    Abstract: A mounting plate for forming a gas turbine engine component according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a plate body defining an abutment dimensioned to mate with a forming die. The plate body defines at least one internal cooling circuit. The at least one internal cooling circuit includes a passageway having an intermediate portion interconnecting inlet and outlet portions. The intermediate portion is dimensioned to follow a perimeter of the abutment. The intermediate portion includes a plurality of fins extending partially from a first sidewall towards a second sidewall opposed to the first sidewall. A method of forming a gas turbine engine component is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of forming a gas turbine engine component according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, attaching a cover skin to an airfoil body, the airfoil body and the cover skin cooperating to define pressure and suction sides of an airfoil, and moving the airfoil in a forming line including a plurality of stations. The plurality of stations include a set of heating stations, a deforming station and a set of cool down stations. The moving step includes positioning the airfoil in the set of heating stations to progressively increase a temperature of the airfoil, then positioning the airfoil in the deforming station including causing the airfoil to deform between first and second dies, and then positioning the airfoil in the set of cool down stations to progressively decrease the temperature of the airfoil.
