Abstract: A method of manufacturing an erosion-shielded turbine blade includes providing a turbine blade for use with a rotary machine. The turbine blade includes an airfoil extending between a root and a tip. The airfoil includes a pressure side and an opposite suction side, and each of the pressure and suction sides extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The method also includes printing a green body part by an additive manufacturing process by selectively depositing a binder solution across a particulate erosion-resistant material, and sintering the green body part to produce a post-sintering erosion shield that includes densified erosion-resistant material. The method also includes coupling the erosion shield to the leading edge of the turbine blade.

Abstract: An airfoil for a fan section of a turbine engine may include a fan blade or an outlet guide vane, and an edge guard attached thereto. The edge guard may include a heating conduit disposed within at least a portion of the edge guard. An anti-icing system for a plurality of fan blades or outlet guide vanes may include a fluid supply pathway configured to supply heating fluid to respective ones of a plurality of heating conduits within the edge guards attached to respective ones of a plurality of fan blades and/or to a plurality of outlet guide vanes. The heating fluid may include bleed air from a core air flowpath. A method of inhibiting icing on an airfoil may include flowing a heating fluid into a heating conduit disposed within an edge guard attached to the airfoil and heating the edge guard with the heating fluid.

Abstract: Coating systems for components of a gas turbine engine, such as a compressor blade tip, are provided. The coating system can include an abradable material disposed along the compressor blade tip and may be used with a bare compressor casing. The abradable coating is softer than the compressor casing and can reduce the overall rub ratio thereby increasing the lifetime of the compressor blade and casing. Methods are also provided for applying the coating system onto a compressor blade.

Abstract: An airfoil for use in a turbomachine includes a pressure sidewall and a suction sidewall coupled to the pressure sidewall. The suction sidewall and the pressure sidewall define a leading edge and an opposite trailing edge. The leading edge and the trailing edge define a chord distance. The airfoil further includes a root portion, and a tip portion. The tip portion extends between the pressure sidewall and the suction sidewall such that the tip portion is substantially perpendicular to each sidewall. The tip portion includes at least one planar section and at least one oblique section that forms a recess within the tip portion. The at least one oblique section extends from the at least one planar section towards the root portion along the chord distance. The tip portion is configured to reduce airfoil wear during contact with a surrounding casing.
