Abstract
Turbine and compressor casing abradable component embodiments for turbine engines vary localized porosity or abradability through use of holes or dimple depressions of desired polygonal profiles that are formed into the surface of otherwise monolithic abradable surfaces or rib structures. Abradable porosity within a rib is varied locally by changing any one or more of hole/depression depth, diameter, array pitch density, and/or volume. In various embodiments, localized porosity increases and corresponding abradability increases axially from the upstream or forward axial end of the abradable surface to the downstream or aft end of the surface. In this way, the forward axial end of the abradable surface has less porosity to counter hot working gas erosion of the surface, while the more aft portions of the abradable surface accommodate blade cutting and incursion with lower likelihood of blade tip wear.
