Abstract: A build unit for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects may include an energy beam system having one or more irradiation devices respectively configured to direct one or more energy beams onto a region of a powder bed, and an inertization system including an irradiation chamber defining an irradiation plenum, one or more supply manifolds, and a return manifold. The one or more supply manifolds may include a downflow manifold configured to provide a downward flow of a process gas through at least a portion of the irradiation plenum defined by the irradiation chamber, and/or a crossflow manifold configured to provide a lateral flow of the process gas through at least a portion of the irradiation plenum defined by the irradiation chamber. The return manifold may evacuate or otherwise remove process gas from the irradiation plenum defined by the irradiation chamber. While irradiating the region of the powder bed, the process gas may flow through the one or more supply manifolds, into the irradiation plenum, and from the irradiation plenum into the return manifold.

Abstract: A rotor blade includes an airfoil portion that extends in a radial direction from a root end to a tip end. A plurality of internal airfoil cooling passages is defined in the airfoil portion. The rotor blade also includes a tip shroud. The tip shroud includes a shroud plate coupled to the tip end. A plurality of tip shroud cooling passages is defined within the shroud plate. Each of the tip shroud cooling passages extends within the shroud plate in a direction generally transverse to the radial direction. Each tip shroud passage includes an inlet coupled in flow communication with at least one of the airfoil cooling passages, and an exit opening defined in, and extending therethrough, a radially outer surface of the tip shroud. The exit opening is coupled in flow communication with the inlet.

Abstract: A turbine rotor blade includes a tip portion having a pressure tip wall and a suction tip wall, a tip leading edge and a tip trailing edge. Also included is a squealer cavity at least partially defined by the pressure tip wall and the suction tip wall. Further included is at least one hole defined by the suction tip wall, the at least one hole configured to bleed a cooling flow out of the squealer cavity into a hot gas path to reduce pressure within the squealer cavity. Yet further included is a main body having a suction side wall and a pressure side wall each extending from a root portion of the turbine rotor blade to the tip portion.

Abstract: A turbine rotor blade that includes: an airfoil defined between a pressure face and a suction face; a tip shroud that includes a seal rail projecting from an outboard surface and, formed thereon, a cutter tooth; and a cooling configuration that includes a cooling channel for receiving and directing a coolant through an interior of the rotor blade. The cooling channel may include fluidly connected segments, in which: a supply segment extends radially through the airfoil; a cutter tooth segment is formed within the cutter tooth of the seal rail; and branching segments formed within at least one of the tip shroud and an outboard region of the airfoil. Each of the branching segments may extend between an upstream port, which connects to the cutter tooth segment, and an outlet port, which is formed on a target surface area, so that the branching segment bisects a target interior region.
