Zusammenfassung:An article treatment method is disclosed including removing an affected area (200) from an article (100), the article (100) including the affected area (200) and a substrate (102) composed of a substrate material (104), forming an unaffected surface (300). A structural material (302) is applied to the unaffected surface (300) by cold spraying a plurality of particles of the structural material (302) from a cold spray apparatus (304). The structural material (302) and the article (100) are finished, forming a treated article (500) including an unused article conformation. A turbine component treatment method is disclosed for a turbine component (106) including a hard-to-weld (htw) alloy, wherein applying the structural material (302) includes impacting the plurality of particles, and plastically deforming the plurality of particles to form a mechanical bond between the structural material (302) and the htw alloy. An airfoil treatment method is disclosed further including the cold spraying forming a near net shape (402) of an unused airfoil composition.
