20130224453 | Spallation-Resistant Thermal Barrier Coating - In a method for coating a substrate, a ceramic first layer is suspension plasma sprayed and is at least about as tough as 7YSZ. A ceramic second layer is applied over the first layer and is less tough than the first layer. | 08-29-2013 |
20130260132 | HYBRID THERMAL BARRIER COATING - A tubine engine component has a substrate, a thermal barrier layer deposited onto the substrate, and a sealing layer of ceramic material deposited on an outer surface of the thermal barrier layer for limiting molten sand penetration. The thermal barrier layer and sealing layer are formed by suspension plasma spraying. A preferred sealing layer is gadolinium zirconate. | 10-03-2013 |
20140065408 | THERMAL BARRIER COATING FOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS - A component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure can include a substrate, a thermal barrier coating deposited on at least a portion of the substrate, and an outer layer deposited on at least a portion of the thermal barrier coating. The outer layer can include a material that is reactive with an environmental contaminant that comes into contact with the outer layer to alter a microstructure of the outer layer. | 03-06-2014 |
20140220324 | THERMAL BARRIER COATING HAVING OUTER LAYER - A component according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a substrate, a thermal barrier coating deposited on at least a portion of the substrate, and an outer layer deposited on at least a portion of the thermal barrier coating. The outer layer includes a material that absorbs energy in response to an impact event along at least a portion of the outer layer. | 08-07-2014 |
20150197840 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOVING OVERSPRAY - Systems and methods are disclosed for removing overspray from a substrate. A coating material may be plasma sprayed on a substrate utilizing Suspension Plasma Spray or Solution Precursor Plasma Spray. The plasma spray may deposit loosely adhered overspray on the substrate. A pressurized gas may be directed at the overspray to remove the overspray from the component. | 07-16-2015 |
20150252464 | EQUIPMENT FOR PLASMA SPRAY WITH LIQUID INJECTION - 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. | 09-10-2015 |
20150360252 | SUSPENSION PLASMA INJECTOR SYSTEM AND METHOD OF FLUSHING THE SYSTEM - A thermal sprayer system includes an injector conduit in communication with an injector and a first valve for selectively directing a coating fluid through the injector conduit. A flush fluid conduit is in communication with the injector conduit for directing a flush fluid through the injector conduit. A pressurized air conduit is in communication with the injector conduit for directing a pressurized fluid through the injector conduit. | 12-17-2015 |
20150361543 | Suspension Plasma Spray Apparatus and Use Methods - A suspension plasma spray feeder apparatus for delivering a suspension from a suspension source to a plasma spray gun. The feeder apparatus comprises a suspension line and a vibrator mounted to vibrate the suspension line. | 12-17-2015 |
20150361556 | Deposition Apparatus and Use Methods - A deposition apparatus comprises: an infeed chamber; a preheat chamber; a deposition chamber; and optionally at least one of a cooldown chamber and an outlet chamber. At least a first of the preheat chamber and the cooldown chamber contains a buffer system for buffering workpieces respectively passing to or from the deposition chamber. | 12-17-2015 |
