  • Resilient mounting apparatus for low-ductility turbine shroud
    Patent number: 8998573
    Abstract: A turbine flowpath apparatus for a gas turbine engine includes: a flowpath component exposed at least partially to a primary combustion gas flowpath of the engine, the flowpath component comprising low-ductility material; a metallic annular stationary structure surrounding the flowpath component, including a bearing surface which bears against the flowpath component, so as to restrain the flowpath component from axial movement in a first direction; and a spring element disposed between the flowpath component and the stationary structure which resilient urges the flowpath component in the first direction against the bearing surface.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: April 7, 2015
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Joseph Albers, Mark Marusko, Barry Wilson, Aaron Dziech, Christopher Johnson
