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.

Abstract: A method including depositing a first material on a first member by an additive manufacturing process in a pattern intended to aid in an assembly of the first member and at least a second member and inserting the first member at least partially into the second member, with the first material being guide for insertion.

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.

Abstract: A system of co-centric conduits for transporting fuel, liquid, or gas including a first conduit elongated along a longitudinal axis defining an inner diameter, an outer diameter defined by an outer surface, a second conduit surrounding the first conduit elongated along the longitudinal axis defining an inner diameter defined by an inner surface and an outer diameter defined by an outer surface, a clearance between the first outer diameter and the second inner diameter, and a separating member mounted to the outer surface of the first member configured for maintaining the clearance between the outer diameter of the first conduit and the inner diameter of the second conduit.

Abstract: A swirler includes a swirler body and a plurality of axial swirl vanes extending radially outward from the swirler body. At least one of the swirler body or vanes includes a spring channel defined therethrough. A fuel injector for a gas turbine engine can include an inner air swirler and/or outer air swirler as described above.

Abstract: An injector includes a feed arm extending from an inlet fitting to a nozzle body opposite the inlet fitting. The nozzle body includes a spray outlet in fluid communication with the inlet fitting for issuing a spray of fluid supplied at the inlet fitting. The inlet fitting of the feed arm includes a receptacle therein for receiving a fluid supply manifold inside the inlet fitting of the feed arm.

Abstract: A strainer body strainer body has a conical or bullet-like shape and includes a tip portion, a midsection, and a base portion. The midsection connects the tip portion to the base portion such that the tip portion, midsection, and base portion are aligned with one another along a straining axis defined by the strainer body. The strainer body includes a plurality of layers fused to one another and angled relative to the straining axis. The plurality of layers define flow passages that extend through the strainer body to impound particulate entrained in fluid traversing the strainer body through the flow passages of the strainer body.
