A gas turbine component subject to extreme temperatures and pressures includes a wall defined by opposite first and second surfaces. An airflow aperture through the wall is defined by an aperture wall surface which extends from a first opening in the first surface to a second opening in the second surface. The aperture wall surface is flared at a juncture with the first surface, such that the first opening has a greater cross-sectional flow area than the second opening. A high-pressure, high-temperature coating is adhered to the first surface, and adhered to at least a portion of the aperture wall surface.

Coated gas turbine components

An assembly may comprise a first part including a first surface, and a second part including a second surface and a bottom edge having sloped regions and at least one well between the sloped regions. The assembly may further comprise a brazed joint joining the first surface to the second surface. The at least one well may be configured to collect excess braze material from the brazed joint.
