Abstract

See full text

A first slurry can be applied over a surface of an existing pipe to form a first layer. The first slurry can comprise a powder, a binder, and a solvent. The powder can comprise a metal. At least some of the powder in the first layer can be sintered to form a new pipe portion by subjecting a portion of the first layer to a first temperature for a first time period. The first temperature can be greater than a melting temperature of the metal. The sintered first layer forming the new pipe portion can be effective to repair or recondition the existing pipe. In some embodiments, the sintered first layer can form at least part of a separate pipe within and/or contacting the existing pipe.
