  • Patent number: 10570749
    Abstract: A component for a gas turbine engine is provided. The component having: a platform; an airfoil secured to and extending radially from the platform, the airfoil having an exterior surface extending from a leading edge and a trailing edge; an internal cooling cavity located within the airfoil; and a first row of pedestals extending between opposite sides of the internal cavity and a second row of pedestals adjacent to the first row of pedestals and extending between opposite sides of the internal cavity, wherein the first row of pedestals are further from the trailing edge than the second row of pedestals and a lowermost pedestal of the first row of pedestals is further from the platform than a lowermost pedestal of the second row of pedestals.

  • Patent number: 9476307
    Abstract: 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.
