Abstract
The inventive method involves the inspection of a turbine engine. A damaged component of the turbine engine is identified. Portions of the turbine engine component are removed from the damaged area to accommodate an overlay. The overlay is sized smaller than the turbine engine component. The overlay is then placed in a location previously occupied by the removed portion and attached to the turbine engine component.
