    Abstract: A gas turbine that having a flowpath having a rotor assembly that includes: a first rotor wheel supporting a first rotor blade having a platform that defines a first axial section of an inner boundary of the flowpath; a second rotor wheel supporting a second rotor blade having a platform that defines a second axial section of the inner boundary of the flowpath; and an annulus filler that includes an outboard surface that defines at least part of a third axial section of the inner boundary of the flowpath occurring between the first axial section and the second axial section of the inner boundary of the flowpath. The first rotor wheel may include an axial connector for axially engaging a mating surface formed on a radially innermost face of the first rotor blade and a mating surface formed on a radially innermost face of the annulus filler.

    Abstract: A gas turbine component includes an ejection circuit for removing debris from cooling air flowing through a gas turbine component. The gas turbine component includes: an impingement insert and a debris ejection circuit. The impingement insert, which is disposed within a cavity in the component, includes an end wall and distribution holes for directing cooling air against a wall of the cavity. The debris ejection circuit includes: a bypass aperture defined in the end wall, which fluidly couples an interior of the impingement insert and an end section of the cavity; and an ejection channel, which fluidly couples the end section of the cavity to the wheelspace cavity or the hot gas path. A pressure differential between the interior of the impingement insert and the wheelspace cavity or hot gas path directs debris in the cooling air through the bypass aperture and the ejection channel.

    Abstract: A method of depositing a coating on a component of a turbine engine. The method includes forming a turbine component including at least one cooling flow passage in fluid communication with an aperture on a surface of the turbine component. A protective shield is formed on an inner surface of the at least one cooling flow passage and extending to an exterior of the turbine component via the aperture. During a coating process, the protective shield is configured to block the coating from being deposited in the at least one cooling flow passage via the aperture. Subsequent to coating, at least a portion of the protective shield is removed to provide for passage of a cooling fluid flow in the at least one cooling flow passage. The cooling fluid flow exits the turbine component through the aperture. A turbine component employing user of the protective shield is also disclosed.

    Abstract: The present application provides a turbine nozzle including an airfoil shape. The airfoil shape may have a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in Table I. The Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z are non-dimensional values from 0% to 100% convertible to dimensional distances in inches by multiplying the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z by a height of the airfoil in inches. The X and Y values, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The airfoil profile sections at Z distances may be joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.

    Abstract: Additive manufactured components including sacrificial caps, and methods of forming components including sacrificial caps are disclosed. The additive manufactured components may include a body portion including a first surface, and a feature formed in the body portion. The feature may include an aperture formed through the first surface of the body portion. Additionally, the components may include a sacrificial cap formed integral with at least a portion of the first surface of the body portion. The sacrificial cap may include a conduit in fluid communication with the feature. The sacrificial cap including the conduit may be removed from the body portion to expose the first surface and the aperture of the feature, respectively, after performing one or more post-build processes, such as shot peening, on the component and the sacrificial cap.

    Abstract: Various geometries for a trailing edge cooling system for a turbine blade. The trailing edge cooling system may include a plurality of cooling circuits extending at least partially along a radial length of a trailing edge of the turbine blade. Each cooling circuit may include an outward leg extending axially toward the trailing edge, and a plurality of turn legs in fluid communication with the outward leg. The plurality of turn legs may be positioned adjacent the trailing edge. Each cooling circuit may also include a return leg positioned adjacent the outward leg and extending axially from the trailing edge. The return leg may include a first portion and a second portion. The first portion may have a first width, and a second may have a second width that is greater than the first width of the first portion.
