SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF HYBRID BLADE TIP REPAIR

A method of repairing a tip (214) for an airfoil (206) is disclosed herein. In various embodiments, the method comprises: removing a portion of the airfoil (206) that reduces a radial height of the airfoil (206) and at least partially removes a defect (302) of the airfoil (206); removing a remainder...

Zusammenfassung:A method of repairing a tip (214) for an airfoil (206) is disclosed herein. In various embodiments, the method comprises: removing a portion of the airfoil (206) that reduces a radial height of the airfoil (206) and at least partially removes a defect (302) of the airfoil (206); removing a remainder (602) of the defect (302); joining, via gas tungsten arc welding, a filler material (606) to the airfoil (206) to repair the defect (302); and joining a first mating surface (700) of the airfoil (206) to a second mating surface (800) of a blade tip body (608) via a solid-state joining process.
