There is provided a component (10, 110, 110a, 210) comprising a body (12, 112) comprising a ceramic matrix composite material (14, 114), a top surface (16, 116), a bottom surface (18, 118), and a through thickness (20, 120) between the top surface (16, 116) and the bottom surface (18, 118). A plurality of first grooves (24) and second grooves (26) extend from the top surface (16, 116) down into the through thickness (20, 120) of the body (12, 112) in a predetermined pattern (50). A dopant material (135) may also be provided which enhances the thermal resistance properties of the ceramic matrix composite material (14, 114) may be further be included in the component (10, 110, 110a, 210). |
