Turbine platform repair using laser clad

摘要

A method of restoring a gas turbine engine component (32) includes removing a defect section (44) of a turbine engine component (32) according to a template (54). The template (54) has a standardized shape and is used in a standardized location on the turbine engine component (32). The template (54) is produced based upon common defect sections from other turbine engine components. A laser cladding (76) is used to build a replacement section in place of the defect section (44). Thus, the turbine engine component (32) is restored to near its original shape.
