  • Foundry core assembly for manufacturing a turbomachine blade, associated method of manufacturing a blade and associated blade
    Patent number: 9890644
    Abstract: A foundry core for manufacturing a blade of a turbomachine including a tip section offset, including a core element for forming various internal cavities, the core element including a leading-edge cavity internal core, central cavity internal cores, and a trailing-edge cavity internal core. The internal core for the central cavity adjacent to the internal core for the trailing-edge cavity includes a bulge extending toward the core for the leading-edge cavity.
    Type: Grant
