A method of repairing a fuel nozzle is disclosed comprising the steps of preparing a damaged component for repair; directing thermal energy towards a substrate; directing a stream of powder material; and depositing the powder material onto the substrate.
摘要:
A combustor dome assembly for a gas turbine engine having a longitudinal centerline axis extending therethrough, including: an annular dome plate having an inner portion, an outer portion, a forward surface and a plurality of circumferentially spaced openings formed therein, wherein a radial section is defined between each adjacent opening; and, a mixer assembly located upstream of and in substantial alignment with each of the openings in the dome plate, with the mixer assembly including a forward portion and an aft portion. Each mixer assembly is retained in a manner so as to be movable in a radial and axial direction without obstructing the radial sections of the dome plate. A first pair of tabs are positioned on the forward surface of the dome plate adjacent each opening and a second pair of tabs are positioned on the aft portion of each mixer assembly, wherein the dome plate tabs interface with the mixer assembly tabs to prevent rotation of each mixer assembly.
