Abstract: A method of altering a surface of a ceramic matrix composite to aid in nodule removal is described. A fiber preform comprising a framework of ceramic fibers is heated to a temperature at or above a melting temperature of silicon. During the heating, the fiber preform is infiltrated with a molten material comprising silicon. After the infiltration, the fiber preform is cooled, and the infiltrated fiber preform is exposed to a gas comprising nitrogen during cooling. Silicon nitride may be formed by a reaction of free (unreacted) silicon at or near the surface of the infiltrated fiber preform with the nitrogen. Thus, a ceramic matrix composite having a surface configured for easy nodule removal is formed. Any silicon nodules formed on the surface during cooling may be removed without machining or heat treatment.

Abstract: An airfoil assembly for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil extending radially relative to a central reference axis. A spar is located within the airfoil and spaced from the airfoil at all radial locations along the airfoil such that a gap is maintained between the airfoil and the spar. A foam is located between the airfoil and the spar.

Abstract: A bladed disk preform system is provided. Multiple sheets are formed or provided. Each of the sheets may include multiple ceramic fibers. Slots may be cut in each of the sheets before or after forming. The slots extend from an outer edge of the sheets inward toward a center of the sheets. The sheets are stacked on top of each other to form a bladed disk preform. The bladed disk preform is porous. The bladed disk preform may include a plurality of blade portions extending outward from a root portion. Each of the slots is positioned between adjacent blade portions.

Abstract: A system and method for forming a porous ceramic preform is provided. The method may include forming a stacked powder structure including a binder layer and a powder layer on the binder layer. The binder layer may be formed by depositing a binder with a spray nozzle on a substrate. The powder layer may be formed by depositing a powder on the binder layer. The porous ceramic preform may be formed by heating the stacked powder structure to pyrolyze the binder. The porous ceramic preform is configured to be infiltrated by a molten material. The substrate may comprise a ceramic fiber preform. After melt infiltration of the porous ceramic preform and the ceramic fiber preform, a densified ceramic feature having a predetermined geometry may be formed on a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component.

Abstract: A method of making a ceramic matrix composite that exhibits chemical resistance has been developed. The method comprises depositing a compliant layer comprising boron nitride, silicon-doped boron nitride, and/or pyrolytic carbon on silicon carbide fibers, depositing a barrier layer having a high contact angle with molten silicon on the compliant layer, and depositing a wetting layer comprising silicon carbide, boron carbide, and/or pyrolytic carbon on the barrier layer. After depositing the wetting layer, a fiber preform comprising the silicon carbide fibers is infiltrated with a slurry. After slurry infiltration, the fiber preform is infiltrated with a melt comprising silicon, and then the melt is cooled, thereby forming a ceramic matrix composite.

Abstract: A method of making a ceramic matrix composite that exhibits moisture and environmental resistance has been developed. The method includes depositing a diffusion barrier layer comprising boron nitride on silicon carbide fibers and depositing a moisture-tolerant layer comprising silicon-doped boron nitride on the diffusion barrier layer, where a thickness of the moisture-tolerant layer is from about 3 to about 300 times a thickness of the diffusion barrier layer. Thus, a compliant multilayer including the moisture-tolerant layer and the diffusion barrier layer is formed. A wetting layer comprising silicon carbide, boron carbide, and/or pyrolytic carbon is deposited on the compliant multilayer layer. After depositing the wetting layer, a fiber preform comprising the silicon carbide fibers is infiltrated with a slurry. After slurry infiltration, the fiber preform is infiltrated with a melt comprising silicon and then the melt is cooled, thereby forming a ceramic matrix composite.
