Abstract:
A mask for masking a component at an annular boundary comprises a wall (90, 92) having an inner first rim portion having a first inner diameter (D1) and an outward rebate (140) adjacent the first rim portion.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for manufacturing a blade tip coating. The blade tip coating (152) comprising an abrasive (156) and a matrix (154). The method comprises forming a mixture comprising the abrasive, a precursor of the matrix, and an additional particulate (158). The mixture is pressed, the additional particulate acting as a stop to limit thickness reduction of the mixture.
Abstract:
A method includes forming a ceramic member that has a plurality of closed pores within a ceramic matrix. The forming includes compacting a ceramic powder to form intra-particle pores between particles of the ceramic powder, and sintering the compacted ceramic powder to cause diffusion of the ceramic powder and formation of the ceramic matrix. The diffusion does not fill the intra-particle pores and leaves the closed pores.
Abstract:
A rotating component includes an airfoil section with a free end, the airfoil section being formed of a composite core with a metallic skin and an abrasive coating applied to the free end.
Abstract:
A method comprises: thermal spray (416) of a first ceramic layer; sol infiltration (420) of ceramic particles into the first ceramic layer; and after the sol infiltration, thermal spray (434) of a second ceramic layer atop the first ceramic layer.
Abstract:
A corrosion resistant aluminum alloy abradable coating for use as a seal material consists of a porous base metal alloy layer containing corrosion inhibiting metal compounds dispersed throughout the porous base metal alloy layer. A method of forming a corrosion resistant aluminum alloy abradable coating consists of co-thermal spraying aluminum alloy powder plus polymer powder and particles containing corrosion inhibiting metal compounds.
Abstract:
A seal is formed of a matrix and includes hard particles. The matrix has a shear strength of greater than or equal to 200 psi and less than or equal to 2000 psi. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an abrasive coating forming a seal material on components of gas turbine engines and a process for forming the abrasive coating. The abrasive coating may be applied to a structure in proximity to at least one section of the gas turbine engine having a plurality of airfoils. The abrasive coating in a first mode of operation of the gas turbine engine is capable of causing wearing of tips of the airfoils that come into contact with the abrasive coating and in a second mode of operation of the gas turbine engine has an interparticle strength sufficient to allow for fracture of the abrasive coating.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a gas turbine engine air seal comprising forming at least one MAX phase particle. The method includes coating the at least one MAX phase particle with a metallic shell. The method includes applying the at least one MAX phase metallic coated particle to a surface of a substrate of the air seal to form an abradable layer of a MAXMET composite abradable material from the at least on MAX phase metallic coated particle.
Abstract:
A method of locating a surface feature for a geometrically segmented coating on a contoured surface comprising providing an article having a contoured surface; overlaying an assembly of ligaments on the contoured surface; and locating a surface feature at a predetermined location relative to each ligament.
