Patent number: 9476307Abstract: The pattern has a pattern material and a casting core combination. The pattern material has an airfoil. The casting core combination is at least partially embedded in the pattern material. The casting core combination comprises a metallic casting core and at least one additional casting core. The metallic casting core has opposite first and second faces. The metallic core and at least one additional casting core extend spanwise into the airfoil of the pattern material. In at least a portion of the pattern material outside the airfoil of the pattern material, the metallic casting core is bent transverse to the spanwise direction so as to at least partially surround an adjacent portion of the at least one additional casting core.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Tracy A. Propheter-Hinckley, Justin D. Piggush, Yongxiang D. Xue, Amarnath Ramlogan, Anthony P. Cherolis, Matthew A. Devore, Eric P. Letizia

Patent number: 8137068Abstract: The pattern has a pattern material and a casting core combination. The pattern material has an airfoil. The casting core combination is at least partially embedded in the pattern material. The casting core combination comprises a plurality of metallic casting cores. Each metallic casting core has opposite first and second faces and a respective portion along the trailing edge of the airfoil. At least two of the metallic cores have sections offset between the pressure side and the suction side.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2008Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Raymond Surace, Justin D.

Patent number: 8113780Abstract: A gas turbine engine component has a leading edge and a trailing edge and a pressure side and a suction side. The pressure side and suction side extend between the leading edge and trailing edge. One or more cooling passageways extend through the airfoil and comprise a trunk extending from an inlet. At the inlet, there is an additional passageway adjacent the trunk and having at least one edge recessed relative to the trunk.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2009Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: Anthony P. Cherolis, Eric P. Letizia, Matthew A. Devore
