Thermal barrier coated squealer tip cavity

摘要

A turbine blade squealer tip includes an airfoil shaped tip cap having a squealer tip wall extending radially outwardly from and around the perimeter of the airfoil shaped tip cap to define a radially outwardly open tip cavity. The tip wall has an inboard side facing the interior of the cavity and an outboard side facing away from the cavity and the tip cap has an outer tip side on a bottom of the cavity. Thermal barrier coatings are disposed on the inboard and outboard sides of the squealer tip wall and on the outer tip side of the tip cap. One embodiment provides the tip cap with cooling holes disposed therethrough to flow cooling air into the cavity.
