The disclosed embodiments generally relate to non-destructive evaluation methods. In an embodiment, a method for non-destructive evaluation of a aerospace component includes positioning a first plurality of sensors in the region of interest, positioning a second plurality of sensors in the region of interest, inducing a vibration in the region of interest using the first plurality of sensors and receiving a resonance frequency spectra using the second plurality of sensors, and comparing the received resonance frequency spectra against a reference spectra to determine the presence of an anomaly in the region of interest.

Turbine blades and methods of forming modified turbine blades and turbine rotors for use in an engine are provided. In an embodiment, by way of example only, a turbine blade includes a platform and an airfoil. The platform includes a surface configured to define a portion of a flowpath, and the surface includes an initial contour configured to plastically deform into an intended final contour after an initial exposure of the blade to an operation of the engine. The airfoil extends from the platform.

A gas turbine engine assembly has combustion gases flowing through a gas flow path. The gas turbine engine assembly includes a stator assembly comprising a stator vane that extends into the gas flow path; and a turbine rotor assembly downstream of the stator assembly and comprising a turbine platform and a turbine rotor blade extending from the turbine platform into the mainstream combustion gases flow path. The turbine rotor blade includes a pressure side and a suction side opposing the pressure side that extend from a leading edge to a trailing edge. The combustion gases form horseshoe vortices at a formation area adjacent the leading edge of the turbine rotor blade, and the turbine rotor assembly further includes a first set of holes in the turbine platform for directing first jets into the formation area of the horseshoe vortices.

A seal plate for directing an airflow includes a hub, main pumping vanes, and splitter vanes. The hub has a tubular section and an annular flange section flared outwardly relative to the tubular section to define a flow surface. The main pumping vanes are disposed circumferentially on the flow surface around the annular flange section and each has a canted section located radially inward relative to a straight section and aligned with a flow direction of the airflow. The straight section extends along a first plane including a centerline of the seal plate. The splitter vanes are disposed circumferentially on the flow surface around the annular flange section such that at least one splitter vane is disposed between the straight sections of two adjacent main pumping vanes. Each splitter vane has a length that is less than a length of each of the two adjacent main pumping vanes.

A core assembly including two cores is used to manufacture a blade. The first core has an outer surface shaped to complement the tip wall bottom surface. The second core has a tip surface, a side surface, and a protrusion or a depression. The tip surface is shaped to complement at least a portion of the tip wall top surface and is configured to be disposed proximate the first core. The side surface is shaped to complement at least a portion of the side wall, and the protrusion extends from the second core side surface to contact at least a portion of the ceramic mold inner surface. In embodiments employing a depression, the depression is formed in the side surface.

A diffuser particle separator may be integrated into a gas turbine engine to remove corrosive dust and salt particles from the engine's core air flow. The air flow may pass over a series of particle accumulator entrance orifices, trapping particles in a particle accumulator while allowing the air flow to continue unimpeded. Since dust deposits may become molten at high temperatures, removal of dust from the core and secondary airflow may be critical for long-life superalloy and ceramic components, particularly those with small diameter air-cooling holes and thermal barrier coatings.

A method for making a bimetallic ring seal having a nickel core covered by a first layer of platinum having a inner dense portion and a second outer portion both of which plastically deform in the presence of a load. The method includes the step of applying a porous layer of platinum over the dense layer by electroless plating in a platinum bath comprising 0.8-1.2 gram/liter platinum as diammine dinitrite salt Pt(NH3)2(NO2)2, 50-100 milliliter/liter of 25% ammonium hydroxide NH4OH; and 0.3-1.5 gram/liter hydrazine hydrate N2H4—H2O, at a temperature in the range of 75-90° C. and at a plating rate in the range of 0.5-3.0 micron/hour and then plastically deforming the ring seal under load.
