    摘要: A seal assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a seal including a main body extending circumferentially between opposed mate faces. The main body has a sealing portion and an engagement portion extending outwardly from sealing portion along at least one of the mate faces. The main body has a core including one or more core plies arranged to establish an internal cavity. An overwrap has one or more overwrap plies arranged to follow a perimeter of the one or more core plies to establish the engagement portion and the sealing portion. A platform insert extends between portions of the core and the overwrap to establish the sealing portion. A method of fabricating a seal for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    摘要: A method of machining includes mounting a component in a drilling machine. The component has a target region where the hole is to be drilled. The component and a jet head are situated relative to each other in a drilling arrangement in which the target region is at a first position that is vertically equal to or vertically above a second position at which the jet head is located. A liquid stream is jetted from the jet head and contains either abrasive particles or a laser beam. The stream impinges the target region, and the abrasive particles or the laser beam cause removal of material from the component to form the hole. The liquid stream rebounds off of the component as back-splash. The drilling arrangement causes gravitational draining of the back-splash from the target region to reduce interference between the back-splash and the liquid stream.

    摘要: A method for machining a ceramic workpiece includes providing a sonotrode that has a transducer and a horn arranged along an axis, and the horn has helical slots and terminates at a tip, bringing the tip into proximity of the ceramic workpiece and providing an abrasive media to a work zone around the tip, using the transducer to produce ultrasonic vibration that axially propagates down the horn and causes axial vibration at the tip, and the helical slots convert a portion of the axial vibration to torsional vibration at the tip, and the axial vibration and the torsional vibration causing the abrasive media to abrade the ceramic workpiece in the work zone and thereby remove a localized portion of the ceramic workpiece.

    摘要: A method for forming a hole in a ceramic matrix composite component includes providing a first tool component with a first hole, providing a fiber preform of the ceramic matrix composite component on the first tool component, positioning a second tool component on the fiber preform, such that the fiber preform is disposed between the first and second tool components, inserting a rod into the first and second holes and through the fiber preform, and performing a densification step of the fiber preform in the first and second tool components. The second tool component has a second hole coaxial with the first hole. The fiber preform is densified with a ceramic matrix.
