Abstract
The gas turbine engine part can have a heat sink portion having a surface having a plurality of protrusions distributed over an area of the surface, the protrusions projecting away from the surface and including protrusions being adjacent to one another and collectively forming an identifier. A flow of cooling air can be directed to the protrusions forming the identifier to cool the part.
