MANUFACTURE OF TURBOOBLADE WITH METALLIC CORE AND CERAMIC PLATE

摘要

A finished ceramic airfoil is provided having within it a lining of thermal insulation and a fusible core having the desired contour of the metal core of the turbine blade. A casting mold is provided around the airfoil. The fusible core is melted and removed, leaving a cavity in the airfoil surrounded by the insulation lining. The cavity is filled with molten metal which is allowed to solidify to form the metal core of the turbine blade.
