Blade outer air seal and repair method

摘要

A blade outer air seal (BOAS) segment for a gas turbine engine is disclosed wherein the formation of cracks due to thermal mechanical fatigue in the body of the disclosed BOAS segment is minimized, if not eliminated, through a unique construction of the disclosed BOAS segment, whether original equipment manufacture or a repaired BOAS. The segment (44) has a body (50) formed in part of a first metal alloy and in part of a second metal alloy, the second metal alloy having a thermal coefficient of expansion that is less than the thermal coefficient of expansion of the first metal alloy. A method for manufacture of a BOAS segment and a method for modifying a BOAS segment are also disclosed.
