Systems and methods of blade tip repair and manufacturing using field assisted sintering

A method of repairing, or manufacturing, a tip for an airfoil can comprise: removing a portion of the airfoil that reduces a radial height of the airfoil and defines a first mating surface of the airfoil; forming a blade tip body for the airfoil, the blade tip body defining a second mating surface;...

Zusammenfassung:A method of repairing, or manufacturing, a tip for an airfoil can comprise: removing a portion of the airfoil that reduces a radial height of the airfoil and defines a first mating surface of the airfoil; forming a blade tip body for the airfoil, the blade tip body defining a second mating surface; and joining the first mating surface to the second mating surface via a Field Assisted Sintering Technology ("FAST") process.
