    Abstract: An actuation system according to various embodiments can include an actuation ring having a first end and a second end separated by a gap, the actuation ring being configured to be coupled to a blade outer air seal (BOAS). The actuation system can also include an actuator coupled to at least one of the first end or the second end and configured to adjust a size of the gap such that a tip clearance between the BOAS and a blade tip is reduced in response to the size of the gap being reduced.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a seal configured to interface with at least a first component and a second component of a gas turbine engine. A method for forming the seal includes obtaining an ingot of a fine grained, or a coarse grained, or a columnar grained or a single crystal material from a precipitation hardened nickel base superalloy containing at least 40% by volume of the precipitate of the form Ni3(Al, X), where X is a metallic or refractory element, and processing the ingot to generate a sheet of the material, where the sheet has a thickness within a range of 0.010 inches and 0.050 inches inclusive.
