<p>A spare part for, and a method of, repairing a high velocity fluid flow machine part, for example a turbine blade (10) comprises an insert (20) which may be made from a piece of material the same as the turbine blade (10) and prior to attachment to the blade has an edge region (21) hardened by any suitable means, for example induction hardening, or with a first part made from a durable material and a second part of a material compatible with the blade material, the insert (20) then being secured to the blade (10) by welding or brazing, the weld or braze material being of a relatively soft nature to provide a cushion between the insert and the blade so as to minimise the occurrence of stress corrosion cracking.</p> |
