    Abstract: A blade includes an airfoil section extending between leading and trailing edges, first and second opposed sides each joining the leading and trailing edges, and an inner end and a free tip end. The airfoil section is formed of a metal-based material with a polymeric overcoat on at least one of the leading edge, trailing edge, first side and second side. The airfoil section includes an abrasive tip at the free tip end. The abrasive tip has a composition selected with respect to heat-induced delamination of the polymeric overcoat from frictional heat generated during rubbing of the abrasive tip.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes an inlet duct, a compressor section, a combustor section, and a turbine section connected to drive the compressor section. The compressor section includes circumferentially-spaced blades having abrasive blade tips. A seal is disposed radially outwards of the blades. The seal includes a substrate that has a substrate hardness, an abradable layer that has an abradable layer hardness, and a hard interlayer between the substrate and the abradable layer. The hard interlayer has an interlayer hardness that is higher than the abradable layer hardness and higher than the substrate hardness.
