This heat-conducting layer enables the heat of friction generated when a fragment is jammed inbetween a moving and a stationary member, to be dissipated extremely rapidly over a large surface area to keep the titanium casing material from reaching the ignition temperature, whereby the ignition of titanium fires is prevented.Field of SearchINCLUDING HEAT INSULATION OR EXCHANGE MEANS (E.G., FINS, LAGGING, ETC.)Working fluid on at least one side of heat exchange wall Specific casing or vane material CASING AND SPACED HOUSING WITH SPACE VENTED TO WORKING FLUID Plural serial axial-flow blade sets with intermediate stationary flow diverter(s) INCLUDING DESTRUCTIBLE, FUSIBLE, OR DEFORMABLE NON-REUSABLE PART Passage or casing attached removable liner or wear member INCLUDING ADDITIONAL MEANS CAUSING OR CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW FOR HEAT EXCHANGING, LUBRICATING OR SEALING Means subjected to or is working fluid WORKING FLUID BYPASS | |
