The method includes machining away a damaged leading edge and providing a repaired region through successive depositions of superalloy powder filler through laser fusion welding. Deposition material is added until the repaired region exceeds the original dimensions of the airfoil. The airfoil is then machined and finished to return it to original airfoil dimensions.

A subsea pump drive employs a permanent magnet (PM) motor to drive a subsea pump. The PM motor rotor in one embodiment is canned with a non-magnetic material such as inconel that can provide a desired level of corrosion protection. The PM motor provides a subsea pump drive that is smaller and more efficient, having a high power factor than a subsea pump drive utilizing a conventional induction motor. The PM motor subsea pump drive eliminates the necessity for a topside storage tank and associated fluid transfer lines when the motor rotor is cooled with processed fluid.
