  • Patent number: 9403244
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for repairing an abradable coating of a compressor of a gas turbine, where a worn abradable coating is repaired, where an analysis and/or selection of areas of the abradable coating to be repaired is conducted by means of a boroscope in the non-removed state of the gas turbine, where a tool is passed through at least one boroscope aperture of the gas turbine to the area to be repaired and the worn abradable coating is at least partially removed, where the removed material is extracted, where the area of the abradable coating to be repaired is cleaned and/or prepared for application of a repair medium, where a hardenable aluminum oxide-based repair medium is applied to the area to be repaired by means of a type of airbrush and then hardened, and where the area provided with the repair medium is subsequently mechanically treated.

  • Publication number: 20120125523
    Abstract: A gas-turbine casing includes a sandwiched structure of a wall 30, a honeycomb structure 31 and a top layer 29, with the wall 30, the honeycomb structure 31 and the top layer 29 being bonded by epoxy resin. A repair method for the casing includes a first working step where the top layer 29 and the honeycomb structure 31 are removed mechanically in an area to be repaired. Afterwards, the surface of the wall 30 is cleaned of the epoxy resin by a laser beam. In a further working step, at least one prefabricated replacement piece is bonded in place.
