air through an impeller, and an actuator coupled with the outer case and the shroud to vary the position of the shroud axially relative to the outer case. The actuator includes a mount arm, an actuator body, and a travel stop. The mount arm is coupled with the outer case. The actuator body is coupled with the mount arm and the shroud to control axial movement of the shroud relative to the outer case. The travel stop is coupled to the mount arm and extends away from the mound arm and is configured to limit a forward most axial position of the shroud relative to the outer case.

    Abstract: A compressor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a shroud assembly, an outer case assembly, and a plurality of locating bolt assemblies. The shroud assembly extends circumferentially around the engine axis. The outer case assembly includes an outer case that extends circumferentially around the axis and a plurality of fasteners that couple the shroud assembly with the outer case. The plurality of locating bolt assemblies extend into the outer case and abut the shroud assembly at a predetermined axial location to axially locate the shroud assembly.

    Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly includes a first shroud segment, a second shroud segment, and a seal assembly. The first shroud segment includes a first carrier segment arranged circumferentially at least partway around a central axis and a first blade track segment supported by the first carrier segment. The second shroud segment is arranged circumferentially adjacent the first shroud segment about the central axis. The seal assembly is configured to block gases from escaping the gas path radially between the first shroud segment and the second shroud segment.

    Abstract: A method of forming a bladder cast ceramic matrix composite (CMC) article including infiltrating a CMC substrate positioned in a cavity of a mold body with a slurry. The CMC substrate includes reinforcement material defining inner spaces. The slurry includes solid particles and a carrier material. During infiltration, the slurry at least partially fills at least a portion of the inner spaces of the CMC substrate. The method also includes inflating at least one bladder that is coupled to the mold body and disposed within the cavity such that a surface of the at least one bladder in an inflated configuration contacts at least one surface of the CMC substrate. The method also includes drying the slurry to remove at least a portion of the carrier material form an infiltrated CMC and deflating the at least one bladder.
