MANUFACTURING METHODS FOR MULTI-LOBED COOLING HOLES
A method for producing a diffusion cooling hole extending between a wall having a first wall surface and a second wall surface includes forming a cooling hole inlet at the first wall surface, forming a cooling hole outlet at the second wall surface, forming a metering section downstream from the inlet and forming a multi-lobed diffusing section between the metering section and the outlet. The inlet, outlet, metering section and multi-lobed diffusing section are formed by laser drilling, particle beam machining, fluid jet guided laser machining, mechanical machining, masking and combinations thereof.
COOLING HOLE WITH SHAPED METER
A gas turbine engine component having a cooling passage includes a first wall defining an inlet of the cooling passage, a second wall generally opposite the first wall and defining an outlet of the cooling passage, a metering section extending downstream from the inlet, and a diffusing section extending from the metering section to the outlet. The metering section includes an upstream side and a downstream side generally opposite the upstream side. At least one of the upstream and downstream sides includes a first passage wall and a second passage wall where the first and second passage walls intersect to form a V-shape.
Turbine engine airfoil and method of cooling
A component, such as for a turbine engine, can include an airfoil with an outer wall defining an exterior surface bounding an interior and defining a pressure side and a suction side extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge to define a chord-wise direction and extending between a root and a tip to define a span-wise direction. The component can also include at least one cooling passage within the interior.
Turbine HGP component with stress relieving cooling circuit
A turbine hot gas path (HGP) component includes a body having an exterior surface exposed to a hot gas path, and a cooling circuit defined along an interior surface of the body and fluidly coupled to a coolant source. The cooling circuit includes a plurality of sections spaced from one another but fluidly connected. Each section includes a wall defining at least one cooling passage, and a connector wall coupling between the wall of a first section of the plurality of sections and the wall of an adjacent, second section of the plurality of sections. The wall of the first section and the wall of the adjacent, second section are spaced apart, segregating stress between the sections. The connector wall is more flexible than: the wall of the first section, the wall of the adjacent, second section, and the body, allowing stress relief between the sections.
NESTED VANE ARRANGEMENT FOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE
An assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes at least one platform having a main body extending between a first mate face and a second mate face to establish a gas path surface.
