    Abstract: A section of a gas turbine engine includes a ceramic component, a metallic component, a seal situated between the metallic component and the ceramic component at a sealing interface, a silicon-based coating disposed on the ceramic component at the sealing interface, and a non-reactive coating disposed on the metallic component at the sealing interface. The non-reactive coating provides thermochemical protection against interaction between the ceramic component, the silicon-based coating, and the metallic component. A method of providing a seal in a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method includes providing a continuous mandrel body disposed along an axis. The mandrel body defines, in order along the axis from a first end thereof, a pilot lead-in section, a first article section, a tapered transition section, and a second article section. Beginning at the pilot lead-in section, a continuous fabric sleeve is progressively formed on the mandrel body to the first article section, to the tapered transition section, and then to the second article section to form a fabric-covered mandrel. The portions of the continuous fabric sleeve that are on the first article section and the second article section form, respectively, a first article preform and a second article preform. The fabric-covered mandrel is then divided to separate the article preforms, followed by densifying the article preforms with a ceramic matrix material to thereby form CMC articles.

    Abstract: A seal system includes a ceramic component that has a non-core-gaspath surface region that defines a first surface roughness and a core gaspath surface region. A metallic component is situated adjacent the non-core-gaspath surface region. A coating system is disposed on the ceramic component. The coating system includes a silicon-containing layer on the non-core-gaspath surface region and a barrier layer that has a first section on the silicon-containing layer and a second section on the core-gaspath region and that is connected to the first section. The surface of the barrier layer has a second surface roughness that is less than the first surface roughness. The first section is in contact with the metallic component and the second section serves as an environmental barrier on the core-gaspath region.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of reducing play in a vane arc segment. The vane arc segment includes an airfoil piece that defines first and second platforms and a hollow airfoil section that has an internal cavity and that extends between the first and second platforms. The first platform defines a gaspath side, a non-gaspath side, and a radial flange that projects from the non-gaspath side. Support hardware supports the airfoil piece via the radial flange, and a thermal insulation element is located adjacent the radial flange. The method includes performing a light scan of the radial flange to produce a digital three-dimensional model of the radial flange, and then machining the thermal insulation element in accordance with the digital three-dimensional model to provide a low-tolerance fit between the radial flange and the thermal insulation element that limits play between the airfoil piece and the thermal insulation element.

    Abstract: A tooling assembly suitable for use in infiltrating a fibrous preform comprises an outer tooling fixture and an inner tooling fixture. The outer tooling fixture comprises a first portion removably attached to a second portion, and a first pair of oppositely disposed windows defined by the first portion and the second portion. Each of the first portion and the second portion comprise a base with a recess. The inner tooling fixture comprises a body defined by at least one portion, the body configured to at least partially surround the fibrous preform, a plurality of holes extending through a thickness of the at least one portion, each hole of the plurality of holes having a length (L) and a diameter (D), and a first neck region engageable with a recess of the first portion or the second portion.

    Abstract: An assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes at least one platform having a main body extending between a first mate face and a second mate face to establish a gas path surface. The main body has an internal passage extending circumferentially between a first opening along the first mate face and a second opening along the second mate face relative to an assembly axis. A perimeter of the first mate face establishes a first area, a perimeter of the second opening establishes a second area, and the second area is greater than the first area. An airfoil section extends radially from the at least one platform.
