COMPONENTS WITH COOLING CHANNELS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

A manufacturing method is provided. The manufacturing method includes forming one or more grooves in a component that comprises a substrate with an outer surface. The substrate has at least one interior space. Each groove extends at least partially along the substrate and has a base and a top. The manufacturing method further includes processing an intermediate surface of the component to plastically deform the surface adjacent at least one edge of a respective groove, such that the distance across the top of the groove is reduced. Another manufacturing method is provided and includes processing an intermediate surface of the component to facet the intermediate surface in the vicinity of the groove.
