摘要:
A rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine, with an annular sleeve having an inner member connected around the shaft to rotate together therewith and having an outer member with a first end connected to the inner member, the outer member defining an annular continuous frustoconical inner surface angled such as to extend closer to the central axis near the first end. A rotor disc includes an annular protuberance extending radially inwardly of the outer member and forced toward the first end, and having an annular continuous frustoconical outer surface complementary to the inner surface of the outer member and in torque-transmitting engagement therewith. The assembly includes means for axially pressing the sleeve and the disc against one another to maintain the complementary frustoconical surfaces in torque-transmitting engagement. A method of engaging a rotor disc to a driving shaft in a gas turbine engine is also provided.

A gas turbine engine having at least one spool assembly, the at least one spool assembly including a fan rotor, a compressor disposed downstream of the fan rotor, a turbine and a shaft connecting the fan rotor, compressor and turbine, a joint affixed to an upstream end of the shaft, and including a first link connecting the fan rotor to the shaft and a second link connecting the compressor to the shaft, the second link being less rigid then the first link.
摘要:
A method of applying a nanocrystalline coating to a gas turbine engine component is described. The method comprises the steps of applying an intermediate bond coat to at least a portion of the component, and then applying the nanocrystalline coating to at least the portion of the component overtop of the intermediate bond coat. The component may include, for example, a blade of which a dovetail portion of the blade root is protected by applying the intermediate bond coat and the nanocrystalline coating thereto.

A fan blade platform assembly comprises a plate insert shaped and dimensioned to span a gap formed between the opposed facing platforms of adjacent fan blades of a turbo fan engine. The plate insert can be retained in engagement under arresting shoulders provided on the adjacent fan blades by a spring force exerted by a spring insert held captive and in contact between the plate insert and an outer surface of the fan hub.

摘要:
A method and apparatus carrying the method for sealing a radial gap between coaxial inner and outer rotating shafts of a gas turbine engine includes using a radial seal as a main seal to seal the gap for a normal engine operation condition, and using an axial seal as a back-up seal for a double seal of the gap. The radial seal provides a seal which meets relatively restrictive leakage requirements for the normal engine operation condition and the axial seal provides a back-up seal which meets less restrictive leakage requirements but is much more tolerant of radial displacement and vibration between the coaxial inner and outer rotating shafts. Thus, an engine operable condition is ensured under abnormal conditions, such as bird strikes, in which the coaxial relationship between the inner and outer rotating shafts are affected by unbalancing forces caused by the bird strike, thereby causing a failure of the radial seal. The inter-shaft axial and radial seal arrangement according to the present invention has a very simple structure which is convenient and economical to manufacture and maintain.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a seamless self-supporting metal part using nickel vapor deposition, where the part has a selected minimum thickness, a first aerodynamically contoured surface and a second substantially parallel surface. The method replaces labor intensive welding of individually manufactured sheet metal segments for complex aerodynamic shapes, and produces a part with higher accuracy, less cost, controlled strength and hardness properties. Nickel vapor deposition is commonly used for plating electronic components, and for producing a metallic lining for plastic injection moulds. The seamless sheet metal part is cast by: fabricating a mould with at least one mould surface being a negative of the first surface of the part; enclosing the mould in a nickel vapor deposition chamber; depositing nickel on the mould surface by nickel vapor deposition until a blank of nickel is deposited having at least the minimum thickness and an external deposition surface; and separating the blank from the mould.
