ODK-Service has announced its readiness to apply advanced technologies in its work. They intend to restore parts from new generation materials and use robotic equipment for repairs.
In particular, it concerns the repair of turbine blades made of new single-crystal alloys, parts made of composite materials, as well as the restoration of all types of seals, including modern metal and porous ceramics.
The new PD-14 and PD-8 gas turbine engines are created using the latest technologies and materials. We use this experience to develop technologies for repairing serial engines. Our task is to extend the life cycle of gas turbine engines that are currently mass-produced by UEC. This requires new repair technologies, new solutions in this direction, and this is a huge range of scientific and technical tasks. These innovations will reduce repair costs for the customer, increase UEC's profits, and free up enterprises for the production of new engines.
In addition, it is planned to develop a unified methodology and rules for carrying out repair work, including the use of robotic equipment.
Currently, ODK-Service is a center of specialization in engine repair technologies for civil aviation and gas transportation, which are manufactured by UEC enterprises. For the repair of gas turbine engines, they use technologies for removing and restoring all types of coatings, restore perforation holes, and repair parts using additive technologies of gas-powder surfacing and wire surfacing.
