Abstract: An embodiment of an apparatus includes a first crucible in communication with a deposition chamber, an energy source, and a workpiece fixture. The first crucible includes a plurality of walls defining an upper recess and a first lower recess, at least the upper recess open to an interior of the deposition chamber. The energy source is configured to selectively apply and direct energy within the deposition chamber, including toward the first crucible. The workpiece fixture includes tooling and a plurality of workpiece holders configured to retain at least one workpiece selectively within the deposition chamber. The tooling includes at least one wall separating at least a first of the plurality of workpiece holders from a second of the plurality of workpiece holders.

Abstract: An apparatus deposits a coating on a part. The apparatus comprises a chamber and a sting assembly for carrying the part. The sting assembly is shiftable between: an inserted condition where the sting assembly holds the part within the chamber for coating; and a retracted condition where the sting assembly holds the part outside of the chamber. The apparatus comprises a source of the coating material positioned to communicate the coating material to the part in the inserted condition. The apparatus comprises a thermal hood comprising a first member and a second member. The second member is between the first member and the part when the part is in the inserted condition. The second member is carried by the sting assembly so as to retract with the sting assembly as the sting assembly is retracted from the inserted condition to the retracted condition.

Abstract: An electron beam vapor deposition process for depositing coatings includes placing a source coating material in a crucible of a vapor deposition apparatus; energizing the source coating with an electron beam raster pattern that delivers a controlled power density to the material in the crucible forming a vapor cloud from the source coating material; and depositing the source coating material onto a surface of a work piece.
