    摘要: A method of forming an interstage seal including removing a diaphragm seal box (14) from a gas turbine compressor assembly (10) and removing a labyrinth sealing member (12) from the diaphragm seal box (14). An abradable material layer (34) may be deposited on the diaphragm seal box (14). A spray gun may be mounted in relation to an engine disk (16) of the gas turbine compressor assembly (10) for cold-spraying a quantity of particles toward the engine disk (16). The particles may be sprayed at a velocity sufficiently high to cause at least a portion of the quantity of particles to adhere to the engine disk (16). The spray gun may be controlled to deposit a quantity of particles on the compressor disk (16) to form a geometry (32) that will abrade the abradable material layer (34) during operation of the gas turbine compressor assembly (10). The geometry (32) abrading the abradable material layer (34) forms an interstage seal. Rotation of the engine disk (16) within the gas turbine compressor assembly (10) may be controlled during the step of controlling the spray gun. The diaphragm seal box (14) may be reinstalled within the gas turbine compressor assembly (10) so that the geometry (32) aligns with the abradable material layer (34).

    摘要: A ceramic thermal barrier coating material (10) containing nano-sized features is predicted to exhibit improved high temperature performance than a comparable material containing fewer of such features. In a coating deposited by an APS process, the nano-sized features may be intersplat columns (32). In a coating deposited by an EB-PVD process, the nano-sized features may be a mixed oxide layer (22) formed of nano-sized mixed oxide particles, or nano-sized alumina projections (24) extending across the interface from the mixed oxide layer into the insulating material layer (20). Alternatively, the nano-sized features may be secondary columnar grains (36) extending laterally from primary columnar grains (34) in a columnar-grained ceramic material.

    摘要: Aspects of the invention relate to a system for monitoring the wear of a component. A conductor can be embedded in the component at a depth from a surface of the component. In one embodiment, the conductor can be operatively connected to a power source to form an electrical circuit. The resistance across the conductor can be measured. As the component contacts a second component, the component can begin to wear. Once the wear progresses to the conductor, changes in the measured resistance can result. Thus, an operator can be alerted that the component has worn to a certain point and that service may be needed. Alternatively, impedance can be measured across the conductor. Because the dielectric permeability of the material surrounding the conductor can affect impedance, changes in impedance can occur as the surface material of the component is worn away.

    摘要: System and computer program product for non-destructively inspecting and characterizing micro-structural features in a thermal barrier coating (TBC) on a component, wherein the micro-structural features define pores and cracks, if any, in the TBC. The micro-structural features having characteristics at least in part based on a type of process used for developing the TBC and affected by operational thermal loads to which a TBC is exposed. In one embodiment, the method allows detecting micro-structural features in a TBC, wherein the detecting of the micro-structural features is based on energy transmitted through the TBC, such as may be performed with a micro-feature detection system 20. The transmitted energy is processed to generate data representative of the micro-structural features, such as may be generated by a controller 26. The data representative of the micro-structural features is processed (e.g., by a processor 30) to determine at least one of the following: volumetric porosity information for the TBC and variation in the characteristics of the micro-structural features over a thickness of the TBC. Based on the results of the data processing, information is generated regarding at least one of the following: a present condition of the thermal barrier coating and a future likely condition of the thermal barrier coating. In another embodiment, one can estimate a level of thermal load to which the thermal barrier coating has been exposed.

    摘要: A catalyst element (30) for high temperature applications such as a gas turbine engine. The catalyst element includes a metal substrate such as a tube (32) having a layer of ceramic thermal barrier coating material (34) disposed on the substrate for thermally insulating the metal substrate from a high temperature fuel/air mixture. The ceramic thermal barrier coating material is formed of a crystal structure populated with base elements but with selected sites of the crystal structure being populated by substitute ions selected to allow the ceramic thermal barrier coating material to catalytically react the fuel-air mixture at a higher rate than would the base compound without the ionic substitutions. Precious metal crystallites may be disposed within the crystal structure to allow the ceramic thermal barrier coating material to catalytically react the fuel-air mixture at a lower light-off temperature than would the ceramic thermal barrier coating material without the precious metal crystallites.
