Methods for repairing and restoring water manifold pipes, particularly locomotive diesel motor water manifolds exhibiting excessive corrosion around at least one water port. Exemplary methods include inserting a pipe segment into a selected water port and using the inserted pipe segment as a build-up or brazing form. Braze material is applied in one layers around and against the inserted pipe segment. Excess braze material and the pipe segment are thereafter removed in order to restore the manifold pipe to an original dimension.

A method of repairing a nozzle segment is provided. The nozzle segment includes at least one airfoil extending between an inner band and an outer band, and the airfoil includes a first sidewall and an opposing second sidewall that are joined together at a leading edge and at an axially-spaced trailing edge. The method includes identifying a damaged portion of the airfoil, repairing the damaged portion of the airfoil by at least one of welding weld filler in the area of the damaged portion of the airfoil, and brazing preform in the area of the damaged portion of the airfoil, and blending at least one of the weld filler and the preform to remove excess material to facilitate finishing an outer surface of the airfoil.

Method includes applying additive material to a pre-selected region of a rotor for use in a Roots type blower assembly. The additive material restores structural dimension to provide measured rotor-to-rotor clearance and/or rotor-to-case clearance within the predetermined clearance range. The additive material may be an epoxy paint material or a plating material. The method includes measuring the clearances, preparing the rotor surface, applying the additive material, and re-measuring the clearance. The restored rotor may be returned to service, for example, in a locomotive diesel. The disclosure also provides a restored rotor including at least one region comprising the additive material. Additionally, the disclosure provides an apparatus including a dimensionally restored rotor.
