    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for determining a hole completing in laser drilling of a hole in a near wall of an airfoil. The method includes drilling a hole in the near wall of the airfoil using a laser drill. The laser drill may move in a pattern relative to the airfoil. The method also includes determining when the drilling of the hole is complete based on a calculated time duration between successive breakthroughs of a laser from the laser drill through the near wall of the airfoil, or based on a calculated time duration since the latest breakthrough of the laser from the laser drill through the near wall of the airfoil.

    摘要: A system for forming a passage in an airfoil includes a liquid-jet guided laser that generates a laser beam confined within a fluid column, and a purge medium supply that is fluidly coupled to an aperture of the airfoil. A purge medium flows from the purge medium supply in a flow direction that is substantially parallel to an inner surface of the inner cavity. A controller is configured to direct the liquid-jet guided laser to cut a first passage through the outer surface. A centerline of the passage forms an acute angle with respect to the purge medium flow direction. The first passage is formed at a first radial position that is radially distal to the aperture. A method for forming passages in an airfoil using the system described herein is also disclosed.

    摘要: A method for drilling a hole in a component is provided. The method includes directing a confined laser beam of a confined laser drill towards a near wall of the component and sensing a first characteristic of light from the hole in the near wall of the component with a first sensor positioned outside the component. The method also includes sensing a second characteristic of light from the hole in the near wall the component with a second sensor. The second characteristic of light is different from the first characteristic of light. Additionally, the method includes determining a hole progress based on the sensed first characteristic of light and the sensed second characteristic of light.

    摘要: A system for forming a cooling hole in an airfoil includes a liquid-jet guided laser. The liquid-jet guided laser generates a laser beam confined within a fluid column. The fluid column/laser beam is directed at an outer surface of the airfoil. The system also includes a purge medium supply that is fluidly coupled to an aperture of the airfoil. The purge medium supply provides a purge medium into an inner cavity of the airfoil. The purge medium flow is oriented to flow in a flow direction that is substantially parallel to an inner surface of the cavity. A cooling hole is formed in the airfoil and extends through the outer surface and penetrates the inner surface of the cavity. A centerline of the cooling hole forms an acute angle with respect to the purge medium flow direction. The system described herein provides a method for manufacturing an airfoil.
