Abstract

A component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a body portion that includes a first wall spaced apart from a second wall and disposed about a centerline axis. At least one rib extends between the first wall and the second wall. The at least one rib extends along a rib axis that is transversely angled relative to the centerline axis. At least one impingement hole extends through the at least one rib.

Claims (27)

1 . A component for a gas turbine engine, comprising:

a body portion that includes a first wall spaced apart from a second wall and disposed about a centerline axis;

at least one rib that extends between said first wall and said second wall, wherein said at least one rib extends along a rib axis that is transversely angled relative to said centerline axis; and

at least one impingement hole that extends through said at least one rib.

2 . The component as recited in claim 1 , wherein said body portion is an airfoil of one of a blade and a vane.

3 . The component as recited in claim 1 , wherein said body portion is part of one of a blade outer air seal (BOAS) and a combustor liner.

4 . The component as recited in claim 1 , comprising a cooling circuit disposed within said body portion and including at least a first cavity and a second cavity in fluid communication with said first cavity.

5 . The component as recited in claim 1 , wherein said first wall is a suction side wall and said second wall is a pressure side wall.

6 . The component as recited in claim 1 , wherein said at least one impingement hole is oriented toward said first wall.

7 . The component as recited in claim 1 , wherein said at least one impingement hole is oriented toward said second wall.

8 . The component as recited in claim 1 , wherein said at least one rib includes a first impingement hole that is oriented toward said first wall and a second impingement hole that is oriented toward said second wall.

9 . The component as recited in claim 1 , comprising a second rib that extends between said first wall and said second wall, wherein said second rib extends along a second rib axis that is transversely angled at a different angle relative to said centerline axis than said rib axis of said at least one rib.

10 . The component as recited in claim 1 , wherein said at least one rib is positioned within a trailing edge portion of said body portion.

11 . The component as recited in claim 1 , wherein an interior surface of at least one of said first wall and said second wall includes a plurality of augmentation features.

12 . The component as recited in claim 11 , wherein said at least one impingement hole fluidly connects a first cavity and a second cavity of said component.

13 . A component for a gas turbine engine, comprising:

a body portion that includes a first wall spaced apart from a second wall and disposed about a centerline axis;

at least one rib that extends between said first wall and said second wall, wherein a first portion of said at least one rib extends along a first rib axis that is angled at a first angle relative to said centerline axis and a second portion of said at least one rib extends along a second rib axis that is angled at a second angle relative to said centerline axis; and

at least one impingement hole that extends through said at least one rib.

14 . The component as recited in claim 13 , wherein said first portion and said second portion are located at different radial locations of said at least one rib.

15 . The component as recited in claim 13 , wherein said at least one impingement hole is oriented toward at least one of said first wall and said second wall.

16 . The component as recited in claim 13 , wherein said at least one rib includes impingement holes that are oriented toward both said first wall and said second wall.

17 . A casting system for manufacturing a gas turbine engine component, comprising:

a casting article that represents the dimensional negative of a cooling circuit of the gas turbine engine component, wherein the casting article includes at least one transversely angled opening that is configured to form at least one rib at a transverse angle relative to a centerline axis of the gas turbine engine component.

18 . The casting article as recited in claim 17 , wherein said casting article is a core.

19 . The casting article as recited in claim 17 , wherein said casting article is a shell.

20 . The casting article as recited in claim 17 , wherein said casting article includes at least one opening and at least one indent.
