Abstract: A system for automated adaptive manufacturing of airfoil castings is disclosed. The system may receive a three dimensional scan of a work piece. The system may compare the three dimensional scan to a digital model of the work piece. The system may identify an area of dimensional abnormality on the work piece based on the comparison. The system may alter the area of dimensional abnormality on the work piece.

Abstract: A turbine airfoil includes an airfoil outer wall that defines leading and trailing ends and first and second sides that join the leading and trailing ends. At least one cooling passage is embedded in the airfoil outer wall and has a radially-elongated entrance manifold, a radially-elongated diffuser orifice that opens to an exterior surface of the airfoil outer wall, and a bank of sub-passages fluidly connecting the radially-elongated entrance manifold with the radially-elongated diffuser orifice. The radially-elongated diffuser orifice is sloped relative to the radially-elongated entrance manifold.

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 gas turbine engine component has a component body configured to be positioned within a flow path of a gas turbine engine having an external pressure, and wherein the component body includes at least one internal cavity having an internal pressure. At least one inlet opening is formed in an outer surface of the component body to direct hot exhaust gas flow into the at least one internal cavity, and there is at least one outlet from the internal cavity. The internal pressure is less than an inlet external pressure at the inlet opening and the internal pressure is greater than an outlet external pressure at the outlet opening to controllably ingest hot exhaust gas via the inlet opening and expel the hot exhaust gas via the outlet opening to maintain a laminar boundary layer along the outer surface of the component body.

Abstract: A method of removing features from a cast workpiece includes generating a nominal toolpath for machining the cast workpiece. The cast workpiece is mounted onto a platform of a computer numeric control machine. The cast workpiece is inspected with a probe to generate probe data. Features to be removed are identified based upon the probe data generated during the inspection. Any expected features of the cast workpiece that are missing from the cast workpiece are identified. A transformation matrix is applied to the nominal toolpath with a controller of the computer numeric control machine, wherein the transformation matrix is based upon the probe data. Alignment of the cast workpiece is adjusted relative to the computer numeric control machine based on the transformation matrix with the computer numeric control machine. Features are removed from the cast workpiece that were identified during inspection.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an aerodynamic element with an edge is provided. The method includes producing the aerodynamic element with an initial condition, cooling the aerodynamic element, generating a predefined number of data points sufficient to characterize contours of the edge and comparing the data points to a nominal condition to derive transformation parameters applicable to cutting toolpaths to adapt the cutting toolpaths to the initial condition.
