Abstract: A method of producing a ceramic matrix composite including a protective ceramic coating thereon comprises applying a surface slurry onto an outer surface of an impregnated fiber preform. The surface slurry includes particulate ceramic solids dispersed in a flowable preceramic polymer comprising silicon, and the impregnated fiber preform comprises a framework of ceramic fibers loaded with particulate matter. The flowable preceramic polymer is cured, thereby forming on the outer surface a composite layer comprising a cured preceramic polymer with the particulate ceramic solids dispersed therein. The cured preceramic polymer is then pyrolyzed to form a porous ceramic layer comprising silicon carbide, and the impregnated fiber preform and the porous ceramic layer are infiltrated with a molten material comprising silicon. After infiltration, the molten material is cooled to form a ceramic matrix composite body with a protective ceramic coating thereon.

Abstract: A component for use in a gas turbine engine includes a component body, and a damage-indicative coating. The damage-indicative coating is configured to change from an intact state in which the damage-indicative coating has a first appearance to a damaged state in which the damage-indicative coating has a second appearance.

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: A turbine vane comprising ceramic matrix composite materials. The turbine vane includes an vane support core, an airfoil, and a pair of end walls that are spaced apart from one another to define a gas path. The turbine vane is formed from a plurality of ceramic plies or preforms that are infiltrated with ceramic matrix material to form a one-piece ceramic matrix composite turbine vane.

Abstract: An annular assembly for a gas turbine engine and a method of making the annular assembly. The annular assembly comprises a supporting member comprising metal and including a support hole therethrough, and a liner tile made of ceramic matrix composite material. A plurality of the liner tile form an annular liner to shield hot combustion gases produced by the gas turbine engine. The liner tile is disposed adjacent the supporting member. A connecting member comprising ceramic material has a base element and a stem. The base element is embedded in the liner tile during construction of the liner tile to form an integrated structure therewith. A distal end of the stem passes through the support hole and is mated with a retaining member to retain the liner tile adjacent the supporting member.

Abstract: A method of processing a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component includes extracting silicon from a surface region of the CMC component such that free silicon is present in the surface region at a reduced amount of about 5 vol. % or less. The extraction comprises contacting the surface region with a wicking medium comprising an element reactive with silicon. The extraction is carried out at an elevated temperature prior to assembling the CMC component with a metal component.
