  • Method for repairing composite components using a plug
    Patent number: 11548102
    Abstract: A method for repairing composite components includes installing a plug within a feature defined by a composite component, with the plug being formed from one or more neutral materials. Furthermore, the method includes infiltrating the composite component with an infiltrant to densify a repair region of the composite component, with the plug blocking a flow of the infiltrant into the feature. Moreover, after infiltrating the composite component, the method includes removing the plug from the feature.

  • METHOD FOR REPAIRING COMPOSITE COMPONENTS USING FILLER MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20220041519
    Abstract: A method for repairing composite components includes positioning repair material within a repair region of a composite component formed of a composite material. Furthermore, the method includes filling a feature defined by the composite component with a filler material, with the filler material being a precursor to the composite material. Additionally, after filling the feature with the filler material, the method includes infiltrating the composite component with an infiltrant to densify the repair region and the filler material such that the feature is filled with new material.
