Abstract: A coating for a blade root/disk interface includes a layer of soft metal matrix, and a solid lubricant distributed through the soft metal matrix. Examples of materials include CuAl as the soft metal matrix and MoS2 as the solid lubricant, although others are also disclosed.

Abstract: A compressor seal-ring assembly includes a seal formed of a nickel, cobalt or iron-based superalloy; a counterface positioned for sealing interaction with the seal; and a lubricant coating on the seal, the lubricant coating being formed of a CoCrAlY-containing material.

Abstract: A piston seal assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a seal composed of a nickel-based superalloy; a component in contact with the seal and defining a seal-counterface; and a coating on the seal at the seal-counterface, wherein the coating is a metal alloy binder phase and a hard particle phase distributed through the binder phase.

Abstract: A seal assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a seal composed of a nickel-based superalloy; a component in contact with the seal and defining a seal-counterface; and a coating on the seal at the seal-counterface, wherein the coating is a ternary oxide.

Abstract: A rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a rotor that has a hub carrying one or more rotatable blades. The rotor is mechanically attached to a shaft, and an annular seal is carried by the shaft. The annular seal includes a substrate, a first layer disposed on the substrate, and a second layer disposed on the first layer and arranged to establish a sealing relationship with the rotor. The second layer includes a solid lubricant that has molybdenum trioxide (MoO3). A method of sealing for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A piston seal assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a seal formed of a nickel-based superalloy; a component in contact with the seal and defining a seal-counterface; and a coating on the seal at the seal-counterface, wherein the coating is a nanostructured, self-lubricating coating material.
