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 gas turbine engine blade includes a platform that has an inner side and an outer side, a root that extends outwardly from the inner side, and an airfoil that extends outwardly from a base at the outer side to a tip end. The airfoil includes a leading edge and a trailing edge and a first side wall and a second side wall. The first side wall and the second side wall join the leading edge and the trailing edge and at least partially define one or more cavities in the airfoil. The airfoil has a span from the base to the tip end, with the base being at 0% of the span and the tip end being at 100% of the span. The first side wall includes an axial row of cooling holes at 90% or greater of the span.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine component has a component body configured to be positioned within a flow path of a gas turbine engine, wherein the component body includes at least one internal cavity. At least one inlet opening is formed in an outer surface of the component body to direct flow into the at least one internal cavity. At least one outlet from the internal cavity, wherein the at least one outlet is located at a lower pressure area in the internal cavity than the at least one inlet opening such that flow is drawn into the internal cavity from the at least one inlet opening and expelled out the at least one outlet. A gas turbine engine and a method of enhancing laminar flow for a gas turbine engine component are also disclosed.

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 method of manufacturing a casting is provided and includes establishing desired dimensions of a nominal casting, executing a casting process to produce multiple actual castings with each of the multiple actual castings having respective dimensions that differ from each other and from the desired dimensions of the nominal casting and engaging one or more tools to adaptively machine, without rigidly-programmed toolpaths, each of the multiple actual castings to reduce the respective differences between the actual dimensions of each of the multiple actual castings and the desired dimensions.

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.
