Additively manufactured swirler mount interface for gas turbine engine combustor

Abstract

A component for a gas turbine engine, the component according to one disclosed non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure includes an additively manufactured wear surface.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A component for a gas turbine engine, the component comprising:
 an additively manufactured wear surface.   
     
     
         2 . The component as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said additively manufactured swirler wear surface is on a nozzle guide. 
     
     
         3 . The component as recited in  claim 2 , further comprising a capture plate mounted to a guide housing to retain said nozzle guide, said capture plate mounted to said guide housing to retain said nozzle guide such that said nozzle guide is movable with respect to said guide housing. 
     
     
         4 . The component as recited in  claim 2 , further comprising a fuel injector at least partially in contact with said additively manufactured swirler wear surface. 
     
     
         5 . The component as recited in  claim 4 , further comprising a nozzle tip of said fuel injector, said nozzle tip at least partially in contact with said additively manufactured swirler wear surface. 
     
     
         6 . The component as recited in  claim 5 , further comprising an additively manufactured fuel injector wear surface on said nozzle tip. 
     
     
         7 . The component as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said additively manufactured swirler wear surface is on a fuel injector. 
     
     
         8 . The component as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said additively manufactured swirler wear surface is defined around a fuel injector axis. 
     
     
         9 . A combustor for a gas turbine engine, comprising:
 a multiple of swirlers;   a multiple of fuel injectors, each of said multiple of fuel injectors extend at least partially into one of said multiple of swirlers at an interface area, an additively manufactured swirler wear surface located at said interface area to accommodate wear from relative movement between each swirler and said associated fuel injector.   
     
     
         10 . The combustor as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said additively manufactured wear surface is on a nozzle guide of each of said multiple of swirlers. 
     
     
         11 . The combustor as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising a capture plate mounted to a guide housing to retain said nozzle guide. 
     
     
         12 . The combustor as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said capture plate is mounted to said guide housing to retain said nozzle guide such that said nozzle guide is movable with respect to said guide housing. 
     
     
         13 . The combustor as recited in  claim 12 , further comprising a swirler outer body mounted to said swirler inner body. 
     
     
         14 . The combustor as recited in  claim 9 , further comprising a nozzle tip of each of said multiple of fuel injectors, said nozzle tip including an additively manufactured fuel injector wear surface. 
     
     
         15 . A method of repairing a swirler for a combustor of a gas turbine engine, comprising:
 additively manufacturing a material to an additively manufactured wear surface to repair the additively manufactured wear surface.   
     
     
         16 . The method as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the material to repair the additively manufactured wear surface is the same as a material of the additively manufactured wear surface. 
     
     
         17 . The method as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the material to repair the additively manufactured wear surface is different than a material of the additively manufactured wear surface. 
     
     
         18 . The method as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the additively manufactured wear surface is on a swirler. 
     
     
         19 . The method as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the additively manufactured wear surface is on a fuel injector. 
     
     
         20 . The method as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the additively manufactured wear surface is on a fuel injector and a swirler, said wear surfaces in contact with one another.
