Abstract

See full text

Small cooling holes, e.g. 0.25-0.9 mm diameter, in cast hollow turbine blades are provided by delivering successive pulses of laser energy to the surface of the blade until penetration of the blade is complete. By leaving the ceramic casting core in situ within the blade during drilling, the laser beam is prevented from striking through to the far wall of the cavity defined by the ceramic core within the blade. The ceramic core is subsequently removed by leaching techniques common to the art.
