Abstract: Methods of manufacturing or repairing a turbine blade or vane are described. The airfoil portions of these turbine components are typically manufactured by casting in a ceramic mold, and a surface made up of the cast airfoil and at the least the ceramic core serves as a build surface for a subsequent process of additively manufacturing the tip portions. The build surface is created by removing a top portion of the airfoil and the core, or by placing an ultra-thin shim on top of the airfoil and the core. The overhang projected by the shim is subsequently removed. These methods are not limited to turbine engine applications, but can be applied to any metallic object that can benefit from casting and additive manufacturing processes. The present disclosure also relates to finished and intermediate products prepared by these methods.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to integrated core-shell investment casting molds that provide a filament structure corresponding to a cooling hole pattern in the surface of the turbine blade, stator vane, or shroud. The disclosure also relates to the forming of a ceramic coating on at least a portion of the shell of the core-shell casting mold.

Abstract: A method of casting a truss structure having spaced face sheets connected by columnar structures, including forming a three-dimensional pattern (3D pattern) in the shape of the truss structure with the spaced face sheets and columnar structures, forming a mold core of the 3D pattern by surrounding the pattern with a liquid and letting the liquid harden about the 3D pattern, removing the 3D pattern from the mold core, filling the mold core with a liquid alloy to cast and directionally solidify the truss structure.

Abstract: A method for producing a layered object is provided. The method includes a) irradiating a given surface layer of the object with an energy beam to create an interaction zone on the surface layer; b) providing relative motion between the energy beam and the given surface layer so as to control the interaction between the energy beam and the given surface layer; c) introducing feedstock into the interaction zone so that the feedstock melts and forms a hot solidified surface after leaving the interaction zone; d) applying mechanical energy to the hot solidified surface; and e) repeating steps (a) through (d) to form at least part of the layered object.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a cast component and a method of forming a casting mold. The method is performed by connecting at least one wax gate component to a ceramic core-shell mold. The ceramic core-shell mold includes at least a first core portion, a first shell portion, and a second shell portion, wherein the first shell portion is adapted to interface with at least the second shell portion to form at least one first cavity between the core portion and the first and second shell portions. The core-shell mold may be inspected and assembled prior to connection of the wax gate component. At least a portion of the ceramic core-shell mold and the wax gate component is coated with a second ceramic material. The wax gate component is then removed to form a second cavity in fluid communication with the first cavity.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to casting molds including a casting core comprising an outer shell mold surrounding at least a portion of a casting core and a casting core comprising a second metal skin layer around a first metal component. In one aspect, at least one portion of the first metal component may be exposed on a surface of the outer shell mold. In another aspect, the outer shell mold may be configured to define a cavity in the casting core when the first metal component is removed and the second metal skin layer is not removed.
