<p>A method (200) of using a film-cooling insert for a turbine airfoil (12) is disclosed. The method (200) includes forming an airfoil sidewall (18) having a film-cooling hole (30) that extends between an airfoil cooling circuit (24) and an airfoil surface (21). The method (200) also includes forming a film-cooling insert (220) and disposing the film-cooling insert (230) in the film-cooling hole (30). A method (300) of reconstructing a film-cooling insert for a turbine airfoil (12) is also disclosed. The method (230) includes removing a remnant of a film-cooling insert (310) from a film-cooling hole (30) of a turbine airfoil (12). The method (230) also includes disposing a second film-cooling insert (320) in the film-cooling hole (30).</p> |
