Abstract

See full text

A turbine airfoil with a plurality of breakout passages located just beneath a thermal barrier coating or just beneath the metal surface of the airfoil. The breakout passages are connected to an internal cooling air passage and allow for film cooling air to flow when a surface over the breakout passage has been chipped or eroded away to provide for additional cooling to the damaged airfoil surface. The breakout passages are formed during the casting process of the airfoil using a plurality of molding pieces. The breakout passages are formed along a direction of the pulling direction of the respective mold piece. This allows for the solidified airfoil to be easily removed from the mold assembly.
