ABSTRACT:
A method for repairing turbine vanes and the like which have become worn or cracked after extended periods of use. The method embraces the steps of applying molten metal containing a predetermined quantity of silicon to the cracks, and overall to the worn or eroded areas of the vane to build up the same beyond its original surface, sintering the vane in a furnace at a temperature of over 2,000.degree. F thereby burning off some of the silicon, allowing the vane to cool, and thereafter placing it in a high pressure furnace and subjecting it simultaneously to heating to a temperature in excess of 2,000.degree. F and a pressure in excess of 15,000 PSI to drive the build-up material into all of the cracks of the vane and simultaneously effect a densification of the material as well as improving the bond to the original eroded surfaces. Thereafter the vane is removed and allowed to cool, and the built-up surface of the vane is ground down so as to restore the dimensions of the piece substantially to those of a new part.
