Turbine engine component and method of making the same

摘要

A method for manufacturing a turbine engine component comprises the steps of forming a first half (12) of an airfoil portion (10) of the turbine engine component and forming a first cooling microcircuit (120) having at least one passageway on an exposed internal wall (20) of the first half (12) of the airfoil portion (10). The method further comprises forming a second half (14) of the airfoil portion (10) of said turbine engine component, forming a second cooling microcircuit (120') having at least one passageway on an exposed internal wall (22) of the second half (14) of the airfoil portion (10), and placing the first half (12) in an abutting relationship with the second half (14) after the cooling microcircuits (120,120') have been formed and inspected.
