    Abstract: The disclosure describes example techniques and assemblies for joining a first component and a second component. The techniques may include positioning the first and second component adjacent to each other to define a joint region between adjacent portions of the first component and the second component, the joint region being coated with an adhesion resistant coating. The techniques may also include positioning a braze material in the joint region, heating the braze material to form an at least softened material, and cooling the at least softened material to form a mechanical interlock including the braze material in the joint region joining the first and second components. The braze material does not metallurgically bond to the joint surface.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes example techniques and assemblies for joining a first component and a second component. The techniques may include positioning the first and second component adjacent to each other to define a joint region between adjacent portions of the first component and the second component. The techniques may also include inserting a solid retainer material into the joint region through an aperture in one of the first component or the second component to form a mechanical interlock between the first component and the second component and sealing the aperture to retain the solid retainer material within the joint region. The solid retainer material includes at least one of a metal, a metal alloy, or a ceramic.

    Abstract: A method may include depositing a sacrificial support material on or adjacent to a build surface. The sacrificial support material may be configured to support a continuous reinforcement material during an additive manufacturing technique. The method also may include extruding the continuous reinforcement material from an additive manufacturing device such that at least a portion of the continuous reinforcement material contacts and is supported by the sacrificial support material; and removing the sacrificial support material to result in a feature defined at least in part by the continuous reinforcement material at the absence of sacrificial support material.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine and a blisk are disclosed, including methods of making the same. The blisk may include a disk, spars of airfoils, platforms, and shanks of the airfoils integrally formed as a unit. Such blisk features may be integrally formed by a casting process or additive manufacturing. The blisk includes cooled airfoils, such that the spar includes standoffs, and a cover panel is bonded to an outer surface of the standoffs to define passages between the cover panel and the spar. Cooling air is fed through an inlet port formed in a base standoff to the passages of the spar through a cooling feed channel defined in the disk or shank portion.
