A method and apparatus for restoring airseals on gas turbine blades and vanes. A worn or damaged airseal is removed by abrasive belt grinding perpendicular to its length to create a stub. Then a piece of material is joined to the stub, as by welding. Next the airseal weldment is contoured using abrasive belting, perpendicular to the weldment length. The invention is particularly advantageous for the repair of components having two airseals of different dimensions. A single two-position fixture is usable to remove old airseals and to refinish airseal weldments. Refinishing is accomplished with a contoured belt; the contour is chosen to be intermediate, but within the tolerance of, the contours of the first and second airseals. As a result, airseals are economically restored in short runs. |
