Abstract
A filled abradable seal component, an associated method of manufacturing, and a turbomachine including the filled abradable seal component are disclosed. The method includes positioning the abradable seal component including a plurality of honeycomb cells, applying a filler material on the abradable seal component to fill the plurality of honeycomb cells, and curing the filler material at a temperature below 250 degrees Celsius to produce the filled abradable seal component. The filler material includes an abradable material, a binder material, and a fluid catalyst. The abradable material includes at least one of nickel chromium aluminum-bentonite, cobalt nickel chromium aluminum yttrium-polyester, cobalt nickel chromium aluminum yttrium-boron nitride, aluminum silicon-bentonite, aluminum bronze-polyester, nickel graphite, or aluminum silicon-boron nitride. The binder material includes at least one of aluminum, nickel-aluminum, aluminum thiophosphate, or aluminum thiosulfate. The fluid catalyst includes a solvent having hydroxyl groups.
