Abstract:
A blade includes a platform and a monolithic airfoil extending from the platform to a tip. The airfoil includes a first wall extending from a leading edge to a trailing edge, a second wall extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge and joined to the first wall at the leading edge, and at least one rib extending from the first wall to the second wall. The at least one rib and the first and second walls define a cavity. The blade also includes a baffle positioned within the cavity. The baffle has walls that are separate and distinct from and not attached to the at least one rib and the first and second walls of the airfoil. A method for forming a blade includes forming a platform and forming an airfoil and a baffle within the airfoil on a layer-by-layer basis using additive manufacturing.
