Used to deal with Pratt& Whitney Aircraft maker of GTE (gas turbine engines). They used to repair turbine blades and turbine vanes(both were very expensive new) in jet engines, using a plasma spray(metal spray) repair method. They re-built up the trailing edge of the above mentioned parts. These were FAA approved repair methods and these parts were subjected to some real heat and stress when they were re-installed into the jet engine.
