A method for producing a sealing component has a body made of superalloy covered by a coating to be placed in contact with a gas turbine blade tip. Steps are carried out in which: a) the new coating is produced by moulding from an alloy of a cobalt-nickel-chromium-aluminium-yttrium (CoNiCrAlY) type further containing between 0.5 and 5% by mass (wt %) of boron, and b) the superalloy body and the new coating are brazed together in order to obtain the said sealing component.

A method of remanufacturing a turbine blade having a platform includes placing a puck against a surface of the platform. The method may include electrical discharge machining an interface between the puck and the platform and brazing the puck to the platform. A total radial thickness of a finally remanufactured platform of the remanufactured turbine blade is greater than an initial radial thickness of the platform before remanufacturing the turbine blade.

A rotor for use in an aircraft engine, that has been repaired by (a) welding together a first portion of a damaged blade of the rotor and a second portion of metal to form a weld nugget, (b) compressively stressing the weld nugget throughout its volume, and (c) heat treating the compressively stressed weld nugget to recrystallize metal therein.

A method of repairing a cast article defect, in accordance with various embodiments, is disclosed herein. The method may comprise: machining an aperture at a defect location of a cast article; coating a plug side surface of a plug with a braze material; coating at least one of a top surface or a bottom surface of the plug with an excess braze material; inserting the plug into the aperture from the inner surface of the cast article towards the outer surface of the cast article and leaving at least one void between a the braze material and a side surface of the aperture; and heating the cast article and the plug.

A method for repairing in-situ an oil manifold of the aft end bearing assembly of a gas turbine is provided that is cost-efficient, effective and dramatically reduces the costs for repair of a leaking oil manifold.

A dual walled component includes a spar comprising a plurality of pedestals; a coversheet attached to a first set of pedestals from the plurality of pedestals; and a repaired coversheet portion attached to a second set of pedestals from the plurality of pedestals and to the coversheet, where the repaired coversheet portion includes a braze material.

A casing for a combustor includes an upstream segment, a downstream segment and a joint. The downstream segment is constructed and arranged to move telescopically with respect to the upstream segment and along a centerline. The joint includes a flange and bonding material, which attaches the flange to the upstream segment or the downstream segment. A melting point of the bonding material is less than a melting point of the flange and/or a melting point of the segments.

A multi-piece part includes multiple pieces fabricated via different types of fabrication processes, wherein the multiple parts are configured to be coupled to one another to form the assembly. At least one of the multiple parts is fabricated via an additive manufacturing method. The multi-piece part also includes a holder assembly that couples and holds together the multiple pieces of the multi-piece part, wherein the holder assembly comprises a reversible, mechanical-type coupling.

A method for treating a turbine diaphragm and a treated turbine diaphragm are provided. The method includes the step of removing a portion of the turbine diaphragm. The method further includes the step of forming a coupon having a geometry that corresponds to the portion of the turbine diaphragm removed. The method further includes joining the coupon to the turbine diaphragm. At least a portion of the coupon is a pre-sintered preform. The treated turbine diaphragm includes a substrate and a coupon joined to the substrate, wherein at least a portion of the coupon is a pre-sintered preform.

Methods for repairing a trailing edge of an airfoil are provided. The method can include removing a portion of the trailing edge of the airfoil to form an intermediate component, and then applying using additive manufacturing a replacement portion on the intermediate component to form a repaired airfoil. The replacement portion defines at least one trailing edge ejection slot.
