Abstract
A repair method to provide a way to salvage mis-machined or damaged parts by repairing the parts using a combination of a fishbone braze foil and a spring-like locking insert. The method includes providing a braze foil variably sized to fit within at least a portion of a slot of a component being repaired, and positioning a locking insert proximate to the braze foil. The method also includes pressing the braze foil and the locking insert into at least the portion of the slot being repaired, such that the locking insert is securely coupled within the portion of the slot being repaired via a friction fit, and brazing the braze foil and the locking insert together in the slot. The method further includes re-machining a new slot in the component after brazing the locking insert and the braze foil.
