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 fuel injector includes an outer body and an inner body. The outer body extends about an axis and has a radially inner surface and a retention groove defined in the inner surface of the outer body. The inner body is positioned within the outer body has an outer surface and a retention tab. The retention tab retains the inner body relative to the outer body by engagement of the retention tab within the retention groove. A is axially offset from the retention tab and fixes the inner body within the outer body.

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: An injector includes a mounting flange having a mounting lug with fastener bore therethrough that passes through the mounting flange. A support beam extends along an outer surface of the mounting flange from the mounting lug to a hub of the mounting flange. The support beam includes an outer surface spaced apart from the outer surface of the mounting flange and two opposed lateral surfaces each extending from the outer surface of the support beam toward the outer surface of the mounting flange. The outer surface of the support beam includes a contour and/or the support beam includes a stiffening beam that is wider than the width between the opposed lateral surfaces of the support beam.
