System and method of repairing a multi-layer component of an engine

A method of repairing a multi-layer component of an engine in-module, the method comprising:

• identifying a damage location on the multi-layer component having at least one defect, the at least one defect extending at least partially into a ceramic-based top layer of the multi-layer component, wherein the multi-layer component comprises one or more seal teeth of a seal of the engine;
• depositing a material composition at a first temperature range onto the damage location so as to cover the damage location, the material composition comprising one or more sintering additives and a nucleating agent;
• and
• applying localized curing via a heat source at a second temperature range to the material composition deposited at the damage location, the second temperature range being higher than the first temperature range, wherein the second temperature range comprises temperatures equal to or less than about 650 degrees Celsius (° C.), further wherein the heat source comprises a heater, a heat exchanger, or a heated light.
