在某些应用中，复合工具是必需的，或优于其他传统工具材料。复合刀具表面不太耐用，损坏时必须修复。在过去，由于工装人员不熟悉标准的生产复合修复方法，可能没有尝试过填充和公平以外的修复。本文介绍了一个利用标准生产修复方法进行复合材料刀具表面修复的案例研究。介绍了填充和抛光技术、嵌条修复技术以及工具表面重铺工艺。这些方法有望降低寿命周期维护成本，并可能节省和延长复合工具的寿命。

IN CERTAIN APPLICATIONS, COMPOSITE TOOLS ARE REQUIRED OR PREFERRED OVER OTHER CONVENTIONAL TOOLING MATERIALS. COMPOSITE TOOL SURFACES ARE LESS DURABLE AND WHEN DAMAGED MUST BE REPAIRED. IN THE PAST, REPAIRS OTHER THAN FILL AND FAIR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED DUE TO UNFAMILIARITY OF TOOLING PERSONNEL WITH STANDARD PRODUCTION COMPOSITE REPAIR METHODS. THIS PAPER PRESENTS A CASE STUDY IN COMPOSITE TOOL SURFACE REPAIR UTILIZING STANDARD PRODUCTION REPAIR METHODS. FILL AND FAIR TECHNIQUES, SCARF REPAIR TECHNIQUES, AND A PROCESS FOR TOOL RESURFACING ARE PRESENTED. THESE METHODS ARE EXPECTED TO REDUCE LIFE CYCLE MAINTENANCE COSTS AND POTENTIALLY SAVE AND EXTEND THE LIFE OF COMPOSITE TOOLS.
