Prior to the gas turbine engine overhaul, the technical terms for overhaul is created, with the indication of all parts and assemblies micrometric measurements recorded, which is needed for further calculations of gaps, tolerances and etc.
Such a records (of actual measurements) are filled in into dedicated protocol forms and are compared to the requirements of factory manuals specifications.
In case of mismatching of any measured dimentions, the technologists and designers of the Bureau are proposing the correction activities for the defects found, such an activities based on OEM factory requirements, standards and manuals.
The surface preparation for thermal protection coating application is one of the important activities during entire gas turbine parts and assemblies refurbishing. The quality of coating material adhesion to the furface of blade / vane is depending of the result of proper blade / vane surface preparation.
