SLOTS FOR TURBOMACHINE STRUCTURES

摘要

A component for a turbomachine includes an annular body (101) defining an inner diameter portion (102A) and an outer diameter portion (102B), and a crack guiding slot (105; 405; 505) defined in a surface of the annular body extending from the inner diameter portion radially outward toward the outer diameter 5 portion or extending from the outer diameter portion radially inward toward the inner diameter portion. The outer diameter portion can be mountable to a stationary structure (151) of a turbomachine. The inner diameter portion can be mountable to a turbine vane (153).
