Adaptive cover for cooling pathway by additive manufacture
A hot gas path component of an industrial machine includes an adaptive cover for a cooling pathway. The component and adaptive cover are made by additive manufacturing. The component includes an outer surface exposed to a working fluid having a high temperature; a thermal barrier coating over the outer surface; an internal cooling circuit; and a cooling pathway in communication with the internal cooling circuit and extending towards the outer surface. The adaptive cover is positioned in the cooling pathway at the outer surface. The adaptive cover includes a heat transfer enhancing surface at the outer surface causing the adaptive cover to absorb heat faster than the outer surface, e.g., when a spall in a thermal barrier coating thereover occurs.
