Abstract

Airfoils, additively manufactured airfoils, and methods of manufacturing airfoils are provided. For example, an airfoil comprises opposite pressure and suction sides that extend axially from a leading edge to a trailing edge and radially spaced apart inner and outer ends. The airfoil also comprises an outer wall defining the pressure and suction sides and leading and trailing edges. A rib extends within the airfoil from the pressure side to the suction side of the outer wall and radially from the inner to the outer end. The airfoil further comprises a first pre-impingement chamber surrounded by a first post-impingement chamber and a first dividing wall segment separating the first pre-impingement and first post-impingement chambers and having a plurality of cooling holes defined therein. The outer wall, rib, and first dividing wall segment are integrally formed as a single monolithic component.
