Abstract
A method of depositing a coating on a component of a turbine engine. The method includes forming a turbine component including at least one cooling flow passage in fluid communication with an aperture on a surface of the turbine component. A protective shield is formed on an inner surface of the at least one cooling flow passage and extending to an exterior of the turbine component via the aperture. During a coating process, the protective shield is configured to block the coating from being deposited in the at least one cooling flow passage via the aperture. Subsequent to coating, at least a portion of the protective shield is removed to provide for passage of a cooling fluid flow in the at least one cooling flow passage. The cooling fluid flow exits the turbine component through the aperture. A turbine component employing user of the protective shield is also disclosed.
