Abstract: A clamp for securing a component to an isogrid case of a gas turbine engine includes a top having an attachment feature for coupling the clamp to the component. The clamp further includes a bottom. The clamp further includes two sides extending from the top towards the bottom, each of the two sides being thicker at the bottom than at the top, and the two sides defining a shaped slot closer to the bottom than the top for receiving a rib of the isogrid case.

Abstract: A mounting plate for forming a gas turbine engine component according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a plate body defining an abutment dimensioned to mate with a forming die. The plate body defines at least one internal cooling circuit. The at least one internal cooling circuit includes a passageway having an intermediate portion interconnecting inlet and outlet portions. The intermediate portion is dimensioned to follow a perimeter of the abutment. The intermediate portion includes a plurality of fins extending partially from a first sidewall towards a second sidewall opposed to the first sidewall. A method of forming a gas turbine engine component is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of forming a gas turbine engine component according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, attaching a cover skin to an airfoil body, the airfoil body and the cover skin cooperating to define pressure and suction sides of an airfoil, and moving the airfoil in a forming line including a plurality of stations. The plurality of stations include a set of heating stations, a deforming station and a set of cool down stations. The moving step includes positioning the airfoil in the set of heating stations to progressively increase a temperature of the airfoil, then positioning the airfoil in the deforming station including causing the airfoil to deform between first and second dies, and then positioning the airfoil in the set of cool down stations to progressively decrease the temperature of the airfoil.

Abstract: A fixture assembly includes a first fixture portion, a second fixture portion that interfaces with the first fixture portion, and a sub-fixture movably mounted to the first fixture portion. A multiple of actuators selectively move the sub-fixture toward the second fixture portion. A method of manufacturing a fan blade includes deploying the sub-fixture from the first fixture portion to effectuate a peripheral diffusion bond to join the blade body and the cover of the fan blade.

Abstract: An embodiment of an apparatus includes means for peripherally welding a cavity-back blade and a cover of the cavity-back blade to form a 3-dimensional hollow blade assembly, and a plurality of bellows contained in one or both of a first die half and a second die half receiving the 3-dimensional hollow blade assembly. The plurality of bellows are disposed within the region defined around or inward of the peripherally welded interface of the cover and the blade. At least a portion of the plurality of bellows are arranged in a manner to provide pressure to the cover at approximately a 90 degree angle to each of a plurality of nodes, each node defined by an intersection of two or more ribs in the cavity-back blade.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a servicing of an airfoil of an aircraft engine. A first portion of a first bondcoat layer may be removed from the airfoil while leaving a second portion of the first bondcoat layer intact on the airfoil. A second bondcoat layer may be applied to the airfoil using a coating technique subsequent to the removal of the first portion of the first bondcoat layer.
