摘要:
An annular gas turbine engine combustor liner has a single piece annular shell circumscribed about a first axis of revolution. The shell has a hot side and a cold side, an annular dilution hole section, and a plurality of asymmetrical cylindrical dilution holes extending through the section. Pockets are circumferentially interdigitated between the dilution holes and extend into the shell from the cold side such that the pockets form dilution hole bosses between the pockets through which the dilution holes extend. Each of the dilution holes is circumscribed about a second axis of revolution which is not parallel to the first axis of revolution. The liner may further include forward and aft annular cooling nuggets located forward and aft of the dilution hole section and having annular film cooling slots which are open in the axially aftwardly direction. The shell is machined from a single piece integrally formed near net shape form such as a forging, a casting, or more particularly a spin or centrifugal casting. The invention includes a method for making the annular gas turbine engine combustor liner by forming a single piece integrally formed near net shape form and machining it to produce the shell and the above features in the shell.
摘要:
An article comprising a substrate and an outer metallic layer, such as a coating, is provided with augmented heat transfer from the substrate through the combination of a layer thickness of about 0.003″ to about 0.017″, a layer surface roughness of at least about 500 micro inches Ra, a layer tensile bond strength of at least about 5 ksi, and a heat transfer augmentation of at least about 1.1. A method of making the article uses an electric arc wire thermal spray process in which the atomizing gas pressure is maintained within the range of about 20-80 psi.
摘要:
A one-piece cowl for use in assembled relationship with a combustor of a gas turbine engine, the cowl being of a generally annular configuration defining a central cowl axis and being axially elongated and aerodynamically contoured relative to the central cowl axis. The one-piece cowl includes an inner annular portion, an outer annular portion, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced radial ligaments connecting the inner and outer annular portions so as to form a corresponding number of openings through a middle portion of the cowl. Each radial ligament has a designated area which enables the radial ligaments to sustain the stress levels imposed on the cowl to prevent high cycle fatigue. Each opening also has a designated area which enables insertion of fuel nozzles therein without adversely affecting air flow therethrough. The designated area for the radial ligaments is a function of the designated area for the openings and a ratio of such areas falls within a specified range.

A thermal barrier coating is provided which is adapted to be formed on an article subjected to a hostile thermal environment while subjected to thermally, mechanically and/or dynamically-induced stresses, such as a component of a gas turbine engine. The thermal barrier coating is composed of a bond layer that tenaciously adheres an insulative ceramic layer to the article. The bond layer is formed of a metallic oxidation-resistant material, and has an average surface roughness R.sub.a of at least about 7.5 micrometers, while the ceramic layer is characterized by being segmented by at least two sets of grooves. The grooves have substantially uniform widths of about 100 to about 500 micrometers, with adjacent grooves of each set being spaced about 10 to about 250 millimeters apart. The grooves promote the resistance of the thermal barrier coating to spalling, and are selectively located in the ceramic layer in order to tailor the stress relaxation capability of the thermal barrier coating to the size, geometry and service environment of the article. A preferred method for forming the grooves involves a liquid jet technique by which a portion of the ceramic layer is abraded by a high pressure liquid stream.
