Abstract: A rotor for a gas turbine engine comprises an annular body and a plurality of holes. The annular body is configured to rotate in a circumferential direction about an axis extending through a center of the annular body. The annular body comprises an outer diameter surface and an inner diameter surface. The plurality of holes extends through the annular body. Each of the holes comprises an elongate profile in the circumferential direction, and a side wall extending between the outer diameter surface and the inner diameter surface. The side wall is slanted in the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine is provided with turbine sealing structures including knife edge seals which extend at an angle relative to an axial center line of the engine. Each knife edge seal is associated with a control pocket defined between a radially inner surface and a spaced radially outer surface. The control pockets and their associated knife edge seals create a difficult flow path to prevent leakage into radially inner portions of the turbine section.

Abstract: A turbine shroud segment includes a substrate and a coating layer having varying thickness. Various construction details are developed that provide minimal spalling of the coating layer during use of the shroud segment. In a particular embodiment, a shroud segment includes a coating layer that tapers towards the edges. The thickness tapers to a minimum thickness along the leading and trailing edges. Within the blade passing region of the shroud segment, the coating layer tapers towards the lateral edges to a thickness determined by the minimum thickness required for abrasive contact between the shroud segment and rotor blades. In another particular embodiment, the varying thickness of the coating layer is produced by forming the substrate with a concave surface, applying the coating, and subsequently machining back the coating layer to the desired dimensions.
