  • Material deposition for fluid nozzle joints
    Patent number: 11890692
    Abstract: A method of making a fluid injection component for a gas turbine engine includes depositing material onto a piece of tube stock. The method includes machining an elbow into the deposited material, wherein machining the elbow includes forming a braze joint surface in the deposited material. Depositing can include laser cladding the material onto the piece of tube stock.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 5, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 6, 2024
    Assignee: Collins Engine Nozzles, Inc.
    Inventors: Brett A. Pfeffer, Jason Ryon, Pete J. Schnoebelen
  • Material deposition for fluid injectors
    Patent number: 11701726
    Abstract: A method of making a fluid injector for a gas turbine engine includes depositing material onto a piece of tube stock. The method includes machining the deposited material into a fluid injector component. Depositing can include laser cladding the material onto the piece of tube stock. The method can include placing or flowing braze into a braze joint location between the deposited material and another fluid injector component and forming the braze into a braze joint in the braze joint location.
