Abstract:
A unitary one-piece hub has first and second rings and a midsection arranged between the first and second rings. The midsection includes a plurality of windows configured to receive a plurality of cross members. The windows include a lip configured to surround the cross members. A gas turbine engine and a method of providing a hub for a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine 20 includes a core flow path that extends axially about an engine axis. A turbine section 28 is arranged in the core flow path. A mid-turbine frame 82 includes multiple circumferentially spaced vanes that extend radially between and interconnect inner 113 and outer flow path surfaces 115 that define a portion of the core flow path. The vanes and inner and outer flow path surfaces are provided by a unitary, one-piece cast structure. The inner flow path surface 113 provides inlet and exit inner diameters relative to the engine axis. The outer flow path surface 115 provides inlet and exit outer diameters relative to the engine axis. The inner flow path surface extends an axial length from the inlet inner diameter to the exit inner diameter. A ratio of the exit outer diameter to the axial length is greater than 3.0 to 1.
Abstract:
A vane for use in a gas turbine engine has an airfoil extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge, a radially outer platform and a radially inner platform. A rib is on one of the radially inner and radially outer platforms, and is adjacent the trailing edge of the airfoil. A mid-turbine frame is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A vane pack for a gas turbine engine includes an annular arrangement of vanes. A ring is secured around the vanes and extends proud of an axial end of the vanes.
Abstract:
A method is provided for reworking a component. The method includes at least partially filling a cavity in a non-fusion weldable base alloy with a multiple of layers of a multiple of laser powder deposition spots formed of a filler alloy. Each of the multiple of laser powder deposition spots at least partially overlaps at least one of another of the multiple of laser powder deposition spots. The filler alloy may be different than the non-fusion weldable base alloy.
Abstract:
A gas-turbine engine (20) is provided. The gas-turbine engine (20) comprises a high pressure turbine (54) with an aft blade platform (106). A static structure may be disposed aft of the high pressure turbine (54) and proximate a cavity (104) defined by the aft blade platform (106). A vane of the static structure may have a vane platform (102) with a shaped tip (126; 200; 202; 204) extending into the cavity (104).
Abstract:
An airfoil extends between radially inner and radially outer platforms. The airfoil extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and merges into facing surfaces of the radially inner and outer platforms. A variable fillet merges a facing surface of one of the radially inner and outer platforms into a wall of the airfoil. The variable fillet has a length extending away from a surface of the airfoil and a height extending away from the facing surface of at least one of the radially inner and outer platforms outwardly on to the airfoil. The variable fillet has a greater length at one of the leading edge and the trailing edge. A spaced portion has a shorter length at locations spaced from at least one of the leading and trailing edges. A mid-turbine frame and a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.
