“…and Spellman, D.L. [13][14][15][16] included the removal of blades from the rotor, removal of protective pads, mechanical removal of the damaged edge section, multilayer surfacing of the restored edge section, furnace heat treatment, mechanical treatment of the blade and welding-on of stellite protective plates. A significant disadvantage of this method is the lack of heat treatment after welding of the protective pads, as a result of which the blade material retains the high heterogeneity of the structural-phase composition and a high level of tensile residual stresses.…”
