Abstract
Apparatus for installation of honeycomb core seals in jet engine mounting rings, including spray deposition of brazing alloy in seals and establishment of compressive relationships between seal and ring prior to brazing of seal in ring.
Claims13
In an apparatus for mounting a honeycomb core seal having a plurality of cells in a corresponding mounting ring, the combination of:
- a support for said seal;
- an applicator of brazing alloy located adjacent the perimeter of said seal for uniformly distributing brazing alloy in said cells at said perimeter;
- and means for causing relative rotation between said support and said applicator.
In an apparatus for mounting a cylindrical honeycomb cell seal in a corresponding ring, the combination of:
- means for expanding said honeycomb seal to impart thereto an OD greater than the ID of said ring;
- means for depositing brazing alloy in the cells of said seal adjacent the OD of said seal;
- and heating means for reducing said alloy to a liquid phase to create a bond between the ID of said ring and the OD of said seal.
