Abstract

See full text

An investment casting method for a cast ceramic core (110), including an airfoil portion (116) shaped to define an inner surface (56) of an airfoil (52) of a vane segment (50) and an integral shell portion (122) having a backside-shaping surface (120) shaped to define a backside surface (68) of a shroud (62) of the vane segment. The backside-shaping surface has a higher elevation (132) and a lower elevation (134). The higher elevation is set apart from a nearest point (138) on the airfoil portion by the lower elevation. The airfoil portion and the shell portion are cast as a monolithic body during a single casting pour.
