Refractory metal core

摘要

A casting system for forming a gas turbine engine component is provided. The casting system, in a first embodiment, comprises a shaped refractory metal sheet (10) having a plurality of features (18-24) for forming a plurality of film cooling passages, which features are formed from refractory metal material bent out of the sheet. The casting system for forming a gas turbine engine component in a second embodiment comprises a metal wall (30) having an airfoil shape and a refractory metal core (32) adjacent the metal wall (30) and having a shape corresponding to the shape of the metal wall (30).
