  • Publication number: 20130115085
    Abstract: A process for depositing a ceramic layer on a metal substrate for producing a thermal barrier, the process including depositing the ceramic in a columnar structure. The deposition is carried out through a grid pierced with holes, which is positioned parallel to a surface of the substrate so as to produce ceramic columns separated from one another by a space. The process can further include a subsequent depositing of an isotropic ceramic layer in the spaces.

  • Patent number: 7008522
    Abstract: A method of locally repairing parts coated with a thermal barrier including a ceramic outer layer and a metal underlayer of alumina-forming alloy for protecting the substrate against oxidation and for bonding with the ceramic outer layer, includes: defining the zone for repair with a mechanical mask adapted to the shape of the part and the zone for repair; scouring the zone for repair so as to remove the ceramic, the alumina layer, and the damaged portions of the underlayer; supplying materials for repairing the underlayer to the repair zone by subjecting the partially-scoured part to metal deposition by use of an electrical current; and subjecting the part to a heat treatment in order to enable the added metals to diffuse into the remaining underlayer in the repair zone for repair and to enable a surface film of alumina to form. After the underlayer has been reconstituted, the zone for repair is again defined by a mechanical mask and a new ceramic layer is deposited thereon.

  • Publication number: 20040247789
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of overall repair for a part (1) coated in a thermal barrier constituted by a ceramic outer layer (5) and a metal underlayer (3) of alumina-forming alloy, the method being characterized by the following steps: a) subjecting the metal part (1) for repair to thermochemical treatment under fluorine-containing halogen gas for a length of time that is sufficient to eliminate the aluminum contained in the underlayer (3) and any oxides and sulfur compounds that might be present at the surface of the part (1) and in cracks (6), thereby causing the ceramic layer (5) to be removed and causing the part (1) to be passivated; b) restoring mechanical integrity to the part (1) by methods of repairing any cracks (6) by adding material; c) enriching the surface of the part in aluminum, if necessary; and d) depositing a new layer (5) of ceramic. The invention is particularly applicable to the blades of the high pressure turbine of a turbomachine.

  • Patent number: 6432478
    Abstract: A ceramic heat barrier coating is deposited on a substrate so that the coating has a columnar growth pattern which is interrupted and repeated a number of times throughout its thickness by successive regermination of the ceramic deposit. The regermination is obtained by a vapor phase deposition process wherein a polluting gas is introduced intermittently during the deposition of the ceramic. The resulting ceramic coating has a lower thermal conductivity than conventional columnar ceramic coatings.
