NONCIRCULAR COOLING BORE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING IT

摘要

In a method of forming a cooling bore in a wall of a workpiece, the configuration of a feed section and a diffuser section is selected, a throughbore is produced with a cross-sectional area within the cross-sectional area of the feed section, and the diffuser section is cut out by a beam- or jet-drilling method in such a way that the drilling beam or jet in the region of the feed section remains essentially within the cross-sectional area of the latter.
