A wall structure for a gas turbine engine component is provided which comprises a wall having a first side facing a flow of hot gases and a second side exposed to a source of cooling fluid. The wall has a plurality of holes formed therethrough, and an outer layer disposed on the first side. The holes greatly increase the wetted surface area of the wall exposed to cooling flow.

A protected article includes a nickel-base superalloy substrate, an interlayer overlying the substrate, and a protective layer overlying the interlayer. The protective layer has a composition comprising at least one of rhodium, platinum, palladium, and ruthenium. In one composition, palladium is present in an amount of from about 1 to about 41 atomic percent; platinum is present in an amount of about (40+atomic percent palladium) atomic percent for palladium ranging from about 1 atomic percent to about 14 atomic percent and up to about 54 atomic percent for palladium ranging from about 15 atomic percent up to about 41 atomic percent; rhodium is present in an amount of at least about 24 atomic percent; zirconium, hafnium, titanium, and mixtures thereof are present in an amount of from zero up to about 5 atomic percent; and ruthenium is present in an amount of from zero up to about 5 atomic percent, balance impurities. The interlayer has a coefficient of thermal expansion intermediate between that of the substrate and that of the protective layer. The protected article is fabricated by furnishing the substrate, applying the interlayer over the substrate, and applying the protective layer over the interlayer. The application of the protective layer may be, for example, by welding or attachment of a solid piece.

A turbine airfoil is provided having an integral tip cap and a pair of tip walls which extend radially outward past the tip cap to form a squealer tip. A coaxial pair of first and second holes extend through the tip cap and one of the tip walls respectively at an acute inclination angle, with the first hole being disposed so as to direct impingement cooling air on the tip wall having the second hole. A protective layer comprising a high temperature foil is disposed on the tip wall having the second hole therein.

A method for evaluating the thermal exposure of a selected metal component which has been exposed to changing temperature conditions is described. The voltage distribution on a surface of the metal component, or on a metallic layer which lies over the component, is first obtained. The voltage distribution usually results from a compositional change in the metal component. The voltage distribution is then compared to a thermal exposure-voltage model which expresses voltage distribution as a function of exposure time and exposure temperature for a reference standard corresponding to the metal component. In this manner, the thermal exposure of the selected component can be obtained. A related device for evaluating the thermal exposure of a selected metal component is also described.

摘要:
A component in a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil extending radially outwardly from a platform associated with the airfoil. The airfoil includes opposed pressure and suction sidewalls, which converge at a first location defined at a leading edge of the airfoil and at a second location defined at a trailing edge of the airfoil opposed from the leading edge. The component includes a built-up surface adjacent to the leading edge at an intersection between the pressure sidewall and the platform, and at least one cooling passage at least partially within the built-up surface at the intersection between the pressure sidewall and the platform. The at least one cooling passage is in fluid communication with a main cooling channel within the airfoil and has an outlet at the platform for providing cooling fluid directly from the main cooling channel to the platform.

A turbine vane includes a generally elongated hollow airfoil and a cooling system. The cooling system is positioned within the airfoil and includes a cooling chamber and an impingement insert positioned in the cooling chamber. The impingement insert and an inner surface of an outer wall of the airfoil define a cooling channel therebetween. The impingement insert includes a plurality of impingement nozzles extending toward the inner surface of the outer wall and a plurality of impingement orifices. At least one of the impingement orifices is arranged in a non-aligned pattern with respect to at least one adjacent impingement orifice such that cooling fluid passing out of the at least one impingement orifice does not directly flow into a centerline of a cooling fluid flowpath of cooling fluid passing out of the at least one adjacent impingement orifice.

A seal member for effecting a seal preventing fluid flow in an axial direction through an annular space formed between two relatively moving components including a rotatable shaft and a stator structure. The seal member includes a plurality of flexible seal strips. Each seal strip includes a planar plate extending radially through the annular space and having a radially outer end supported to the stator structure and a radially inner end defining a tip portion extending widthwise in the axial direction engaged in sliding contact with a peripheral surface of the rotatable shaft. At least one of the seal strips includes a plurality of perforations extending through the seal strip and located between a leading edge and a trailing edge of the seal strip for effecting an increased flexibility of the seal strip adjacent to the tip portion.
