Abstract
A method of manufacturing a shroud segment for gas turbine engine includes providing an insert having a plurality of pins that extend into a platform cavity portion of a mold cavity. A powder injection molding feedstock is injected. When the green part is disengaged from the mold, each elongated feature is slid out of the green part to define a respective elongated cooling passage in the platform. The method may include, after debinding and sintering, projecting a coating material while defining an obstruction between source of coating material and the open end of each elongated feature with a shoulder of the element to prevent the coating material from reaching the open end, followed by machining to remove at least a part of the shoulder.
