Abstract
A method of servicing an airfoil for use in a gas turbine engine. The airfoil assembly is defined by a base material and includes an airfoil and a platform from which the airfoil extends. A predetermined amount of the base material is removed from the airfoil assembly proximate to a fillet area of the airfoil assembly via water jet material removal. The fillet area comprises a junction between the airfoil and the platform and is located at an intersection between the airfoil and the platform. A remainder of the base material comprising base material of the airfoil assembly other than proximate to the fillet area is left intact.
