  • Methods of reinforcing combustor aperture and related combustor
    Patent number: 9377199
    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods of reinforcing apertures in turbomachine combustors, and related combustors. In various particular embodiments, a method of reinforcing an existing turbomachine combustor aperture includes: broaching the existing aperture to modify an initial profile of the existing aperture and form a modified profile, where the modified profile protrudes radially outwardly from an outer surface of the turbomachine combustor; and welding a combustor ring along an inner surface of the modified profile, where the modified profile enhances bonding between the existing aperture and the combustor ring.
