Zusammenfassung: | Methods of forming a blade and rendering a blade resistant to erosion includes positioning a backing plate(s) or elongated backing plate(s) adjacent at least one side of a forward face of a leading edge surface of the blade. The methods include depositing an erosion resistant material in a plurality of layers by fusion bonding the erosion resistant material to the forward face of the leading edge surface of the blade. The backing plates providing a template or guide for depositing the plurality of layers of erosion resistant material. The plurality of layers of erosion resistant material form an erosion shield and a leading edge of the blade. Methods include removing the backing plate. |
