  • Systems and methods for manufacturing film cooling hole diffuser portion
    Patent number: 11407065
    Abstract: A gas path component for a gas turbine engine includes a film cooling hole disposed in the gas path component. The film cooling hole includes a metering section, a diffuser, and a tapered surface extending between the metering section and the diffuser. The tapered surface is oriented between twenty degrees and seventy degrees with respect to a centerline axis of the metering section. The tapered surface is oriented at an obtuse angle with respect to an immediately adjacent surface of the diffuser, the obtuse angle is open towards the centerline axis. The tapered surface is configured to mitigate flow separation in the diffuser.
    Type: Grant

  • Systems and methods for manufacturing film cooling hole diffuser portion
    Patent number: 10773344
    Abstract: An electrode for electrical discharge machining (EDM) may comprise a diffuser portion and a tapered portion defining the tip of the electrode. A method for forming a film cooling hole may comprise moving a tool with respect to a film cooled gaspath component, forming a diffuser of the film cooling hole in response to the moving, and forming a tapered surface between a metering section and the diffuser of the film cooling hole.

  • Film cooling hole including offset diffuser portion
    Patent number: 10392943
    Abstract: A component for a gas turbine engine including a body having at least one internal cooling cavity and a plurality of film cooling holes disposed along a first edge of the body. At least one of the film cooling holes includes a metering section defining an axis, and a diffuser section having a centerline. The centerline of the diffuser section is offset from the axis of the metering section.
