Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A manufacturing method is provided. During this method, a preform component is provided for a turbine engine. The preform component includes a substrate. A meter section of a cooling aperture is formed in the substrate. An internal coating is applied onto a surface of the meter section. An external coating is applied over the substrate. A diffuser section of the cooling aperture is formed in the external coating and the substrate to provide the cooling aperture.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A component for a turbine engine, comprising: a substrate comprising metal; an external coating over the metal substrate, the external coating comprising ceramic; a plurality of cooling apertures, a first of the plurality of cooling apertures including a meter section and a diffuser section, the meter section formed in the substrate, and the diffuser section formed in the substrate and the external coating; and an internal coating at least partially lining the first of the plurality of cooling apertures within the substrate; wherein the component is configured as an airfoil or a flowpath wall for the turbine engine. 2. The component of claim 1 , wherein the internal coating comprises an aluminide coating. 3. The component of claim 1 , wherein the diffuser section is configured as a multi-lobed diffuser section. 4. The component of claim 1 , wherein the external coating comprises ceramic. 5. The component of claim 1 , further comprising: a bond coating applied on the metal substrate; the external coating applied onto the bond coating; and the diffuser section formed through the bond coating. 6. The component of claim 5 , wherein the bond coating comprises MCrAlY; the M comprises at least one of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co) or iron (Fe); and the Y or the X comprises at least one of hafnium (Hf), yttrium (Y) or silicon (Si). 7. The component of claim 5 , wherein the bond coating comprises MAlCrX; the M comprises at least one of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co) or iron (Fe); and the Y or the X comprises at least one of hafnium (Hf), yttrium (Y) or silicon (Si). 8. The component of claim 1 , further comprising: a bond coating applied onto at least a portion of the internal coating; the external coating applied onto the bond coating; and the diffuser section formed through the bond coating. 9. The component of claim 1 , wherein the component comprises an airfoil for the turbine engine. 10. The component of claim 1 , wherein the component comprises a flowpath wall for the turbine engine.
