Abstract: A blade includes an airfoil defined by a pressure side outer wall and a suction side outer wall connecting along leading and trailing edges and form a radially extending chamber for receiving a coolant flow. A rib configuration may include: a leading edge transverse rib connecting the pressure side outer wall and the suction side outer wall and partitioning the radially extending chamber into a leading edge passage within the leading edge of the airfoil and a central passage adjacent to the leading edge passage. One or both camber line ribs connect to a corresponding pressure side outer wall and suction side outer wall at a point aft of the leading edge transverse rib causing the central passage to extend towards one or both of the pressure side outer wall and the suction side outer wall, resulting in a flared center cavity aft of the leading edge.

Abstract: Additive manufactured components including portions having distinct porosities, and systems/methods of forming components including portions having distinct porosities are disclosed. The components may include a first portion having a first porosity. The first portion may include a first exposure pattern of a plurality of scan vectors extending over the first portion. The first exposure pattern may define the first porosity of the first portion. The component may also include a second portion positioned adjacent the first portion. The second portion may include a second porosity greater than the first porosity of the first portion. Additionally, the second portion may include a second exposure pattern of a plurality of scan vectors extending over the second portion. The second exposure pattern may be distinct from the first exposure pattern of the first portion, and may define the second porosity of the second portion.

Abstract: A blade includes an airfoil defined by a pressure side outer wall and a suction side outer wall connecting along leading and trailing edges and forming a radially extending coolant receiving chamber. A rib partitions the radially extending chamber into a first passage on a first side of the rib and an adjacent second passage on an opposing second side of the rib. Each passage is enclosed at an end of the radially extending chamber by an end member of the radially extending chamber. A turn opening is defined in an end of the rib through which the coolant passes between the first passage and the second passage within the end member of the radially extending chamber. A bulbous projection extends along the end of the rib and on opposing radially extending sides of the turn opening to reduce stress in the rib and/or connecting fillets.

Abstract: A turbine blade airfoil including various internal cavities that are fluidly coupled is disclosed. The airfoil may include a first pressure side cavity positioned adjacent a pressure side of the airfoil. The first pressure side cavity may receive a coolant. The airfoil may also include a second pressure side cavity positioned adjacent to and fluidly coupled to the first pressure side cavity, and at least one channel positioned between and fluidly coupling the first and second pressure side cavities. The channel may be positioned radially between a top surface and a bottom surface of the first and second pressure side cavities. Additionally, the airfoil may include a trailing edge cooling system positioned adjacent a trailing edge and in direct fluid communication with the first pressure side cavity. The trailing edge cooling system may receive a portion of the coolant from the first pressure side cavity.

Abstract: An airfoil includes a body, a cooling passage, a first cooling cavity, a second cooling cavity, a cooling conduit, and a connecting conduit. The body defines an interior and includes a tip rail with an exterior surface extending between a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface. The cooling passage is formed within the interior. The first cooling cavity and the second cooling cavity are spaced from each other within the tip rail. The cooling conduit fluidly couples the cooling passage with the first cooling cavity. The connecting conduit fluidly couples the first cooling cavity to the second cooling cavity.
