Abstract

A cooled shroud for a gas turbine engine comprises an annular metallic supporting member having holes therethrough for the flow of cooling air and a layered coating on its inner face. The layered coating comprises a first layer of porous material through which the cooling air may permeate, and a second layer of impermeable ceramic covering all but selected areas of the surface of the first layer. In this way the cooling air is largely constrained to flow along the porous material to provide good cooling with relatively low air flow.
