SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF BLADE LEADING EDGE REPAIR USING FIELD ASSISTED SINTERING TECHNOLOGY

A method can comprise forming a component (610) comprising a first mating surface (602); coupling the component (610) to an airfoil (202) having a second mating surface (612) and a Field Assisted Sintering Technology ("FAST") system; heating, via the FAST system, the airfoil (202) and the...

Zusammenfassung:A method can comprise forming a component (610) comprising a first mating surface (602); coupling the component (610) to an airfoil (202) having a second mating surface (612) and a Field Assisted Sintering Technology ("FAST") system; heating, via the FAST system, the airfoil (202) and the component (610) ; and applying, via the FAST system, a mechanical pressure between the first mating surface (602) and the second mating surface (612) to join the airfoil (202) to the component (610) and form a blade (650), the component (610) at least partially defining a leading edge (204) of the blade (650) in response to joining the airfoil (202) to the component (610).
