Abstract: A shroud dampening pin is disclosed including a shaft, a dampening portion at a first end of the shaft, and a cap at a second end of the shaft. The dampening portion includes a bevel having a bevel angle and a contact surface. A turbine shroud assembly is disclosed, including an inner shroud, an outer shroud, the shroud dampening pin, and a biasing apparatus. The outer shroud includes a channel extending from an aperture adjacent to the inner shroud at a channel angle from the aperture. The shroud dampening pin is disposed within the channel. The dampening portion extends through the aperture with the contact surface contacting the inner shroud. The biasing apparatus contacts the cap and provides a biasing force to the inner shroud through the contact surface. The bevel angle is about the same as the channel angle, and the contact surface is about parallel to the aperture.

Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly is disclosed including an inner shroud, an outer shroud, a shroud dampening pin, and a biasing apparatus. The inner shroud is adjacent to a hot gas path. The outer shroud is adjacent to the inner shroud and distal from the hot gas path, and includes a channel extending from an aperture adjacent to the inner shroud. The shroud dampening pin is within the channel and contacts the inner shroud, and includes a shaft, a contact surface, and a cap. The shaft is within the channel. The contact surface extends through the aperture in contact with the inner shroud. The cap is distal across the shaft from the contact surface. The biasing apparatus contacts the cap, is driven by a pressurized fluid, and provides a biasing force away from the outer shroud along the shroud dampening pin to the inner shroud through the contact surface.

Abstract: A turbine component assembly is disclosed, including a first component, a second component, and an interface shield. The first component is arranged to be disposed adjacent to a hot gas path, and includes a ceramic matrix composite composition. The second component is adjacent to the first component and arranged to be disposed distal from the hot gas path across the first component. The interface shield is disposed on a contact region of the first component, and directly contacts the second component.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for detecting distortion in a component of a gas turbine engine. In one embodiment, the system includes at least one detectable datum marker configured at least partially within the component. Further, the system includes a non-destructive inspection tool configured to monitor a location of the detectable datum marker over time. Thus, distortion of the component can be detected as a function of movement of the location of the detectable datum.

Abstract: A process of producing a ceramic matrix composite turbine bucket, an insert for a ceramic matrix composite turbine bucket, and a ceramic matrix composite turbine bucket are disclosed. The process includes providing a bucket preform having a dovetail cavity, the dovetail cavity being enclosed within a dovetail shank of the bucket preform, positioning an insert within the dovetail cavity, then forming the ceramic matrix composite turbine bucket in a furnace. The insert includes a geometry configured to be fit within a dovetail cavity of the ceramic matrix composite turbine bucket, a bucket preform, or both. The insert is foam material or a plurality of ceramic matrix composite plies. The ceramic matrix composite turbine bucket includes a dovetail shank and a dovetail cavity enclosed within the dovetail shank. The dovetail cavity is arranged and disposed for receiving an insert.

Abstract: A system for damping vibrations in a turbine includes a first rotating blade having a first ceramic airfoil, a first ceramic platform connected to the first ceramic airfoil, and a first root connected to the first ceramic platform. A second rotating blade adjacent to the first rotating blade includes a second ceramic airfoil, a second ceramic platform connected to the second ceramic airfoil, and a second root connected to the second ceramic platform. A non-metallic platform damper has a first position in simultaneous contact with the first and second ceramic platforms.

Abstract: Composite components and methods for adding a composite material to a composite component are provided. For example, a method comprises positioning a composite material segment against the composite component to form a component layup; applying an insulating material around at least a portion of the component layup to form an insulated layup; and densifying the insulated layup, where the composite component was previously densified before positioning the composite material segment against the composite component. In some embodiments, the composite material is ceramic matrix composite (CMC) and the composite material segment is a plurality of CMC plies. The composite component may be a CMC gas turbine engine component that comprises an original CMC component and a new CMC material segment joined to the original CMC component through the transfer of silicon between the original CMC component and the new CMC material segment during melt infiltration.

Abstract: A CMC ply assembly is disclosed including at least one matrix ply interspersed amongst a plurality of CMC plies. Each of the plurality of CMC plies includes a first matrix and a plurality of ceramic fibers. The at least one matrix ply includes a second matrix and is essentially free of ceramic fibers. The plurality of CMC plies and the at least one matrix ply are arranged in an undensified ply stack having an article conformation. A CMC article is disclosed including a plurality of densified CMC plies and at least one densified matrix ply interspersed amongst the plurality of densified CMC plies. A method for forming the CMC article is disclosed including forming, carburizing, infusing a melt infiltration agent into, and densifying the CMC ply assembly. The melt infiltration agent infuses more completely through the at least one matrix ply than through the plurality of CMC plies.
