The second case segment is circumferentially adjacent and attached to the first case segment at a joint.

A cooled machine component having a body with at least one integrated cooling channel having a lattice structure for guiding a cooling fluid through an interior, the lattice structure arranged as a void space penetrated by a plurality of hollow or solid struts. The lattice structure has an inlet for providing the cooling fluid to be guided through the void space of the lattice structure, and has an outlet for receiving the cooling fluid, the outlet being fluidically connected to a hollow interior of at least one of the plurality of hollow struts. At least a subset of the hollow struts provides a fluidic connection for cooling fluid from the outlet to a plurality of further downstream discharge ports. Walls of the body surrounding each of the plurality of further downstream discharge ports are physically connected to corresponding jackets of the at least one of the plurality of hollow struts.

Methods and systems for characterizing holes in a combustor liner of a gas turbine engine, and associated repair methods are provided. One method comprises receiving first measured data of the combustor liner in an uncoated state. The method includes determining a first location and a first orientation of a first hole and a first location and a first orientation of a second hole in the combustor liner using the first measured data. The method includes receiving second measured data of the combustor liner in a coated state where the second hole is at least partially obstructed by a coating and the first hole is substantially unobstructed by the coating. The method includes inferring a second location of the second hole of the combustor liner in the coated state using a known spacing between the first location of the first hole and the first location of the second hole. The characterization of the holes may be used to re-drill the obstructed second hole.

An airfoil component for attaching to a cropped airfoil is provided. The cropped airfoil comprises a cropped airfoil attachment section and a cropped first side opposite a cropped second side, which each extend axially between a cropped first edge and a cropped second edge to define a cropped chord length. The airfoil component comprises a body having a component first side opposite a component second side. The body defines an attachment section for attaching the airfoil component to the cropped airfoil at the cropped airfoil attachment section. The attachment section extends axially between a component first edge and a component second edge to define a component chord length, and the attachment section is oversized with respect to the cropped airfoil attachment section such that the component chord length is longer than the cropped chord length. Systems and methods also are provided.

Methods of servicing a fuel nozzle are provided. a method of servicing a fuel nozzle includes a step of machining away material from a nozzle tip of the fuel nozzle to form an annular groove within the nozzle tip. The method further includes a step of inserting a replacement coupon into the annular groove. The replacement coupon having a radially outermost that corresponds to the annular groove and a post-removal contact surface. The method further includes a step of fixedly coupling the radially outermost of the replacement coupon to the annular groove.

Provided is a system for improving the efficiency of a work for attaching a heat insulating member to the surface of a device requiring heat insulation. The member attachment support system supports the work of attaching a plurality of members to the device. The member attachment support system comprises: an identification information storage unit which is provided for each of the plurality of members, and stores identification information associated with the attachment position of the member; a terminal device which acquires identification information from the identification information storage unit; and a display device which displays a support image that indicates the attachment position, on the device, corresponding to the identification information acquired by the terminal device.

Method for constructing impingement/effusion cooling features in a component of a combustion turbine engine is provided. A pocket 102 may be arranged between an outer wall 104 and an inner wall 106 of the component. A lasing device 108 allows drilling through the component to form an effusion hole 110. The lasing device further allows welding closed an opening 117 formed at outer wall 104 of the component during the drilling with the lasing device through the component. Lasing device 108 further allows drilling through outer wall 104 of the component to form an impingement hole 118 for the impingement/effusion cooling feature. The proposed methodology in a multi-panel arrangement, for example, eliminates a need of having to pre-drill such holes in individual panels prior to the bonding and forming of the component, which overcomes various drawbacks commonly associated with such pre-drilling.

Additive-based electroforming manufacturing methods for producing turbomachine components and other metallic articles are provided, as are metallic articles manufactured utilizing such manufacturing methods. In various embodiments, the method includes the step or process of additively manufacturing a sacrificial tooling structure having a component-defining surface region. A metallic body layer or shell is deposited over the component-defining surface region utilizing an electroforming process such that a geometry of the component-defining surface region is transferred to the body layer. The tooling structure is chemically dissolved, thermally decomposed, or otherwise removed, while the metallic body layer is left substantially intact. After tooling structure removal, the metallic body layer is further processed to complete fabrication of the metallic component. In certain implementations, the method may further include the step or process of depositing an electrically-conductive base coat over the component-defining surface region of the tooling structure for usage in the subsequently-performed electroforming process.
