Metal trailing edge for laminated CMC turbine vanes and blades
Abstract:
A turbine blade includes a platform with an internal cavity formed therein and an airfoil extending radially from the platform. The turbine blade includes a first portion made from ceramic matrix composite materials and a second portion made from superalloy materials. The first and second portions are selectively connected to each other via a spur and include an internal cooling circuit extending across both the first and second portions for circulating coolant therethrough. At least one supply passage extends between the internal cooling circuit and the internal platform cavity and includes an array of pin fins and turbulators for diverting coolant to the internal platform cavity.
