COMPONENTS WITH COOLING CHANNELS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

A component is provided and includes a substrate comprising an outer and an inner surface, where the inner surface defines at least one hollow, interior space. The component defines one or more grooves, where each groove extends at least partially along the outer surface of the substrate and has a base and a top. The base is wider than the top, such that each groove comprises a re-entrant shaped groove. One or more access holes are formed through the base of a respective groove, to connect the groove in fluid communication with the respective hollow interior space. Each access hole has an exit diameter D that exceeds the opening width d of the top of the respective groove. The diameter D is an effective diameter based on the area enclosed. The component further includes at least one coating disposed over at least a portion of the surface of the substrate, wherein the groove(s) and the coating together define one or more re-entrant shaped channels for cooling the component. A method for manufacturing the component is also provided. A method for manufacturing a component is also provided, where the groove and the access hole(s) are machined as a single continuous process, such that the groove and the access hole(s) form a continuous cooling passage.
