  • Modular components for gas turbine engines and methods of manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 11346227
    Abstract: Modular assemblies for gas turbine engines such as modular vane assemblies and methods of manufacturing the same. The modular assembly includes a first modular component such as a vane platform having a first mating pocket, and a second modular such as an airfoil. The second modular component includes circumferentially extending first and second surfaces at first and second distal ends thereof, respectively, with the first surface being received within the first pocket when the modular assembly is in the assembled state. The second modular component also includes a coating pocket extending from the first surface to the second surface. The coating pocket is recessed towards an interior of the second modular component with respect to first surface and the second surface, and a thermal barrier coating is included within the coating pocket and not included on the first surface or the surface.
