Abstract: A method for applying a seal strip to a surface of a turbine component by accelerating solid particles to a velocity sufficient to cause the solid particles to plastically deform and bond to the surface and each other when impacted on the surface, and impacting the solid particles on the surface so as to cause the solid particles to deform and bond to the surface and each other to form the seal strip on the surface.

Abstract: Methods and systems of applying a liquid precursor for a calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate (CMAS) resistant coating to a turbine engine component are provided. In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a turbine engine includes spraying a liquid compound, wherein the liquid component is stored with a carrier gas, applying the compound to a component of a turbine engine, such that the compound is disposed on a thermal barrier coating of the component, and forming an oxide layer on the thermal barrier coating of the component. In another embodiment, a system includes a turbine engine component and a sprayer containing a compound and a carrier gas, wherein the sprayer is configured to apply the compound to a thermal barrier coating of the component such that the compound forms an oxide on the thermal barrier coating.
