The electrode carrier arrangement has a carrier frame and an electrode frame, where at least one electrode is detachably fastened to the electrode frame.

A method of wire-electric-discharge-machining (wEDM) a feature in a part includes using wEDM, cutting and detaching a slug from a portion of the part that is to be detached from the part to define the feature, and thereby defining a validation cut-out in the portion, and using wEDM, cutting and detaching the portion having the validation cut-out from the part and thereby defining the feature.

The invention relates to a method for producing a rotor of a flow engine, namely an integrally bladed rotor with an integral outer shroud, comprising at least the following steps: a rotor blank comprising the integral rotor blades and the integral outer shroud is first produced by means of a generative production method; the rotor blank is then subjected to a separating surface treatment at flow-guiding sections and is subjected, separately therefrom, to a machining surface treatment at non-flow-guiding sections.

Techniques for forming a dual-walled component for a gas turbine engine that include chemically etching at least one of a hot section part or a cold section part to form an etched part having plurality of support structures and bonding the etched part to a corresponding cold section part or a corresponding hot section part to form a dual-walled component, with the plurality of support structures defining at least one cooling channel between the at least one of the hot section part or the cold section part and the corresponding cold section part or the corresponding hot section part.

In some examples, a method for forming an abrasive coating on a component (e.g., a turbine blade, vane, or knife ring) of a gas turbine engine. The method may include forming an abrasive coating system on a substrate, the abrasive coating system including an abrasive coating including a plurality of abrasive particles in a metal matrix; machining the abrasive coating on the substrate to define a machined abrasive coating having an abrasive coating thickness profile; and etching an outer surface of the machined abrasive coating to remove a portion of the metal matrix and form an etched metal matrix such that the abrasive particles protrude from the metal matrix.

Methods of repairing a part having a firtree-shaped feature requiring rework are disclosed. An embodiment of the method includes receiving the part having the firtree-shaped feature requiring rework. The part is installed in a machine configured for wire electrical discharge machining (EDM). A location of the firtree-shaped feature relative to a datum of the machine is then determined. Wire EDM is performed on the firtree-shaped feature.
