Method of surface marking a mechanical part with a predefined graphical representation visible to the naked eye
The invention relates to a method of surface marking a mechanical part with a predefined graphical representation, the method comprising using a laser source to apply a single laser pulse to an outside surface of a part for marking, with a mask being interposed between the laser source and the outside surface of the part, the mask having a predefined graphical representation, and the laser pulse having power flux density of at least 20 MW/cm.sup.2 and a duration less than or equal to 100 ns.
MODIFIED COMPONENTS AND METHODS FOR MODIFYING COMPONENTS
A component has an edge extending in a first direction. The component includes a filler disposed in the component. The filler has at least a first portion and a second portion. The first portion extends in a second direction from the edge into the component. The second portion of the filler extends from the first portion in a third direction. The second direction is substantially orthogonal to the first direction.
Anti-deflection feature for additively manufactured thin metal parts and method of additively manufacturing thin metal parts
A conduction riser additively manufactured onto thin metal parts, the conduction riser extending in a build direction of the thin metal part and traversing the thin metal part as the conduction riser extends in the build direction.

FORMING COOLING APERTURE(S) IN A TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENT
A manufacturing method is provided during which a substrate aperture is formed through a substrate of a preform component for a turbine engine using a first machining process. A coating system is applied onto the substrate to provide a coated substrate. A coating aperture is formed through the coating system using a second machining process that is different than the first machining process. The second machining process includes percussion laser drilling. At least the substrate aperture and the coating aperture collectively form a cooling aperture through the coated substrate.
Balance correction device for rotor
A single-body balance correction range in which a weight has been removed by single-body balance correction performed on a turbine wheel (a rotor) as a single body is calculated, an assembly balance correction range is calculated in an assembled state of the turbine wheel, and assembly balance correction is performed in a case where the single-body balance correction range and the assembly balance correction range overlap each other, such that an outermost diameter of an arc-shaped assembly-balance correction groove provided by removal of an inner part of a turbine wheel head is smaller than a remaining height a of the single-body balance correction range.
Turbine airfoil film cooling holes
A turbomachinery component includes an airfoil section with a cooling passage extending within the airfoil section. A wall is defined between the cooling passage and an exterior surface of the airfoil. At least one row of cooling holes is positioned along a cooling portion of the external wall proximate a leading edge of the airfoil for fluid communication between the cooling passage and the exterior surface of the airfoil. The cooling portion of the airfoil wall is thicker than an average adjacent airfoil wall thickness.
