Turbine vane restoration system

摘要

A system and method for reconfiguring a turbine vane. In at least one embodiment, the system may be used to straighten an airfoil of a turbine vane segment to remove lean, twist, or racking, or any combination thereof. The airfoil may be straightened by fixing portions of the forward and aft hooks of the inner and outer shrouds of the turbine vane, restricting other portions of the forward and aft hooks of the inner and outer shrouds of the turbine vane to only move rotationally about a centerline of the inner or outer shrouds, and applying a load to various portions of the inner and outer shrouds and the airfoil to return the turbine vane to be within predetermined specifications.
