Abstract: A protection system for preventing foreign material from lodging in a channel between and/or damage to adjacent ceramic core features during a core processing operation is disclosed. The system includes a gasket sized and shaped to self-lock within the channel and prevent foreign material from lodging within the channel during the core processing operation. A method may include determining a geometrical characteristic of the channel and adjacent ceramic core feature; fabricating a gasket to fit and self-lock within the channel; positioning the gasket within the channel; and performing the core processing operation. The gasket prevents the foreign material from lodging in the channel, reducing subsequent damage to the ceramic core compared to the channel without the gasket.

Abstract: Calibration components having a turbomachine component form factor and methods of fabricating the calibration components using an additive manufacturing system are provided. A calibration component includes a main body and one or more representative quality indicators. The one or more representative quality indicators are disposed within the main body of the calibration component. The representative quality indicators include a cavity that has a material disposed within the cavity.
