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 thermal barrier coating is applied to a turbine engine component having a substrate. The thermal barrier coating has a first layer which has a strain tolerant columnar microstructure at an interface with the substrate for spallation resistance and a second layer which is porous conduction and radiation thermally resistant at an outer surface of the thermal barrier coating.
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 coated component with a coating applied by Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) includes at least one Non Line of Sight (NLOS) area and at least one Line of Sight (LOS) area, a coating on the workpiece defines a ratio greater than about 10% NLOS/LOS.
Abstract:
A method of coating includes applying a metallic coating slurry without a filler to a component; draining the metallic coating slurry; drying the metallic coating slurry to drive off the organic binder; and heat treating the component.
Abstract:
A system for depositing coating on a workpiece includes a deposition chamber within which is formed a vortex to at least partially surround a workpiece therein.
