| To reach this aim, abradable seals are being incorporated into turbine casings. |
|
| This paper reports recent research on abradable materials employed for aero-engine applications. |
|
| The obtained force was correlated with the wear profile of the abradable seal. |
|
| In modern design of gas turbines, the use of abradable materials for the coating seal of engines is widespread. |
|
| Other fully instrumented test facilities include a wear tester for abradable and honeycomb turbine engine seals. |
|
| There was considerable machining of the abradable material of the axial compressor housing. |
|
| Further intense research in powder metallurgy led to development of powder rolling processes for production of coins and specialty composite powders for abradable seals on jet engines. |
|
| The part had an abradable coating the removal of which signified that replacement was necessary. |
|
| Thrust balance is achieved with a balance piston with labyrinths on the rotating part and abradable seals on the stationary part. |
|
| The wear tester extends IAR capability to test abradable and honeycomb seals for turbine engines, and supports industry with the development of new seal materials. |
|
| Abradable seals in gas turbine compressors have contributed to improved efficiencies for quite some time now. |
|
| Abradable coatings are used extensively within gas turbines. |
