<p>A squealer tip having a coating including an abrasive is disclosed. The squealer tip may be attached to a radially outer surface of the airfoil tip and formed from at least one support material including at least one abrasive particle formed from a refractory carbide material that has a better resistance to thermal degradation compared to conventional blade tip abrasive materials as well as negligible chemical reaction with metal elements in the metal matrix used to attach the abrasive. In at least one embodiment, the abrasive particle may be tantalum carbide. The squealer tip may also extend radially outward from the tip and cover at least a portion of the radially outer surface of the tip</p> |
