Abstract: A seal assembly includes a first component, a second component, a first seal, a first shelf, a second shelf, and a second seal. The second component is adjacent to the first component and forms a cavity between the first and second components. The first seal spans the cavity. The first shelf extends axially from the first component and is located between the first seal and a hot gas path. The second shelf extends axially from the second component and is located between the first shelf and the hot gas path; the second shelf together with the first shelf forms a flow channel. The second seal conforms to the first shelf, sealing the flow channel.

Abstract: An assembly for a turbine engine includes a turbine engine first component, a turbine engine second component and a flexible seal that is attached to the first component. The flexible seal at least partially seals a gap between the first component and the second component. The flexible seal includes a mount and a finger seal that sealingly engages the second component. The mount includes a boss that sealingly engages the first component.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a sliding seal between two components. At least one of the two components includes a ramped surface on which the sliding seal slides during relative movement between the two components.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to advanced materials, particularly single crystal grain structures including the formation of single crystal grain structures. Single crystal grain structures offer improved mechanical properties when used with individual components. Improving mechanical properties is favorable for components that are used in applications with high temperature, pressure, and stress. In these applications, mechanical failure is extremely undesirable. Individual components, such as seals, can be designed with a single crystal grain structure in a preferred direction. By selecting a preferred direction, and orienting the single crystal grain structure accordingly, the single crystal grain structure can improve the component's mechanical properties. Single crystal grain structure seals and the method of forming the seals, therefore, offer various improvements to individual components, specifically when the components are designed for high temperature, pressure, and stress applications.

Abstract: A blade tip clearance system includes first and second control rings. The first control ring has a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and a first thermal response rate. The second control ring is located radially outward of and operatively connected to the first control ring and has a second CTE that is different from the first CTE and a second thermal response rate that is different from the first thermal response rate. Thermal expansion and contraction of the first and the second control rings controls a radial position of the blade tip clearance system relative to a rotating blade component.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a sliding seal between two components. The sliding seal includes a first seal section, a second seal section, and (in some embodiments) a third seal section. Two or three of the seal sections are uncoupled, which allows the uncoupled seal sections to move relative to one another during relative movement between the two components. One or more spring tabs extend from the second seal section and bias the first and third (or in some embodiments, the first and second) seal sections away from one another.
