Blade Accessories TRIZ Cases
- Ceramic Matrix Composite Repair Joining With Off-Plane Fiber Plies
Alternating fiber orientations balance delamination resistance with laminar organization and infiltration during CMC repair.
- CMC Turbine Component Reinforcement for Mounting Loads
A localized thickened portion and insert reinforce CMC turbine mounts while preserving high-temperature resistance.
- Gas Turbine Stator Cooling Holes for Lower Sealing Air Use
This gas turbine stator assembly uses inclined trailing cooling holes to seal and cool inter-assembly cavities with less air.
- Forced-Flow CVI Tooling Assembly for Faster CMC Densification
A hollow base plate, solid cover plate, and seal plates create forced flow that accelerates reactive-species deposition in CMC preforms.
- Composite components and methods for preventing flow from infiltrated component during re-infiltration
Lower-permeability barriers stop constituent flow between CMC segments during re-infiltration.
- Additive Bulk Metallic Glass Coatings for Complex Engine Component Wear
Functionally graded coatings combine bulk metallic glass strength with additive coverage for complex engine geometries and wear protection.
- Cup-Shaped CMC Inserts for Load-Bearing Turbine Components
Learn how cup-shaped CMC fabric inserts are densified and integrated to strengthen turbine components under heat and operational stress.
- Gas Turbine CMC Components with Tapered Inserts to Reduce Voids
Curved mold halves compress tapered CMC inserts to limit thickness variation and voids in gas turbine components.
- Polymer-Metal Stator Vanes for Injection-Molded Tolerance Control
Injection molding embeds a metallic sheet in a polymer substrate to improve vane conformity, reduce rejection, and resist FOD.
