Abstract: A masking material and a method for applying the masking material to preselected surfaces of a component to protect the surfaces to which the masking material is applied from exposure to a vapor phase of aluminum gas while a protective environmental coating is applied to other surfaces of the component. The component, such as found in the hot section of a gas turbine engine, typically has intricate internal passageways. A ceramic material is applied as a mask over preselected surfaces while leaving remaining surfaces of a component exposed. The component typically is a superalloy component, and the exposed surfaces are to be coated with an environmental protective coating. The surfaces are preselected on the basis of whether coating is desired on the surface. The ceramic material forms a continuous, crack-free mask on these preselected surfaces without obstructing the internal passageways. The ceramic material which forms a mask is stable at the elevated temperatures of environmental coating application. The ceramic mask material must be continuous and substantially crack-free to prevent the penetration of the aggressive gas phase of the environmental coating material onto the surface of the component where it would otherwise undesirably be deposited. The ceramic material does not react with either the surface of the superalloy component or the gaseous vapors of the coating composition. At the conclusion of the coating operation, the ceramic coating applied as a mask can be easily and completely removed from the surface of the substrate by simple mechanical means, which surface is free of any coating from the coating operation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system and a method for the production of hydrogen. The system advantageously combines an independent high temperature heat source with a solid oxide electrolyzer cell and a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is used to extract heat from the molecular components such as hydrogen derived from the electrolysis. A portion of the hydrogen generated in the solid oxide electrolyzer cell is recombined with steam and recycled to the solid oxide electrolyzer cell. The oxygen generated on the anode side is swept with compressed air and used to drive a gas turbine that is in operative communication with a generator. Electricity generated by the generator is used to drive the electrolysis in the solid oxide electrolyzer cell.

Abstract: A process capable of depositing a diffusion coating of uniform thickness on localized surface regions of a component. The process makes use of an adhesive mixture containing a binding agent that is consumed as part of the deposition process so as not to negatively affect the quality and uniformity of the resulting coating. The process entails mixing a particulate donor material containing a coating element, a dissolved activator, and a particulate filler to form an adhesive mixture having a formable, malleable consistency. The adhesive mixture is applied to a surface of the component, and the component is heated to a temperature sufficient to vaporize and react the activator with the coating element of the donor material, thereby forming a reactive vapor of the coating element. The reactive vapor reacts at the surface of the component to form a diffusion coating containing the coating element.
