  • COMPOSITE TURBOMACHINE COMPONENT AND RELATED METHODS OF MANUFACTURE AND REPAIR
    Publication number: 20180371922
    Abstract: Various aspects include a composite turbomachine component and related methods. In some cases, a method includes: identifying a location of potential or actual structural weakness in a body of a turbomachine component, the body including a first material having a first thermal expansion coefficient; forming a slot in the location of the body, the slot extending at least partially through a wall of the turbomachine component; and bonding an insert to the body at the slot to form a composite component, the insert including a second material having a second thermal expansion coefficient differing from the first thermal expansion coefficient by up to approximately ten percent, the second material consisting of a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy, wherein after the bonding the insert is configured to reduce the potential or actual structural weakness in the body.
