Abstract
Paper presents the results of works on restoration of a damaged area of blade of gas turbine engine fan by means of welding-up of a fragment by electron-beam welding method. An endurance limit  (σ_-1) was determined for fan blades of  D-36 engine with 16-65·10³ N thrust  repaired by this technology. Metallographic examination of the blades with fragment welding-up after fatigue tests was carried out. Perspective directions on increase of the endurance limit of repair fan blades were proposed. 8 Ref., 2 Tabl., 9 Fig.
Keywords: electron beam welding, titanium alloy, fan blades, fragment welding-up, heat treatment, structure, endurance limit
