MOUNTING APPARATUS FOR LOW-DUCTILITY TURBINE SHROUD

摘要

A shroud apparatus for a gas turbine engine includes: an annular metallic hanger; a shroud segment disposed inboard of the hanger, comprising low-ductility material and having a cross-sectional shape defined by opposed forward and aft walls, and opposed inner and outer walls, the walls extending between opposed first and second end faces, wherein the inner wall defines an arcuate inner flowpath surface; and a retainer mechanically coupled to the hanger which engages the shroud segment to retain the shroud segment to the hanger while permitting movement of the shroud segment in a radial direction.
