Abstract: A method and apparatus for brazed engine components include machining an engine component, such as using a casting process, to form an aperture in the component. A brazing material is provided in the aperture to close the aperture and seal an interior of the engine component. A shaped cooling hole is machined in the brazing material to cool the brazing material during engine operation.

Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine comprises a cooling circuit defined within the airfoil providing a flow of cooling fluid within the airfoil. The cooling circuit exhausts the flow of cooling fluid out a slot opening comprising an airfoil element. The slot opening further defines an acceleration zone and a deceleration zone to meter the flow of cooling fluid within the airfoil.

Abstract: A turbine engine comprises an airfoil having one or more internal cooling circuits. The cooling circuits can be fed with a flow of cooling fluid from one or more cooling air inlet passages in fluid communication with the cooling circuits. The cooling circuits can provide the cooling fluid flow within the airfoil to cool the airfoil, as well as provide a cooling fluid to a plurality of film holes to create a cooling film on the external surface of the airfoil.

Abstract: An airfoil comprises one or more internal cooling circuits. The cooling circuit can further comprise a near wall cooling mesh, fluidly coupling a supply passage to a mesh plenum. The mesh plenum can be disposed adjacent to the external surface of the airfoil having a plurality of film holes extending between the mesh plenum and the external surface of the airfoil. The mesh plenum can further comprise a cross-sectional area sized to facilitate machining of the film holes without damage to the interior of the airfoil.
