Minimizing blockage of holes in turbine engine components

An airfoil (10) for use in a gas turbine engine is provided, the airfoil (10) having a hole (20) therein. A ceramic plug (30) is inserted in the hole (20) so that the plug (30) extends above a depth (D) of a thermal barrier coating (25), such as a ceramic, to be placed on the airfoil (10). The airfo...

Zusammenfassung:An airfoil (10) for use in a gas turbine engine is provided, the airfoil (10) having a hole (20) therein. A ceramic plug (30) is inserted in the hole (20) so that the plug (30) extends above a depth (D) of a thermal barrier coating (25), such as a ceramic, to be placed on the airfoil (10). The airfoil (10) is then coated by non-line of sight vapor deposition and the plugs (30) are then removed.
