Forming and assembly method for multi-axial pivoting combustor liner in gas turbine engine

A multi-axial pivoting liner within the combustion system of a turbine engine allows the system to work with minimum thermal interference, especially during system operation at transient conditions, by allowing the liner to pivot and slide about its centerline and relative to the turbine scroll. The pivoting liner has the ability to control and minimize air leakage from part to part, for example, from the liner to the turbine scroll, during various operating conditions. Additionally, the liner provides for easy assembly with no flow path steps. Finally, the pivoting liner tolerates thermal and mechanical stresses and minimizes thermal wear.
