Abstract: The component of the turbomachine comprises a body of the component, a bond layer covering a base surface of the body, and a top layer covering the bond layer and made of abradable ceramic material. The base surface of the component has patterned protrusions and, through two covering steps used for forming the bond layer and the top layer, also the top surface of the component has patterned protrusions. The pattern protrusions of the base surface may be obtained in different ways, for example casting, milling, grinding, electric discharge machining or additive manufacturing. The patterned protrusions belong to an abradable seal of the turbomachine, and may be shaped and sized to maintain specified clearances and to reduce flow of a working fluid within turbomachinery equipment and/or it's components.

The pattern protrusions of the base surface may be obtained in different ways, for example casting, milling, grinding, electric discharge machining or additive manufacturing. The patterned protrusions belong to an abradable seal of the turbomachine, and may be shaped and sized at best.
