Abstract
A compressor case, and an associated method, repaired from damage to a segment of a stator ring hook. Two halves are engaged together at flange faces that define parting lines and that define a hollow interior, the ring hook being located at the interior, compressor case material having been removed at the stator ring hook location and a location of one of the flange faces to provide a space. A patch plug is slid into the space from the one flange face, the shape of the patch plug being complementary to a shape of the missing material space and inter-fitting therein, with an end of the patch plug being located at the one flange face to face an opposed half of the case with the two halves together. A fastener fastens the patch plug to the case and extending from the interior, through the patch plug, to the case.
