Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for repairing, refurbishing, or replacing a turbine engine component or sub-component includes the steps of providing a turbine engine component or sub-component having a site to be repaired, refurbished, or replaced providing a repair or replacement material having a sulfur content, which sulfur content is less than 10 ppm, and applying the repair or replacement material to the site on the turbine engine component to effect the repair, the refurbishment, or the replacement.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 17 . (canceled) 18 . A method for repairing or refurbishing a turbine engine component comprising the steps of: providing a turbine engine component having a site to be repaired; providing a repair/refurbishment material having a sulfur content, which sulfur content is less than 10 ppm; and applying the repair/refurbishment material to the site on the turbine engine component to the site on the turbine engine component to effect said repair/refurbishment. 19 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step of providing said repair/refurbishment material comprises providing a nickel based repair material having said sulfur content. 20 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step of providing said repair/refurbishment material comprises providing a cobalt based repair material having said sulfur content. 21 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step of providing said repair/refurbishment material comprises providing a repair/refurbishment material having said sulfur content below 7.0 ppm. 22 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step of providing said repair/refurbishment material comprises providing a repair/refurbishment material having said sulfur content below 1.0 ppm. 23 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step of providing said repair/refurbishment material comprises providing a repair/refurbishment material having said sulfur content in the range of from 0.5 ppm to 1.0 ppm. 24 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step of providing said repair/refurbishment material comprises providing a repair/refurbishment material having said sulfur content in the range of from 0.001 ppm to less than 10 ppm. 25 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said applying step comprises applying said repair/refurbishment material using a technique selected from the group consisting of a welding technique, a brazing technique, a plasma powder deposition technique, a laser cladding technique, and a gas metal arc deposition technique. 26 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising subjecting said turbine engine component with said applied repair/refurbishment material to a heat treatment.
