Abstract
A metal coupon for repairing a component includes an additively manufactured (AM) metal member having a low porosity region in an interior of the AM metal member, and a porous region around the low porosity region. The low porosity region may have a porosity in a range of 0% to 5%, so is solid or nearly solid. The porous metal coupon with low porosity region allows braze material to be directed based on characteristics of the porous region.
