METHOD OF CREATING HEAT TRANSFER FEATURES IN HIGH TEMPERATURE ALLOYS

Abstract:

A method for forming a gas turbine engine component comprises the steps of forming a first portion from a high temperature alloy material, and forming a second portion from the high temperature alloy material, the first and second portions each defining an external surface and an internal surface. At least one heat transfer feature is formed directly on the internal surface of at least one of the first and second portions. The first and second portions are attached together to form a component. A component for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
