Optimize Gas Turbine Parts with LPM® for Extended Lifespan and Performance

Tired of frequent gas turbine part replacements? Liburdi's exclusive LPM® technology offers a game-changing solution for gas turbine repair. It surpasses traditional welding and diffusion brazing, delivering superior strength for nickel and cobalt superalloy repairs. LPM® eliminates heat-affected zone cracking and distortion from welding, and unlike brazing, it allows structural repairs of cracks up to 0.500". Approved for Aircraft, Aeroderivative, and Heavy Duty Frame components, LPM® ensures reliable performance and long-term cost savings.

Elevating Vane Repair with Liburdi Powder Metallurgy Technology

LPM® vane repair surpasses traditional welding, enhancing structural integrity without the usual distortions. MarM247 repair alloy excels in cobalt alloy nozzles and vanes, reinforcing and strengthening them. It revitalizes airfoil trailing edges and vane throat areas for improved power and efficiency. LPM® also restores lost dimensions due to wear, oxidation, or erosion, including precision re-machining abutment seal slots to original specs, a key aspect of its vane repair prowess

45 Years Service Experience and Evolution

LPM® is FAA-approved for aircraft and backed by leading OEMs for industrial use. Since 1990, it has expanded its alloy range, strength, and ease of application. LPM now revitalizes once-unrepairable flight engine parts, surpassing traditional methods in tests by three OEMs, matching new component lifespan. This offers you significant cost savings, reliability, and extended part life.

FAQ

What are the advantages over wide gap braze repair?

Grinding is a reliable alternative to chemical cleaning for removing damaged material and penetrating oxides in cracks before brazing, ensuring complete removal. Large volumes of LPM™ material can be applied in a single application, achieving build-ups of up to 0.250" (6.4mm). Fine, shallow crack openings can be repaired with brazing, relying on capillary action for full depth penetration. LPM™ tapes provide controlled thickness build-ups for restoring eroded airfoils and trailing edges without the need for coupons or inserts. LPM™ can withstand multiple high-temperature heat treatments or repair cycles, and its very low boron content results in excellent hot corrosion resistance and compatibility with conventional coating systems.

What are the advantages over weld repair?

LPM™ is an advanced repair solution for nickel and cobalt alloy components that provides strength approaching or exceeding that of the original component. Matching LPM™ alloys are used to repair nickel alloy components, surpassing the strength of conventional IN625 weld filler. Cobalt alloy components can be repaired with matching LPM™ alloy, or alternatively with nickel-based LPM™ alloy, exceeding the strength of the original component. LPM™ is capable of repairing crack-sensitive superalloys without the heat-affected zone cracks often experienced with welding. Additionally, LPM™ can repair structural areas of vane segments without the localized distortion and strain cracks typically associated with welding, making it a superior choice for component repairs.
