    Abstract: During the manufacturing process for turbine blades and vanes, among other hollow articles, the hollow cavities can become contaminated. Removal of the contaminants is a tedious, time consuming process which commonly results in component rework or rejection. Introducing a polymeric foam filler into the hollow cavities, prior to manufacturing, prevents contamination; enhancing manufacturing, efficiency and component integrity. Filling is by gravity via a boot (60) or negative pressure infiltration. Subsequent removal is by solvent or heat. The blade or vane can be encapsulated using a mould or moulding paper.
