ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method of making a fused pattern/core combination for a gas-turbine blade or component. A plurality of powder layers are fused together by a laser beam in a layer-by-layer fashion to produce the pattern/core combination. The core may have thin sections having a thickness of about 0.06 of an inch.
