Claims20
An airfoil comprising:
- an airfoil body having a geometrically segmented coating section, the geometrically segmented coating section including
- a wall having an outer side, the outer side including an array of cells that are closed-sided, and
- a coating disposed in the array of cells, wherein the geometrically segmented coating section is on a portion of the airfoil section, and an adjacent portion of the airfoil section includes the coating but excludes the cells.
A gas turbine engine comprising:
- a compressor section;
- a combustor in fluid communication with the compressor section;
- and
- a turbine section in fluid communication with the combustor,
- at least one of the turbine section or the compressor section including an airfoil having an airfoil body, the airfoil body including a geometrically segmented coating section, the geometrically segmented coating section including
- a wall having an outer side, the outer side including an array of cells that are closed-sided, and
- a coating disposed in the array of cells, wherein the geometrically segmented coating section is on a portion of the airfoil section, and an adjacent portion of the airfoil section includes the coating but excludes the cells.
