摘要:
The present invention provides for a squealer tip to include some proportion of a highly oxidation-resistant material, and a method for casting same, such that if any environmental coating were removed, the tip would retain some increased level of environmental resistance. The oxidation-resistant material optionally may also be a high abrasion resistance material, such that recession of the tip due to rubbing against a stator would be reduced. In a preferred embodiment, an abrasion-resistant and/or oxidation-resistant material is placed and suitably anchored into the tip region of a wax precursor used to cast a turbine airfoil. During the casting operation, the abrasion-resistant and/or oxidation-resistant material is not completely melted. As the alloy used to form the majority of the turbine blade solidifies, the abrasion and/or oxidation resistant material is incorporated into the turbine airfoil by the solidification of the alloy around it.

A blisk combining gas turbine blades and disk in a single structure comprises a disk and a number of blades integrally affixed to the disk. Each blade includes an airfoil made at least in part of an open-cell solid ceramic foam formed of ceramic cell walls, and an intracellular volume therebetween. The ceramic cell walls are preferably alumina, and the intracellular volume is preferably filled at least in part with a nickel-base superalloy. Another portion of the intracellular volume may be empty porosity.

A joined structure includes a structure made of a structure metal, and a bonding element having a portion made of an open-cell solid ceramic foam. The open-cell solid ceramic foam has ceramic first-portion cell walls, and an intracellular volume therebetween that is filled with a bonding-element metal. A joint between the structure and the bonding element has an interdiffusion between the structure metal and the bonding element metal. A second structure may be joined to the first structure through the bonding element, using the same approach. The joints are formed by contacting the structure to the bonding element, and interdiffusing the metals on each side of the joint.
摘要:
A turbine blade has an airfoil section with a root end and a tip end, and an attachment at the root end of the airfoil section. A blade tip seal is joined to the tip end of the airfoil section. The blade tip seal is formed as an open-cell solid aluminum oxide foam made of aluminum oxide cell walls having intracellular volume therebetween. The blade tip seal has a blade interface region adjacent to the tip end of the airfoil section. The blade interface region is formed of the aluminum oxide foam and a nickel-base alloy within the intracellular volume. The blade tip seal also has a contact region remote from the blade interface region and comprising the aluminum foam wherein the intracellular volume is porosity.

An article of manufacture includes a metallic nonfoam region, and a ceramic foam region joined to the metallic region. The ceramic foam region is an open-cell solid ceramic foam made of ceramic cell walls having an intracellular volume therebetween. The ceramic is preferably alumina. The intracellular volume may be empty porosity, or an intracellular metal such as an intracellular nickel-base superalloy.
摘要:
A structure protected by a ceramic coating is prepared by providing a substrate having a surface, and depositing a layer of a sacrificial ceramic precursor material, preferably silica, onto the surface of the substrate. The method further includes furnishing a reactive gas, preferably an aluminum-containing gas, that is reactive with the sacrificial ceramic to produce a protective ceramic different from the sacrificial ceramic, and contacting the reactive gas to the layer of the precursor material to produce a protective ceramic layer.
摘要:
Optimized tip performance for turbine airfoils is obtained through a sequenced manufacturing process. The turbine airfoils are assembled into the dovetail slots of a turbine disk. The tips of the turbine airfoils assembled in the turbine disk are then measured to determine the turbine airfoils that do not have adequate tip clearance. The tips of those turbine airfoils that do not have adequate tip clearance are then machined to obtain adequate tip clearance. Once all the turbine airfoils have adequate tip clearance, environmental coatings and/or thermal barrier coatings are applied to the blade tips.
摘要:
A structure includes a cooled article having an open-cell solid foam of ceramic or metal cell walls with a porous interconnected intracellular volume therebetween. A source of a pressurized gas is in communication with a source region of the cooled article. The source of the pressurized gas includes a gas plenum in gaseous communication with the source region, and a compressor having a compressed gas output in gaseous communication with the gas plenum. Gas flows from the source of the pressurized gas through the porous intracellular volume, to cool the cooled article.
