Abstract: A fuel injector provided for gas turbine engine has a nozzle including pilot fuel and mains fuel discharge orifice's for respectively spraying pilot and mains fuel flows into a combustor of the engine. The injector further has a feed arm extending to the nozzle for feeding fuel to the pilot and mains discharge orifices from pilot and mains supplies respectively. The nozzle and the feed arm contain one or more pilot passages for flow of the pilot fuel flow from the pilot supply to the pilot discharge orifice and one or more mains passages for flow of the mains fuel flow from the mains supply to the mains discharge orifice. The nozzle and the feed arm contain a plurality of the pilot passages and/or a plurality of the mains passages. The pilot and the mains passages intertwine repeatedly, and are both smoothly curved as they intertwine around each other.

Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a component of defined geometry from two or more materials using a powder bed ALM process includes providing a bed of a first powdered material, selectively fusing portions of the first powdered material to build up a first three dimensional portion of the component geometry and fusing a powder containment bund from the first material to contain unfused first powdered material. A bed of a second powdered material is deposited onto the powder containment bund and selectively fused to build up a second three dimensional portion of the component geometry. Unfused first powdered material can subsequently be removed from a first side of the bund and unfused second powder from a second side of the bund. Remaining parts of the bund which do not form part of the defined geometry of the component can be removed to provide the net shape component.

Abstract: The manufacture of a casing which has a boss includes providing two canister portions a first defining an outer wall geometry of a casing including a boss and a second defining an inner wall geometry of the casing. The casing is made using known PHIP methods. The second canister portion includes an array of holes or recesses which, when the canister portions are aligned, face a recess on the first canister portion which defines the boss such that in the nett shape COS an array of pedestals is provided aligned with the boss. The dimension from an exposed end of a pedestal to an exposed surface of the boss is sufficient to receive a bolt thread of the minimum length required to secure a component to the boss.

Abstract: An energy source for an additive manufacturing arrangement comprises a workpiece and a powder delivery device. The energy source is characterised in that it comprises a plurality of discrete energy sources. The plurality of discrete energy sources may be coordinated in use to deliver energy simultaneously to a plurality of regions of the workpiece in a matrix form.

Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a component having a defined geometry and dimensions is described. In sequence, the steps of the method involve; a) using an additive layer manufacturing process, budding a three-dimensional net shape of the component; b) applying a subtractive surface finishing operation to the product of step a); c) applying a heat treatment to the product of step b) whereby to provide a component to the defined geometry and dimensions.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing an ALM process is described. A first energy beam source (1) provides an energy beam (1b) which selectively melts a substrate powder (3) into a melt pool. A second energy beam source (2) provides an energy beam (2b) to heat condition substrate powder proximate to the melt pool. The path of the second energy beam (2b) is controlled by a controller (6) to oscillate independently of the path followed by the first energy beam (1b). The method may be applied to control and optimise heating and cooling rates of the sintered substrate during the ALM process enabling its microstructure to be controlled to suit the end use of the product and reduce the occurrence of residual stresses and consequent crack propagation.
