    Abstract: A component for a turbine engine comprises a wall having a first wall surface and a second wall surface; and a cooling hole comprising a connecting passage extending between an inlet at the first wall surface and an outlet located at the second wall surface. The connecting passage includes: a metering section extending from the inlet toward the outlet and defining a centerline, and a diffusing section at the outlet defining first and second side walls, a first junction between the first side wall and the metering section and a second junction between the second side wall the metering section, the first side wall extending between the first junction and the outlet, and the second side wall extending between the second junction and the outlet. A metering section distance is measured between the centerline and a metering section wall of the metering section.

    Abstract: A method is provided for casting a component. Accordingly, data indicative of at least one location of a unitary core-shell mold which is susceptible to a stress concentration is received. An additive manufacturing process is employed to form the unitary core-shell mold defining a casting cavity. The unitary core-shell mold includes a shell wall defining an outer component shape and a core wall positioned inward of the shell wall. The core wall defines an inner component shape. The core wall and/or the shell wall defines at least one reinforcement recess adjacent to the at least one location which is susceptible to the stress concentration. Following the forming of the unitary core-shell mold, at least one support member is positioned within the reinforcement recess in contact with the at least one location. With the support member in place, the component is cast within the casting cavity.
