<p>A method of drilling a hole (20) in a wall of a component (10), the component (10) defining a cavity (12) having a surface, the method having the steps of: inserting a two-phased material (104) into the cavity; inserting at least one solid element (102) of energy beam (22) resistant material into the cavity; solidifying the two-phased material (104) to secure the solid element (102) in a fixed position; and drilling the hole (20) with an energy beam (22) wherein the surface of the cavity is protected from damage by at least one of the two-phase material or the solid element of energy beam resistant material.</p> |
