Abstract:
A CMC wall (22) with a front surface (21) heated (24) by a working fluid in a gas turbine. A back CMC surface (23) is coated with a layer (42) of a thermally conductive material to accelerate heat transfer in the plane of the CMC wall (22), reducing thermal gradients (32-40) on the back CMC surface (23) caused by cold spots (32) resulting from impingement cooling flows (26). The conductive material (42) may have a coefficient of thermal conductivity at least 10 times greater than that of the CMC material (22), to provide a minimal thickness conductive layer (42). This reduces thermal gradient stresses within the CMC material (22), and minimizes differential thermal expansion stresses between the CMC material (22) and the thin conductive layer (42).

Abstract:
A method for producing a blade tip armor plating on a blade of a turbomachine, in particular on a high-pressure compressor rotary blade of a gas turbine, having the following steps: a) provision of a blade made of a nickel base material; b) application of a solder to a blade tip of the blade, the solder being a nickel base solder; c) application of hard material particles of cubic boron nitride to the solder, the hard material particles of cubic boron nitride being coated with titanium or with a titanium base material; d) fusion of the solder in a vacuum in order to form a matrix that at least partially surrounds the hard material particles; and e) fixing of the blade tip armor plating through cooling.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a turbofan engine including leading edge erosion protection for composite stator vanes contained therein. The composite stator vanes are defined by a leading edge, a trailing edge, a concave surface and a convex surface. The vanes are generally formed of a graphite fiber and an aramid fiber braided preform that is laminated with an epoxy matrix resin or other high temperature matrix resin. A wire mesh screen is embedded during a molding process into an outermost surface of the leading edge of the epoxy matrix resin. A tapering erosion protection layer comprised of an erosion protective material is applied to the wire mesh screen at the leading edge of the composite stator vane an aids in protecting the leading edge of the stator vane from debris and contaminants, including operational fluids, dust, and sand that may be carried in an air stream passing therethrough the turbofan engine, as well as an erosive operational environment.
