摘要 |
A method and system is described herein for repairing a part used in a gas turbine engine, which has a damaged or worn lubricant layer bonded to a surface of the part. After removing the damaged or worn lubricant layer, a polymeric adhesive may be used to attach a replacement lubricant layer to the metal surface. The polymeric adhesive may be a film or a paste. In some embodiments, the adhesive includes a non-metallic filler. The polymeric adhesive is stable at an operating temperature of the part to which it is attached. In one embodiment, the adhesive is polyimide, which is well-suited for use in a high pressure compressor of the gas turbine engine that operates at high temperatures. In other embodiments, the adhesive is bismaleimide (BMI) or cyanate ester.
