  • Method for improving the wear resistance of a support region between a turbine outer case and a supported turbine vane
    Publication number: 20040261265
    Abstract: A wear-resistant assembly of a turbine outer case and a turbine vane is fabricated by providing a turbine outer case, and a turbine vane that, when assembled, is supported on the turbine outer case in a support region such that a vane-support area of the turbine vane contacts a case-support area of the turbine outer case. A wear-resistant material is welded to a weld area of at least one of the vane-support area and the case-support area. In some circumstances, as where the turbine outer case and the turbine vane have previously been in service, material may be machined from the support region before the welding.
