Using inserts to balance heat transfer and stress in high temperature alloys
Abstract:
A method for forming a gas turbine engine component comprises the steps of forming a block of a high temperature alloy material. An external surface of the block is machined to form an external surface of a gas turbine engine component. At least one cooling passage within the component that is open to at least one end of the component is machined. At least one insert with a heat transfer feature is formed. The insert is installed within the at least one cooling passage. A component for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
