  • Turbine shroud assembly with ceramic matrix composite components having stress-reduced pin attachment
    Patent number: 11215065
    Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly is adapted to extend around a turbine wheel mounted for rotation about a central reference axis of a gas turbine engine. The turbine shroud assembly includes a carrier segment made from metallic materials and a blade track segment made from ceramic matrix composite materials. The carrier extends at least partway about the axis. The blade track segment is supported by the carrier radially relative to the axis to define a portion of a gas path of the assembly.
    Type: Grant
