| Overview
Flight Support continues to spearhead new approaches
to both the repair and salvage of aircraft engine components. Most
unique is the invention of “Recast” a process to restore
dimensions to airfoils and adjacent configurations without welding.
The process includes the use of known technologies that have existed
separately in the industry for over 30 years. It combines them to
make a product which is better than the results of either one.
Laser welding is the newly utilized technology as part of a 5 axis
CNC with a vision system. The product of this type of welding on
superalloys is superb. It has low heat effected zones and minimal
cracks as compared to hand T.I.G. welding.
