TLDR
In this paper, the same type of material is applied to the surface of the workpiece or to a welding joint thereof by arc welding produced by the welding electrode, which is particularly suitable for repairing age-hardened superalloys of engine blades.
Abstract
Apparatus for the deposition welding or the joint welding of a workpiece made of a superalloy by an arc welding process in which the workpiece is supported in a protective-gas container into which is placed a welding electrode and an induction coil for preheating the workpiece. Material of the same type of the workpiece is applied to the surface of the workpiece or to a welding joint thereof by arc welding produced by the welding electrode. The apparatus and associated method are particularly suitable for repairing age-hardened superalloys of engine blades.
