Abstract: A method of manufacturing a core for casting a component can include manufacturing a core for at least partially forming an internal passage architecture of a component with a material including radiopaque particles. A method can include removing a material including radio opaque particles from an internal passage architecture of a component; and inspecting the component via radiographic imaging at gamma/X-ray wavelengths to detect residual material. A core for use in casting an internal passage architecture of a component can include a material with radiopaque particles dispersed therein.

Abstract: A method of forming a component includes the steps of placing a core into a mold and pouring a component material around the core. The component material is allowed to solidify. The core is then removed from within the material, leaving a component having at least a first and a second cavity formed by the core. A first filler material is moved into the first cavity, and a second filler material is moved into the second cavity. The component is inspected for the presence of an apparent residual core within the first cavity and the second cavity. The location is identified of the apparent residual core from the core based upon an identification of whether the location of the apparent residual core is in the first or second filler materials. A method of inspecting a component formed by investment casting is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of forming a metal single crystal turbine component with internal passageways includes forming a polycrystalline turbine blade with internal passageways by additive manufacturing and filling the passageways with a core ceramic slurry. The ceramic slurry is then treated to harden the core and the turbine component is encased in a ceramic shell which is treated to form a ceramic mold. The turbine component in the mold is then melted and directionally solidified in the form of a single crystal. The outer shell and inner ceramic core are then removed to form a finished single crystal turbine component with internal passageways.

The component (10) is solidified in the shell mold (22). The shell mold (22) is removed from the solidified component (10).
