Abstract

A novel approach for down-selection of a repaired support structure design produced using Laser Blown Powder – Direct Energy Deposition (LBP-DED) and filled with interstitial Ni-Al powder (∼0.75 area fraction) in a turbine segment was investigated. Simulation of flattening and un-flattening of the s...
