摘要:
A system (100) for fabricating and testing an article having a thermal-spray coating thereon. The system enables the use of a method which includes providing (102) a substrate article having a surface, thermally spraying (104) a coating material onto the surface of the substrate article, wherein a surface of contact between the coating material and the substrate article is a bondline, and nondestructively testing (106) the coated article. Nondestructively testing includes generating (108) an eddy current in the coated article, measuring (110) the eddy current in the coated article, and evaluating (112) a near-bondline region of the coated article located adjacent to the bondline using the measured eddy current.

A method facilitates repairing a gas turbine engine compressor blade airfoil (20). The method comprises removing titanium alloy material (61) from along leading and trailing edges (34 and 36) of the airfoil, and along a radially outer tip (40) of the airfoil to form respective leading edge, trailing edge, and tip cut-backs (62, 64, and 66) which each define cut-back depths (D 1 , D 3 , D 2 ), and depositing titanium weld material onto the leading edge, trailing edge, and tip cut-backs. The method also comprises removing at least some of the titanium weld bead material to obtain pre-desired finished dimensions for the leading and trailing edges, and radially outer tip.

A method for replacing a portion of a gas turbine engine rotor blade, the rotor blade having a contour defined by a blade first sidewall (70) and a blade second sidewall (70) includes cutting through the rotor blade such that a cut line (110) extends from a leading edge (74) of the blade to a trailing edge (76) of the blade, and between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, removing the portion of the rotor blade that is radially outward of the cut line, and coupling a replacement blade portion (120) to remaining blade portion (98) such that the newly formed rotor blade (150) is formed with a predetermined aerodynamic contour.

摘要:
A wear-resistant assembly of a turbine outer case (22) and a turbine vane (34) is fabricated by providing a turbine outer case (22), and a turbine vane (34) that, when assembled, is supported on the turbine outer case (22) in a support region such that a vane-support area (52) of the turbine vane (34) contacts a case-support area (54) of the turbine outer case (22). A wear-resistant material is welded to a weld area of at least one of the vane-support area (52) and the case-support area (54). In some circumstances, as where the turbine outer case (22) and the turbine vane (34) have previously been in service, material may be machined from the support region before the welding.

An article having a thermal-spray coating (46) thereon is prepared by thermally spraying a coating material (41) onto a surface (42) of a substrate article (44). The coated article (40) is nondestructively tested by directing a transmitted ultrasonic signal (68) into the coated article (40), receiving a received ultrasonic signal (72) from the coated article (40), and evaluating a near-bondline region (50) of the coated article (40) located adjacent to the surface (42) of the article using the received ultrasonic signal (72).
