Abstract:
A method for working an airfoil cluster is disclosed. The method may include attaching a first datum to a first portion of the airfoil cluster and a second datum to a second portion of the airfoil cluster; adding material to at least one of the first portion and the second portion; and joining the first portion to the second portion, the first and second datums substantially aligned in a common plane spaced away from the first and second portions.

Abstract:
A method of fabricating airfoil cluster includes providing an airfoil cluster that has a pair of spaced-apart airfoils that extend from a common platform wall. The airfoil cluster is then divided through the common platform wall to provide separate first and second airfoil segments. At least one cooling hole is then formed in at least one of the first and second airfoil segments. The segments are then metallurgically fused together in a distinct metallurgical joint in the common platform wall.

Abstract:
A method to fill a gap in a liner panel according to one disclosed non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure includes: applying a nickel braze alloy composition onto a gap in a liner panel; subjecting the nickel braze alloy composition to a melt cycle; and subjecting the nickel braze alloy composition to a diffusion cycle after the melt cycle.
