GAS TURBINE ENGINES AND METHODS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18104371 titled 'GAS TURBINE ENGINES AND METHODS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a method of forming a gas turbine engine component. - The method involves creating cooling apertures in a preform structure of the component. - The preform structure includes a first cooling aperture and a second cooling aperture, which have different cross-sectional shapes. - A coating is then applied to the preform structure to form the final component. - The cross-sectional shapes of the cooling apertures in the final component are approximately the same as each other. - This method allows for improved cooling efficiency and performance in gas turbine engine components.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of forming a gas turbine engine component, the method including forming a plurality of cooling apertures in a preform structure of the component, the plurality of cooling apertures of the preform structure comprising a first cooling aperture and a second cooling aperture, wherein cross-sectional shapes of the first and second cooling apertures of the preform structure are different from one another, as measured in a same relative plane; and applying a coating to at least a portion of the preform structure to form the component, wherein a cross-sectional shape of the first and second cooling apertures of the component are approximately the same as one another, as measured in the same relative plane.
