Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for the bonding of dissimilar substrates. For example, a first substrate may be coupled to a second substrate by a composite joint between the first substrate and the second substrate. The composite joint may be comprised of a first adhesive material and a second adhesive material. The first adhesive material may be disposed on the first substrate, and the second adhesive material may be disposed to the first adhesive material. The composite joint between the first substrate and the second substrate may provide an isolation layer therebetween, preventing galvanic corrosion.

Abstract: A method of forming an airfoil includes placing a material onto a die that is heated to a predetermined temperature to pre-heat the material to a first temperature, while the die is in an open position. The method further includes closing the die at a predetermined rate and holding the die in a closed position for a predetermined period of time at a first force. The method still further includes removing the part from the die, cooling the die, placing the part onto the die, and closing the die at a second force.

Abstract: A fan blade capable of dissipating a buildup of electrostatic charge configured for operation within the fan assembly of a gas turbine engine. The fan blade has a fan blade body covered in a static dissipative coating. A conductive ground tab is attached to the front face of an airfoil root of the fan blade. Connected to the ground tab, a conductive flow path travels up the neck portion of the airfoil and along a lower portion of the fan blade. As static charge builds up on the fan blade, the electrostatic charge migrates down the fan blade and into the conductive flow path. Traveling along the conductive flow path the buildup of electrostatic charge accumulates on the conductive ground tab and exits the fan blade through contact with a disc rotor covering touching the conductive ground tab.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a protective sheath for a fan blade leading edge is described. The method may comprise generating a preform plate from a stock plate wherein the preform plate has a flattened surface and an inclined surface having a spike flanked by a first side and a second side. The method may further comprise bending the first side and the second side away from the spike to generate a sheath intermediate followed by generating the protective sheath from the sheath intermediate by shaping an outer surface and an inner surface of the sheath intermediate to match the contour of the fan blade leading edge.

Abstract: An electroformed sheath for protecting an airfoil includes a sheath body and a mandrel insert is provided. The sheath body includes a leading edge. The sheath body includes a pressure side wall and an opposed suction side wall, which side walls meet at the leading edge and extend away from the leading edge to define a cavity between the side walls. The sheath body includes a head section between the leading edge and the cavity. The mandrel insert is positioned between the pressure side and suction side walls, and includes a generally wedge-shaped geometry. A method for protecting an airfoil includes: 1) securing a mandrel insert to a mandrel; 2) electroplating a sheath body onto the mandrel and the mandrel insert; 3) removing the mandrel from the sheath body so that a sheath cavity is defined within the sheath body; and 4) securing the airfoil within the sheath cavity.
