FORMING LINED COOLING APERTURE(S) IN A TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENT
A manufacturing method is provided. During this method, a preform component is provided for a turbine engine. The preform component includes a substrate. A meter section of a cooling aperture is formed in the substrate. An internal coating is applied onto a surface of the meter section. An external coating is applied over the substrate. A diffuser section of the cooling aperture is formed in the external coating and the substrate to provide the cooling aperture.
FORMING LINED COOLING APERTURE(S) IN A TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENT
A manufacturing method is provided. During this method, a preform component is provided for a turbine engine. The preform component includes a substrate. A preform meter section and a preform diffuser section are formed in the substrate. An internal coating is applied to at least the preform meter section to provide a meter section of a cooling aperture. External coating material is applied over the substrate. The applying of the external coating material forms an external coating over the substrate. The applying of the external coating also builds up the external coating material within the preform diffuser section to form a diffuser section of the cooling aperture.
FORMING COOLING APERTURE(S) USING ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING
A manufacturing method is provided. During this method, a preform component is provided for a turbine engine. The preform component includes a substrate comprising electrically conductive material having an outer coating comprising non-electrically conductive material applied over a surface of the substrate. A preform aperture is formed in the preform component using an electrical discharge machining electrode. The preform aperture includes a meter section of a cooling aperture in the substrate. The preform aperture also includes a pilot hole in the outer coating. A diffuser section of the cooling aperture is formed in at least the outer coating using a second machining process.
PRODUCING HOLES IN GLASS CONTAINERS
A glass container that includes a base defining a hole, and methods of manufacturing and using the glass container, is disclosed. The glass container is manufactured by providing the container and cutting a hole in a wall of the container. The hole may be cut into the wall by any technique in which glass material is separated from the wall including by mechanical shearing, thermal energy, and/or fluid impingement. To use the glass container, a deformable blow-out plug may be inserted into the hole to fluidly seal the hole, a liquid beverage may be introduced into the container, a closure may be coupled to the container to close the container and provide a pressurizable package, and thereafter the package may be internally pressurized by introducing a pressurizing gas into the package.
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.
PROCEDURE FOR LASER DRILLING A PLURALITY OF HOLES ON THE BASIS OF THE FOCAL POSITION
A method for producing a plurality of holes in a curved surface, wherein the individual holes are removed layer by layer, the first layers to be removed of the holes being arranged at different distances in a Z-direction of the laser, the holes each being processed in a specific focal position, wherein only the holes detected from the same focal position are processed.
