Abstract:
A plasma spray system including a turntable subsystem operable to position a multiple of work pieces on a respective multiple of workpiece mounts; a plasma spray subsystem operable to plasma spray the multiple of work pieces on said turntable subsystem; and an overspray wash subsystem operable to wash the multiple of work pieces on said turntable subsystem subsequent to plasma spray of the multiple of work pieces.
Abstract:
A thermal barrier coating for a turbine engine component contains neodymia, optionally alumina, and zirconia. The thermal barrier coating has resistance to CMAS attack and a low thermal conductivity.

Abstract:
A ceramic coating process comprises introducing a suspension including a fine ceramic particulate suspended in a liquid carrier into a plasma torch. The method includes melting the fine ceramic particulate in the plasma torch; propelling the fine ceramic particulate toward a substrate; and forming a coating on the substrate, the coating comprises splats of the fine ceramic particulate.
Abstract:
A process for coating a component including applying a thermal barrier coating material to a bond coat and selectively infiltrating a blocking material into the thermal barrier coating material.
