    Abstract: A directional translating clamping device comprises a housing that includes a distal housing end and proximate housing end separated along a central axis, and a housing recess at the proximate housing end and extending along the central axis end. The device also includes a slide located in the housing recess, and the slide comprises a slide recess at a slide proximate end co-axial with the housing recess, and a detent in a radial sidewall of the slide prevents the slide from translating beyond a predetermined axial distance along the central axis. A spring is located in the housing recess and exerts an axial force on the distal end of the slide. A stub shaft extends from the distal end of the housing. A roller ball assembly includes a threaded sidewall that engages with the slide recess to removably and replaceably secure the roller ball assembly to the slide.

    Abstract: A float assembly according to an example of the present disclosure includes a guide extending in a first direction that has a stand-up and a shelf. A cover is oriented in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and welded to the stand-up at a weld joint. An undersurface of the cover abuts the shelf, and the abutment begins at a first distance in the second direction from the weld joint and ends at a second distance in the second direction from the weld joint.

    Abstract: A gas turbine airfoil having internal cooling passages is formed by additive manufacturing. Layers of superalloy powder are fused by an energy beam using a two-dimensional pattern providing unmelted areas forming passageways therein. Layers of the powder are added and fused using sufficient two-dimensional patterns to form the entire airfoil with the desired pattern of internal cooling passages. After completion of the formation of the airfoil, it may be hot isostatic pressed, directionally recrystallized, bond coated, and covered with a thermal barrier layer.

    Abstract: A powder metallurgy method includes a canister that has canister walls that define a hermetic chamber that circumscribes an open central region. A metallic alloy powder is inserted into the hermetic chamber, followed by evacuating the hermetic chamber. The canister with the metallic alloy powder is then subjected to a hot isostatic pressing process that includes heating the canister and the metallic alloy powder and applying isostatic pressure to the canister. The heating and the isostatic pressure causes fusion and consolidation of the metallic alloy powder to form a solid workpiece. The canister is then removed from the solid workpiece.

    Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a first portion welded to a second portion along an interface such that at least the first portion establishes an airfoil section and the second portion establishes a root section mountable to a rotatable hub. The airfoil section includes an airfoil body extending between leading and trailing edges in a chordwise direction, extending between pressure and suction sides separated in a thickness direction, and extending from the root section in a spanwise direction to a tip portion. A recessed region extends inwardly from at least one of the pressure and suction sides. The airfoil body includes at least one rib bounding a respective pocket within a perimeter of the recessed region. A cover skin is welded to the airfoil body along the at least one rib to enclose the recessed region. A method of forming a gas turbine engine component is also disclosed.
