  • Patent number: 11920486
    Abstract: A high-temperature component according to an embodiment is a high-temperature component which requires to be cooled by a cooling medium, and includes: a plurality of cooling passages through which the cooling medium is able to flow; and a first partition wall disposed inside each of the cooling passages to partition the cooling passage into a plurality of first branch flow passages. The first partition wall includes an oblique portion formed such that, in an upstream side region of the first partition wall, a flow-passage cross-sectional area of the cooling passage as seen in an extension direction of the cooling passage gradually decreases from an upstream side toward a downstream side.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11746663
    Abstract: A high-temperature component according to an embodiment is a high-temperature component which requires cooling by a cooling medium, and includes: a plurality of cooling passages through which the cooling medium is able to flow; a header portion to which downstream ends of the plurality of first cooling passages are connected; and at least one outlet passage for discharging the cooling medium flowing into the header portion to outside of the header portion. A roughness of an inner wall surface of the at least one outlet passage is not greater than a roughness of an inner wall surface of the plurality of first cooling passages in a region where a flow-passage cross-sectional area of the outlet passage is the smallest.

  • Patent number: 11702944
    Abstract: A high-temperature component including a plurality of cooling passages through which the cooling medium can flow, a header connected to respective downstream ends of the plurality of cooling passages, and one or more outlet passages for discharging the cooling medium flowing into the header to outside of the header. The one or more outlet passages are less in number than the plurality of cooling passages. Respective minimum flow passage cross-sectional areas of the one or more outlet passages are not less than respective flow passage cross-sectional areas of the plurality of cooling passages in a connection between the header and the cooling passages. A sum of the respective minimum flow passage cross-sectional areas of the one or more outlet passages is less than a sum of the respective flow passage cross-sectional areas of the plurality of cooling passages in the connection between the header and the cooling passages.

  • Publication number: 20220371093
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an additively manufactured object includes: checking, for an additively manufactured object including a plurality of internal passages, the presence or absence of a deposit in each inner wall surface of the plurality of internal passages; and selectively removing the deposit from the internal passage in which the deposit has been detected in the checking, among the plurality of internal passages.
