Zusammenfassung:A component includes an outer wall that includes an exterior surface and an opposite interior surface. The component also includes at least one internal void defined adjacent the interior surface and configured to receive a cooling fluid therein. The component further includes a plurality of openings defined in and extending through the outer wall such that the outer wall defines an edge of each of the plurality of openings. Additionally, the component includes a plurality of separable plugs each positioned in a corresponding opening. Each of the separable plugs is sized to fit within the corresponding opening such that a clearance gap is defined between the separable plug and the edge of the corresponding opening. Each of the separable plugs is coupled to the outer wall by at least one tab that extends across the clearance gap from the each separable plug to the edge of the corresponding opening.
