Patent number: 10508492Abstract: A coated component for use in a fluid energy device includes a coating system with multiple layers of coating material, including a soft material such as a polymer coated over a hard material such as a metal. The fluid energy device can be a fluid motor or fluid pump, and the coated component can be a rotor or a stator. The hard and soft materials may be interlocked with each other and/or with an interposed porous layer. The presence of the soft material can reduce or eliminate the need for meticulous polishing operations typically required with as-applied hard materials while improving the longevity of mating fluid energy device components. The mating components are exposed only to the soft material in the initial stages of operation, after which the soft material wears away to gradually expose the mating components to the hard material in a less abrasive manner.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2013Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: BARSON COMPOSITES CORPORATIONInventor: Dana Emerson Barnard

Patent number: 9718255Abstract: A metal article such as a gas turbine component may include a super-diffusion coating with unusually high content of the desired constituent. The coating may be provided by combining two or more diffusion coating processes, each process interdiffusing the desired constituent with the metal article from a different metal source. The metal article can be placed in physical contact with a metal source in powder form as a first source, and the article can also be exposed an additional metal vapor source. Super-chromide coatings can be produced with alpha-chrome content in a manner that also provides the coating with sufficient ductility for long-term durability. For example, a shank portion of a gas turbine blade may be provided with a chromide coating with at least a portion of the coating having from 60-90% chromium content.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2012Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Barson Composites CorporationInventor: Charles Clifford Berger

Patent number: 9694964Abstract: A transport system for temperature sensitive materials includes a contents container and one or more thermal batteries in a stacked relationship in a thin-walled, flexible transport sleeve. The sleeve facilitates insertion and removal of the contents with respect to a thermally insulated container. The sleeve can be closed with a tamper-evident closure and may also be transparent to allow an observer to view indicia on the contents container indicating the temperature-sensitive nature of the contents.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Barson Composites CorporationInventor: Bruce McCormick

Patent number: 9297089Abstract: A gas turbine component for use in a gas turbine engine includes a substrate and a non-aluminide protective coating with a platinum-group metal. The platinum-group metal resides in a gamma-prime phase of the underlying material. The platinum-group metal can impart the protective coating with superior corrosion-resistance, while the absence of aluminide in the protective coating facilitates use of the protective coating at high-stress and/or high-fatigue portions of the component. The protective coating optionally includes chromide and can also be combined with aluminide at select portions of the component.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2012Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Barson Composites CorporationInventors: Charles Clifford Berger, David John Wortman
