METHOD FOR REPAIRING A HOUSING OF AN AIRCRAFT ENGINE

摘要

A method of repairing a housing part of an aircraft engine. An existing cylindrical bore can be widened to a conical bore or a conical bore can be produced. A filler comprising a material of the same type as a material of the housing part can be prepared. The filler can have a conical peripheral surface configured to fit into the conical bore. The filler can be rotated so that material of the filler and material of the housing part heat up by rotational friction and are plastified. The filler and the housing part can be upset against each other in an axial direction. The filler can be worked so that it finishes flush with the housing part. If a cylindrical bore was initially present, a bore corresponding to the original bore can be produced through the filler.
