Abstract

See full text

A hot gas path component of an industrial machine includes a cooling pathway with a lattice structure therein. The component and lattice structure are made by additive manufacturing. The component includes an outer surface exposed to a working fluid having a high temperature; a thermal barrier coating over the outer surface; an internal cooling circuit; and a cooling pathway in communication with the internal cooling circuit and extending towards the outer surface. A lattice structure is in the cooling pathway at the outer surface. The lattice structure is configured to support the thermal barrier coating over the cooling pathway and in response to a spall in the thermal barrier coating occurring over the cooling pathway, allow a cooling medium from the internal cooling circuit to pass therethrough.
