It is a necessary to specify the dependencies of deposited metal shaping due to the need of 5-15 mm height increase of the dimensions of surfacing-repaired damaged areas of blade edges of aircraft GTE of high-temperature nickel alloys in microplasma bead surfacing on narrow substrate of less than 3 mm. A range of change of the process energy indices in «effective heat power of arc-heat input-cross-section area of deposited bead» system was investigated for conditions of corresponding single-layer surfacing, and effectiveness of process regulation of deposited layer cross-section was evaluated. It is determined that heat input change in 100-1600 J/mm range is the most effective regulation of cross-section area of the deposited bead under conditions of base metal limited penetration depth. It is assumed that the determined process relationship between heat input energy, height and cross-section area of the deposited bead will promote for formation of the additional criteria preventing crack formation in the «base-deposited metal» welded joint in repair of the parts of aircraft engines of high-temperature nickel alloys using multi-layer microplasma powder surfacing. 18 Ref., 4 Tables, 8 Figures.
