What happens when critical SGT-A35 (RB211) components are labelled “non-repairable”? At Liburdi Turbine Services, that’s when the real work begins.
This month, we’re highlighting a component case that showcases what’s possible with our patented LPM® process and why operators are turning to Liburdi to extend part life, reduce waste, and save six figures on component costs.
Using our Liburdi Powder Metallurgy (LPM®) process, Liburdi rebuilt the eroded airfoil geometry with high-strength alloy powder. The repair included:
SGT-A35 (RB211) NGV service Damage Observed.
LPM® isn’t just a repair; it’s a reconstruction method that outperforms conventional weld repairs. It’s fully authorized by OEMs and has been used for over 20 years on aircraft, industrial, and aeroderivative engine components.
From cracked and oxidized to service ready, LPM extends part life while saving six figures
Recoated NGV restored to service ready condition with extended life and OEM performance.
This was not a one-time success, but the product of proven processes, expert engineering, and Liburdi’s dedication to excellence in every repair.
Repairs like this don’t just cut costs, they keep parts in service longer, reduce waste, and support a sustainable circular economy. Every component saved means less reliance on raw materials and fewer parts sent to the landfill, helping operators meet both cost and ESG goals.
Extending component life supports the circular economy; keeping parts in service longer, reducing waste and minimizing reliance on new raw materials
For operators facing long lead times or limited part availability, it’s a reminder that “non-repairable” doesn’t always mean the end.
