  • Integral part wear indicator system, method and apparatus
    Patent number: 10688618
    Abstract: A part comprising a one or more removable wear indicators is provided. The part may be a stator segment comprising a plurality of airfoils. The stator segment may also comprise one or more mock airfoils at each end of the stator segment. Each of the mock airfoils may comprise an indicator configured to wear during a polishing process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 2019
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2020
    Assignee: Raytheon Technologies Corporation
    Inventors: Micah Beckman, David Masiukiewicz, Edward Marchitto, Daniel Livchitz
  • Abrasive tool indicator system, method and apparatus
    Patent number: 10569382
    Abstract: A tool comprising a plurality of wear indicators is provided. The tool may be made from a rapid prototyping process. The tool may be used in an abrasive processing operation. The tool may comprise one or more control elements, (e.g., control geometries, part interfaces, fixture interfaces and/or the like). These control elements may comprise indicators of tool wear. The indicators may be inspected physically (e.g., by touch) and/or visually.

  • System and method for polishing airfoils
    Patent number: 9757841
    Abstract: An upper shield and a lower shield may be coupled to a rotor for polishing airfoils of the rotor in a vibratory bowl. The upper shield and the lower shield may include spars. The spars may correspond to leading edges and trailing edges of the airfoils. A media including abrasive particles may be flowed through the rotor in the vibratory bowl. The spars may protect the leading edges and trailing edges of the airfoils from excessive material removal by the abrasive particles.
