Blade repair process

TTL blade repair process involves machining off the excess weld from repaired compressor and turbine blades. When introduced in June 1999, the system could machine off excess weld to a degree that it would leave a step of no more than 0.002 in for hand finishing. Subsequent development has resulted in a dramatic improvement in accuracy and surface finish. The system requires no CAD model, allowing for fast cycle times.
