A method for restoring a removed portion (58) of the airfoil wall (12) of a turbine component (10). This method comprises the following steps: (a) providing a turbine component (10) comprising an airfoil (12) having a metal substrate (30) with a wall thickness (66), wherein a portion of the wall thickness has been removed (58) so as to provide a residual wall thickness (72); (b) providing a metal composition (80) that at least substantially matches that of the residual wall thickness (72); and (c) applying the metal composition (80) to the residual wall thickness (72) such that the metal composition (80): (1) is adhered to the residual wall thickness; and (2) at least substantially restores the removed wall thickness (58). Also provided is a method for restoring a removed portion of the airfoil wall (58) of a previously repaired turbine component (10). |
