    摘要: A method for simultaneously laser shock peening opposite laser shock peening surfaces on opposite sides of an article, such as a gas turbine engine airfoil, with varying thickness using oppositely aimed laser beams and varying surface fluence of the laser beams over the laser shock peening surfaces as a function of the thickness of the article beneath each one of a plurality of laser shock peened spots formed by the beams on the surfaces. The fluence may be equal to the thickness multiplied by a volumetric fluence factor, the volumetric fluence factor being held constant over the laser shock peening surface. The volumetric fluence factor may be in a range of about 1200 J/cm3 to 1800 J/cm3 and more particularly about 1500 J/cm3. Laser beam energy may be varied with a computer program controlling firing of the laser beam.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine airfoil is repaired by machining away airfoil material along at least a portion of at least one of leading and trailing edges and a radially outer tip forming at least one cut-back area and forming a weldment by welding successive beads of welding material into the cut-back area. Desired finished dimensions of the repaired airfoil are obtained by machining away some of the weld bead material in the weldment and then deep compressive residual stresses are imparted in a pre-stressed region extending into and encompassing the weldment and a portion of the airfoil adjacent the weldment. The compressive residual stresses may be are imparted after either rough machining or final finishing thereafter of the weldment. The cut-back area may extend up to about 90% of the airfoil's span and have a maximum cut-back depth up to about 0.22 inches.
