The present invention relates to a method for producing and/or repairing wear-stressed recesses or openings on components (22) of a turbomachine, especially of elements of a flow passage boundary, and also to corresponding components, wherein the method comprises: producing an at least two-layer molded repair part (15), one layer (2) of which is formed by an Ni-solder and a further layer (3) of which is formed from a mixture of an Ni-solder (4) and hard material particles (5) of hard alloys on a base of cobalt or nickel and which at least partially has an outer shape which is complementary to the inner shape of the recess (20) or opening which is to be repaired, inserting the molded repair part (15) into the recess (20) or opening and at least partially heat-treating the component (22) for soldering the molded repair part (15) onto the component.

A technique for repairing a dual walled component comprising a spar comprising a plurality of pedestals and a coversheet attached to the plurality of pedestals may include removing a damaged portion of the coversheet from the dual walled component to expose a plurality of exposed pedestals and define a repair location and an adjacent coversheet portion. The technique also may include filling space between the plurality of exposed pedestals with a stop material. The stop material may define a surface substantially aligned with a pedestal-contacting surface of the adjacent coversheet portion. In some examples, the method additionally includes positioning a braze material on the surface of the stop material and attaching the braze material to the plurality of exposed pedestals and adjacent coversheet portion to form a repaired coversheet portion.

A pre-sintered preform (114) and a repair process (100) utilizing the pre-sintered preform (114) are disclosed, each of which result in a brazement (116) comprising a replacement protective coating (118) deposited on a component surface (110). The protective coating (118) exhibits excellent temperature and oxidation resistance, improved adhesion to superalloy surfaces, and reduced depletion over a service life of the associated component (102).

A method may include removing a portion of a base component adjacent to a damaged portion of the base component to define a repair portion of the base component. The base component may include a cobalt- or nickel-based superalloy, and the repair portion of the base component may include a through-hole extending from a first surface of the base component to a second surface of the base component. The method also may include forming a braze sintered preform to substantially reproduce a shape of the through-hole. The braze sintered preform may include a Ni- or Co-based alloy. The method additionally may include placing the braze sintered preform in the through-hole and heating at least the braze sintered preform to cause the braze sintered preform to join to the repair portion of the base component and change a microstructure of the braze sintered preform to a brazed and diffused microstructure.

Various embodiments include a metal-repaired ceramic matrix composite (CMC) article, and a method of repairing a CMC article having a defect. Particular embodiments include a method including: removing a defect-containing portion of the CMC article; forming at least one opening in a remaining portion of the CMC article; preparing a metal repair preform for replacing at least the removed portion of the CMC article, wherein a portion of the metal repair preform complements the at least one opening; and attaching the metal repair preform to the remaining portion of the CMC article.
