Abstract: A repair method for repairing a component (6a) of a gas turbine engine (10). The method comprises first and second steps. The first step comprises directing an energy beam toward the component (6a) to ablate a first region (54) of material to form a gap extending through the component (6a) between a repair region (58) a base region (58) of the component, wherein subsequent to the first step the repair region (58) and base region (56) are joined by a connecting portion (60). In the second step, an energy beam is direct toward the component (6a) to ablate the repair region (58) to remove the repair region (58) from the component (6a).

Abstract: A method of forming a protective coating includes providing a substrate including a major surface. The method further includes providing a top coat layer adjacent to the major surface of the substrate. The top coat layer includes a top coat surface distal to the substrate. The method further includes forming a plurality of slots in the top coat layer. The method further includes at least partially heating the top coat surface above a threshold temperature, such that a first portion of the top coat layer extending from the top coat surface partially melts to form a glazed layer, and a second portion of the top coat layer disposed between the glazed layer and the major surface of the substrate is not melted and includes at least a portion of each of the plurality of slots.
