  • Publication number: 20070163113
    Abstract: A method of restoring a gas turbine engine component includes repairing a turbine airfoil along a chordwidth dimension to rebuild a trailing edge of the turbine airfoil to near original dimensions. An eroded portion of the trailing edge of the turbine airfoil is removed and a filler material is deposited onto the trailing edge to produce a laser cladding. During the laser cladding process, a barrier member is inserted into a slot that extends through the trailing edge to prevent filler material from entering the slot and to act as a heat sink to remove heat from the trailing edge during the laser cladding process.

  • Publication number: 20070160476
    Abstract: A method of restoring a gas turbine engine component includes depositing a filler material onto a sulphidation section of an underside of a turbine engine platform and laser consolidating the filler material to produce a restored surface on the underside. The sulphidation section includes sulphidation pit portions that are filled during the laser consolidating to produce the restored surface. An eroded trailing edge of a turbine airfoil is laser cladded to produce a restored trailing edge thickness.
