Abstract:
An undersize repair region of a gas turbine engine stationary shroud is repaired with a sufficient mass of a repair material. The repair region includes a protruding portion that is undersized, and the repair includes machining of the protruding portion, grooving the resulting rub surface, inserting a replacement element, applying a brazing repair material, and brazing the article to form a repaired article. The repair material preferably includes a first fraction of a first powder of a first alloy component, and a second fraction of a second powder of a second alloy component. The first alloy component and the second alloy component have different solidus temperatures. The repair material is placed in the repair region. The repair material and the repair region are heated to melt the repair material but not the repair region, and thereafter the repair material and the repair region are cooled to solidify the repair material.
