Abstract
Systems and methods for reducing heat exposure of a turbine casing in a gas turbine engine may be provided. The system may include a blade track coupled with a turbine casing with a clip. The system may further include a nozzle guide vane coupled to the turbine casing. A cavity may be formed by an end of the blade track, the clip, and a portion of the nozzle guide vane. A heat shield may be positioned between the clip and the end of the blade track in the cavity such that an edge of the heat shield and the portion of the nozzle guide vane form a gap. The heat shield and the nozzle guide vane may be positioned such that the gap closes in response to the heat shield and the nozzle guide vane thermally expanding.
