Advances in development of welding, brazing and coating technologies for repair of components of the hot section of gas turbine engines are noted. Causes limiting the wide-scale application of new technologies are considered. Prospects for arrangement of repair operations to recondition the blades of gas-pumping units in the gas industry of the CIS countries are substantiated.
Keywords: brazing, welding, coating deposition, turbine blades, casting alloys, casting and service defects, recondition¬ing repair, advanced technologies, cost effectiveness, prospects for application
