  • Publication number: 20110302781
    Abstract: Rub coatings, and methods for applying rub coatings, are provided for compressor assemblies of gas turbine engine assemblies. The coating may be applied as an initial coating to a new surface of a component, as well as a repair and replacement corrosion resistant rub coating for applying to a previously coated component of a gas turbine engine assembly such as a compressor casing. The method includes the steps of providing a component of a gas turbine engine assembly, the component having predetermined dimensions and specifications for operational use in an engine assembly. The component has a surface having a damaged rub coating thereon, the damaged rub coating not in compliance with the predetermined dimensions and specifications. The method includes removing the non-compliant damaged rub coating to expose the surface. Next, a repair corrosion resistant rub coating comprising MCrAlX is applied to the surface.
