  • Patent number: 7653994
    Abstract: A method for repairing a gas turbine stationary flowpath shroud. The method comprises providing a superalloy gas turbine stationary flowpath shroud that has previously been in service. The method further comprises preparing a restoration coating for application to the flowpath surface of the shroud by the steps of providing a precursor mixture comprising a higher-melting-point alloy component, a lower-melting-point alloy component, and a fugitive binder. A perform is prepared from the components and pre-sintered into a mildly curved form. The partially densified perform is applied to the flowpath surface and thermally bonded to the flowpath surface, forming a restoration coating.

  • Publication number: 20070107216
    Abstract: A method of producing a puck for coating a turbine shroud includes: providing a mixture of a metallic powder and a binder; melting the mixture and forming the mixture into a preform having a shape conforming to the flowpath surface of the shroud; removing a majority of the binder from the preform; and heating the preform with microwave energy to remove the remainder of the binder and to sinter the metal powder together to form the puck. A turbine shroud may be repaired by bonding the puck to its flowpath surface.
