Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gas turbine engine blade containment system is disclosed. The blade containment system may include a generally cylindrical casing being made of a first material, and a generally cylindrical ring being made of a second material coaxially surrounding the casing, at least some portion of the ring metallurgically bonded to the casing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a gas turbine engine blade containment system, comprising: providing a cylindrical casing being made of a first material; and depositing a second material onto the casing that coaxially surrounds the casing to form a ring, at least a portion of the ring metallurgically bonded to the casing and a gap positioned between the casing and the ring, wherein a sheet metal core is positioned between the casing and the ring and a rib is connected to at least some portion of the sheet metal core and extending through the ring. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the depositing is step is one of; electron beam melting, electron beam wire deposition, direct metal laser sintering, selective laser sintering, laser beam powder deposition, selective laser melting, cold metal transfer, gas dynamic cold spraying, high velocity oxy-fuel coating spraying (HVOF) and combinations thereof. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first material is selected one of; titanium, titanium alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy and combinations thereof. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second material is one of; titanium, titanium alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy and combinations thereof.
