Abstract:
A method of fabricating airfoil cluster includes providing an airfoil cluster that has a pair of spaced-apart airfoils that extend from a common platform wall. The airfoil cluster is then divided through the common platform wall to provide separate first and second airfoil segments. At least one cooling hole is then formed in at least one of the first and second airfoil segments. The segments are then metallurgically fused together in a distinct metallurgical joint in the common platform wall.
Abstract:
A component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a platform having a first path side and a second path side and a platform cooling circuit disposed on one of the first path side and the second path side of the platform. The platform cooling circuit includes a first core cavity, a cavity in fluid communication with the first core cavity, and a cover plate positioned to cover at least the cavity.
Abstract:
A component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure including, among other things, an airfoil that extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge and a cooling circuit disposed inside of the airfoil. The cooling circuit includes at least one core cavity that extends inside of the airfoil, a baffle received within the at least one core cavity, a plurality of pedestals positioned adjacent to the at least one core cavity and a first plurality of axial ribs positioned between the plurality of pedestals and the trailing edge of the airfoil.
