Abstract
A turbine engine component assembly includes a first part comprising a ceramic matrix composite material and having a first flange defining a first borehole, a second part defining a second borehole, and a pin inserted, in an axial direction, through the first borehole and the second borehole to connect the first part to the second part. The pin includes a first contact portion positioned at a first axial location of the pin corresponding to the first borehole and an elongated portion extending axially from the first contact portion. The first contact portion includes a first chamfered section, a second chamfered section, and a first contact surface between the first chamfered section and the second chamfered section. The first chamfered section and the second chamfered section slope away from the first contact surface with decreasing diameters.
