Abstract
A nickel-chromium (Ni—Cr) alloy and a method for electrodepositing the Ni—Cr alloy on a turbine engine component for dimensionally restoring the engine component are described. The engine component is restored by re-building wall thickness with the Ni—Cr alloy including from 2 to 50 wt % chromium balanced with nickel. The turbine component coated with the Ni—Cr alloy is heat-treated at a high temperature to homogenize composition of the alloy to mimic the base alloy and to restore materials lost during repair of the turbine component.
