    Abstract: A method for correction of thermal defects using tomographic scanning for additive manufacturing is provided. The method may include forming a portion of an object using an additive manufacturing system based on an intended three-dimensional (3D) model of the object that is in an additive manufacturing system format. The portion of the object is scanned using a tomographic scanner to obtain a model of the portion of the object in a tomographic scanner format. The model is converted from the tomographic scanner format into the additive manufacturing system format to obtain a converted tomographic model; and the converted tomographic model is compared to the intended 3D model to identify a defect in the portion of the object. A modified 3D model may be generated of the object correcting the intended 3D model to address the defect of the portion of the object.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an impingement insert for a gas turbine engine. The impingement insert includes an insert wall having an inner surface and an outer surface spaced apart from the inner surface. A nozzle extends outwardly from the outer surface of the insert wall. The nozzle includes an outer surface and a circumferential surface. The insert wall and the nozzle collectively define a cooling passage extending from the inner surface of the insert wall to the outer surface of the nozzle. The cooling passage includes an inlet portion, a throat portion, a converging portion extending from the inlet portion to the throat portion, an outlet portion, and a diverging portion extending from the throat portion to the outlet portion. The cooling passage further includes a cross-sectional shape having a semicircular portion and a non-circular portion.
