    Abstract: A nozzle or blade for a turbomachine includes an airfoil body including at least one first coolant passage, and an edge opening in a leading edge or a trailing edge of the airfoil body. The edge opening has an edge coupon retention member seat in or on an inner surface of the airfoil body. An edge coupon has a shape at least partially configured for coupling to the edge opening in the airfoil body. The edge coupon includes an edge coupon body, at least one second coolant passage in the edge coupon body configured for fluid communication with the at least one first coolant passage in the airfoil body, and a retention member extending from the edge coupon body for coupling to the edge coupon retention member seat in the airfoil body.

    Abstract: A blade for a turbomachine, a tip for a blade of a turbomachine and a related method are disclosed. The blade may include a tip body having a shape at least partially configured for coupling to an airfoil body of the blade; at least one coolant passage in the tip body configured for fluid communication with at least one coolant passage in the airfoil body; and a retention member extending from the tip body for coupling to a tip retention member seat in the airfoil body. The tip can be replaced, allowing for changes in the coolant passages in the tip of a blade.

    Abstract: A method for counteracting tensile stress in an article is disclosed, including heating the article and applying compressive stress to the article along a compressive stress vector, the compressive stress vector including a compressive stress vector component opposite in direction to a tensile stress vector of a thermally-induced tensile stress of the article. The compressive stress is applied by thermally-induced autogenous pressure by a fixture contacting the article. A fixture for counteracting tensile stress is disclosed, including a first compression member and a second compression member, and a position lock connecting the first compression member to the second compression member and reversibly fixing the first compression member relative to the second compression member. The first compression member and the second compression member include compressive surfaces having mating conformations for surfaces of an article. The position lock includes a material composition.
