Abstract: This disclosure is directed to seal assemblies for a turbomachine. The seal assemblies include stationary and rotating components and at least one interface between the stationary and rotating components. The seal assembly further includes a self-lubricating lattice element made of carbon or a carbon-based material. The self-lubricating lattice element may have a porous and compressible microstructure capable of retaining a liquid substance. During engine operation, the self-lubricating lattice element can compress and expel some portion of the liquid substance to form a liquid-containing layer between the rotating and stationary components of the seal assembly. Also described herein are self-lubricating wear sleeves for use in other portions of the turbomachine.

Abstract: Method of repairing a Ni-based alloy component are provided, along with the resulting repaired coated component. The method may include: spraying a plurality of particles onto a surface of the Ni-based alloy component to form a coating thereon. The plurality of particles comprises a mixture of Ni-based superalloy particles and Co-based superalloy particles. The particles are sprayed at a spray temperature that is less than a melting point of both the Ni-based superalloy particles and the Co-based superalloy particles. A repaired coated component may include: a Ni-based alloy component having a surface and a coating on the surface of the Ni-based alloy component. The coating comprises a plurality of deformed particles therein, with the plurality of deformed particles comprises 5% by weight to 80% by weight of a Ni-based superalloy and 20% by weight to 95% by weight of a Co-based superalloy.

Abstract: Methods of protecting a surface of a Ni-based alloy component are provided, along with the wear strip utilized and the repaired Ni-based alloy component. The method may include: spraying a plurality of particles to form a wear strip. The plurality of particles includes a mixture of Ni-based superalloy particles and Co-based superalloy particles. The plurality of particles is sprayed at a spray temperature that is less than a melting point of the Ni-based superalloy particles and less than a melting point of the Co-based superalloy particles. The wear strip may be attached onto a surface of the Ni-based alloy component, either during the spraying of the particles (when wear strip formed on the surface of the Ni-based alloy component) or after a standalone wear strip is formed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring the clearance gaps between rotating and stationary components of a turbomachine are provided. In one exemplary aspect, flexible and degradable sensing arrays that include a plurality of microwave sensors are utilized to sense the clearance gaps between rotating and stationary components of the turbomachine. Microwaves generated by a microwave generator are transmitted to the sensors. Upon rotation of the rotating components, the rotating components reflect the microwaves transmitted thereto. The microwave sensors capture the transmitted signal and also capture a reflected signal indicative of the transmitted signal reflected by the rotating components. The signals are then forwarded to a computing device for processing. The amplitude difference at the interference fringes between the superimposed signals is representative of the clearance gaps between the rotating and stationary components. After measuring the clearance gaps, the turbomachine may be operated and the degradable sensing array may be consumed.
