Abstract: A system comprises a holder including a mounting feature configured to mount to a flange of a fuel injector and a block including a mounting feature configured to mount to a side of the flange that is opposite from the holder. The system includes, punch configured to pass through at least one punch aperture in the block. The punch aperture is configured to guide a tip of the punch into position to deform a c-seal seated in a seal channel of the flange. A method for using the system using the system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of cooling a component during laser cladding can include attaching a flow adapter to the component, flowing cooling fluid through the flow adapter, flowing the cooling fluid through the component during laser cladding. Attaching a flow adapter to the component can fluidly communicate at least one adapter channel to one or more component channels, and flowing cooling fluid through the at least one adapter channel can pass cooling fluid through the one or more component channels to cool the component during laser cladding. The method can include laser cladding the component.

Abstract: A system comprising an additive manufacturing machine configured to fuse stock powder, a supply vessel connected to the additive manufacturing machine for supplying the stock powder to the additive manufacturing machine, and a weight sensor system connected to the supply vessel. A controller operatively is connected to the weight sensor system configured to receive signals indicative of a weight of the stock powder in the supply vessel. The controller is configured to determine weight of the stock powder based on the signals.
