COMPOSITE CORNER AND METHOD FOR MAKING COMPOSITE CORNER

摘要

A gas turbine engine component and a method for making a composite gas turbine engine component, the method includes providing a tool having a first and second surface, the first and second surface arranged at an angle to each other. A fibrous segment is applied to the first surface. The fibrous segment has an end terminating adjacent to the angle between the first surface and the second surface. A fibrous preform is positioned on the fibrous segment and on the second surface. A matrix material is then provided on one or more of the fibrous preform or the fibrous segment. The fibrous segment and fibrous preform are heated to a temperature sufficient to allow expansion of the end of the fibrous segment. The matrix material is then cured to form a composite article having an angular portion having substantially uniform fiber distribution.
