  • Patent number: 5240518
    Abstract: A single crystal shroud, preferably used around the high pressure turbine section of a gas turbine engine, has a composition, in weight percent, of from about 5 to about 10 percent chromium, from about 5 to about 10 percent cobalt, from 0 to about 2 percent molybdenum, from about 3 to about 10 percent tungsten, from about 3 to about 8 percent tantalum, from 0 to about 2 percent titanium, from about 5 to about 7 percent aluminum, from 0 to about 6 percent rhenium, from 0 to about 0.50 percent hafnium, from 0 to about 0.07 percent carbon, from 0 to about 0.015 percent boron, and from 0 to about 0.075 percent yttrium, balance nickel. The environmentally- resistant shroud preferably is used in the as-cast condition without any oxidation and corrosion resistant flowpath coating.

  • Patent number: 4198839
    Abstract: An improved lightweight composite article comprises a base portion and a spaced apart cap portion between which is secured a body portion comprising a plurality of thin metallic ribbons secured between the base portion and cap portion. The ribbons are disposed in substantially unbonded, aligned relationship at an upper wall portion which is integral with the cap portion formed from top edge extensions of the ribbons. The cap portion is disposed angularly to the body portion to provide one boundary of interstices defined within the member. Such a lightweight, porous-type member can be provided with a relatively smooth, substantially continuous surface through the rubbing or smearing of portions of the member surface with a smooth, relatively hard moving rubbing surface such as the peripheral smooth rim surface of a rotating wheel.

  • Patent number: 4155680
    Abstract: In a gas turbine engine including a compressor having a casing with a passage adapted to pass bleed air to a circumferentially extending bleed manifold surrounding the casing, the passage including a surface exposed to incendiary particles periodically entrained in the bleed air, an improvement is provided comprising means for preventing impingement of the particles upon the exposed surface. In one form the means is disposed between the exposed surface and the bleed air and is comprised of a material which, when reacted with the particles, produces a compound which is essentially nonpyrophoric in the environment of the passage.

  • Patent number: 4155681
    Abstract: A protection system for use with a bleed manifold of a gas turbine engine is provided and is comprised of barrier means disposed within the manifold for preventing at least a portion of incendiary particles entrained in a fluid flowing instream through the manifold from impinging upon a wall associated with said manifold. Shielding means are also provided for shielding engine casing bleed ports from impingement by the particles.
