Proper joining techniques and procedures are important factors that can influence component design life expectancy. Many components are welded and brazed before being installed, and service-related problems often require repair procedures. This proceedings addresses many aspects of joining and the repair of gas-turbine components. Included is practical information on handling different families of alloys, various welding procedures, brazing procedures, process modeling, defect mechanisms and their elimination, and the effects of chemical composition and microstructure on weldability and repairability.

Topic areas include:
• Weldability of Austenitic Materials I and II
• Welding metallurgy of nickel alloys
• Weldability of nickel-base alloys
• Welding dissimilar alloys
• Repairability of Alloy 718
• Oxidation of ODS
• Brazed joints
• Brazing of Gas-Turbine Components
• Characteristics of diffusion-brazed CMSX-4 single crystal
• Pre-braze cleaning
• Brazing tape
• Advanced brazing repairs
• Brazing-furnace design
• Electron-Beam Welding, Laser Welding, and Titanium and Titanium Aluminides
• EB welding of aero-engine components
• Laser welding applications
• Welding effects on titanium and titanium aluminides
