Abstract
A consumable insert () formed of material particles () contained within a sheath (). The particles may be a melting point depressant that has a concentration that is greater in a center region () of the insert than in the surface region () of the insert, thereby facilitating complete melting of the insert during a transient liquid phase bonding process. Alternatively, the particles may be a low-ductility material, such as a superalloy or an MCrAlY alloy, contained within a high ductility sheath material formed into a ribbon shape, thereby allowing the low-ductility material to be delivered in ribbon form during a coating process.
