Abstract:
According to one aspect of the invention, a method for in situ repair of a turbine part is provided. The method includes the steps of accessing the turbine part while assembled to other turbine components, wherein the turbine part includes a region with a structural flaw near a hole in the turbine part, and wherein the hole is configured to flow a cooling fluid. The method also includes welding the structural flaw without performing a heat treatment of the turbine part, wherein welding the structural flaw includes laser welding that maintains a structure of the region.
