Patent number: 9464363Abstract: A method for repairing a blade forming a cathode and having a surface to be coated defining a critical area, utilizing an anode, an electrolyte bath including insoluble particles, and a mounting on which the blade is mounted in a working position relative to a reference wall. The mounting is placed in the bath, and the particles and the metal of the anode are co-deposited to form the coating on the surface to be coated. The anode is typically placed facing the critical area and the mounting includes a mechanism for monitoring current lines to obtain a coating with a relatively constant, predetermined thickness for the critical area, that gradually falls to a value of substantially zero along edges of the coating.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2010Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignees: SNECMA, PRAXAIR SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Justine Menuey, Frederic Braillard, John Foster, Stephen Owens, Alan Taylor, Martin Chatterney
