Abstract
Modified turbine components include an original turbine component comprising an outer wail enclosing an internal cavity, wherein the outer wall has an original portion removed therefrom to expose the internal cavity, and, an internally cooled supplemental element joined to the outer wall that replaces the original portion removed from the outer wall and re-encloses the internal cavity. The internally cooled supplemental element comprises one or more cooling channels that circulate air from the internal cavity through at least a portion of the internally cooled supplemental element.
