Shroud segment and method of manufacturing
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a shroud segment, including separately molding at least first and second parts by powder injection molding. The first part has an inner surface and at least one fluid passage in communication with the inner surface. The second part has an outer surface complementary to the inner surface of the first part. At least one of the inner and outer surfaces is formed to define a plurality of grooves. A plurality of cooling passages in fluid communication with the at least one fluid passage are defined with the plurality of grooves by interconnecting the inner and outer surfaces while the first and second parts remain in a green state. The interconnected parts are debound and sintered to fuse the parts to define at least a portion of the shroud segment including the cooling passages.
