Repair coating for superalloy articles, such as gas turbine engine components

摘要

A repair coating for superalloy articles, such as gas turbine engine components, includes a volatile organic carrier or water-based carrier, a fluxing agent, a thickening agent, balance a filler mix. The filler mix consists of at least two distinct particulate components. The mix includes a first particulate component having a composition which approximates that of the article being repaired. The mix also includes a second particulate component having a composition approximating that of the article and a melting point depressant, such as boron. This melting point depressant is substantially in excess of that in the article and sufficient to provide melting of a portion of the mix at a processing temperature below the melting temperature of the article. The above filler mix is blended with the other constituents to form the repair coating which is applied to an article.
