| 20080292903 | Coated gas turbine engine component repair - A method of repairing a component of a gas turbine engine that includes a metallic substrate, an existing coating, and a diffusion layer formed in the metallic substrate adjacent to the coating. The method includes removing at least a portion of the existing aluminide coating, removing material forming the diffusion layer, applying a new metallic layer to the metallic substrate, and applying a new aluminide coating over the new metallic layer to form a new diffusion layer in the new metallic layer. The new metallic layer is a substantially homogeneous material that is substantially similar in chemical composition to that of the metallic substrate, and the new metallic layer forms a structural layer having a thickness selected to provide a specified contour to the component. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20100068417 | ELECTRON BEAM VAPOR DEPOSITION APPARATUS AND METHOD - An electron beam vapor deposition apparatus includes a coating chamber having a first chamber section with a first coating zone for depositing a first coating and a second chamber section with a second coating zone for depositing a second coating. At least one electron beam source is associated with the first chamber section and the second chamber section. A first crucible is adjacent to the first coating zone for presenting a first source coating material, and a second crucible is adjacent to the second coating zone for presenting a second source coating material. A transport is operative to move a work piece between the first coating zone of the first chamber section and the second coating zone of the second chamber section. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100104766 | METHOD FOR USE WITH A COATING PROCESS - A method for use with a coating process includes depositing a ceramic coating on a substrate within a coating chamber. Prior to depositing the ceramic coating, an electron beam source is used to heat a ceramic material. The ceramic material radiates heat to heat a substrate to an oxidation temperature to form an oxide layer on the substrate. A desired evaporation rate of the ceramic material is established during the heating to thereby provide an improved ceramic coating. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100104773 | METHOD FOR USE IN A COATING PROCESS - A method for use in a coating process includes depositing a ceramic coating on a bond coat that is disposed on a substrate. Prior to depositing the ceramic coating, a desired surface roughness R | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100104859 | BOND COATING AND THERMAL BARRIER COMPOSITIONS, PROCESSES FOR APPLYING BOTH, AND THEIR COATED ARTICLES - A coated article includes an article having at least one surface and composed of a molybdenum based refractory metal alloy base substrate, a niobium based refractory metal alloy base substrate or a silicon base substrate. A bond coat layer is disposed upon the surface. The bond coat layer includes a molybdenum disilicide base compound and at least one of the following: silicon nitride, silicon carbide or tantalum oxide. A process for coating the article includes the steps of applying upon the article's surface the aforementioned bond coat layer.
