In order to extend the life cycle of modern single-crystal (SX) high-pressure high-temperature gas turbine blades, repair of cracked or worn parts is of great interest. The success of the repair technique depends critically on a close process control in order to ensure SX repair. Based on solidification theory a process called epitaxial laser metal forming (E-LMF) has been developed. This paper presents the important concepts necessary for any process control for SX repair based on processing maps which relate the expected solidification microstructures and growth morphologies to the processing conditions. These maps are obtained in two steps. Firstly, the relationships between local solidification conditions and the resulting solidification microstructures, i.e. columnar or equiaxed, art: formulated. Secondly, the local solidifiuation conditions as a function of the laser processing parameters are calculated with an analytical hear flux model. By a combination of both approaches, processing-microstructures map are obtained which define processing windows for SX generation and repair by laser deposition. (C) 2001 Acta Materialia Inc.
