Abstract: A method of manufacturing a last chance screen for an aircraft engine includes forming an array of holes through a metal sheet with a wire electrode using electrical discharge machining. The array of holes comprises a plurality of holes. Each hole of the plurality of holes comprises a first end and a second end and is surrounded by a wall section such that the last chance screen is defined by the plurality of holes and the plurality of wall sections. The first and second end of each hole are widened by either applying a flow of an abrasive flow medium to the array of holes in two directions or using a conical sinker electrode on either side of the metal sheet. Shaping the first and second end of each hole results in an airfoil-shaped cross-section of each wall section.

Abstract: An assembly for a turbomachine can include a fuel nozzle and a combustion liner. The fuel nozzle and the combustion liner can be attached to each using a plurality of clip joints such that the combustion liner is longitudinally fixed relative to the fuel nozzle but such that the combustion liner can radially move relative to the fuel nozzle.

Abstract: A system comprising an additive manufacturing machine configured to fuse stock powder, a supply vessel connected to the additive manufacturing machine for supplying the stock powder to the additive manufacturing machine, and a weight sensor system connected to the supply vessel. A controller operatively is connected to the weight sensor system configured to receive signals indicative of a weight of the stock powder in the supply vessel. The controller is configured to determine weight of the stock powder based on the signals.
