Patent attributes
The invention relates to a method for repairing components that consist of superalloys, in particular for repairing components that consist of a superalloy with an aligned microstructure in such a way that the repaired site likewise has an aligned microstructure. The method comprises the following steps: a solder material is applied to the repair site; the repair site with the applied solder material is heated until the latter melts; and the melted solder material is left to solidify. The solder material is an alloy with the same alloy components as the component alloy. At least the fraction of one alloy component in the solder material composition is modified in relation to the fraction of that alloy component in the component alloy composition, in such a way that the melting temperature of the solder material is reduced in relation to the melting temperature of the component alloy.
