Publication number: 20060137179Abstract: A damaged gas turbine blade which has previously been in service, and which is made of a base metal, is furnished. Any damaged material is removed from the damaged blade tip. The damaged blade tip is weld repaired with a nickel-base superalloy that is more resistant to oxidation resistance than is the base metal in the operating environment of the tip-repaired gas turbine blade. The method does not include any step of coating a lateral surface of the repaired blade tip with a non-ceramic coating after the step of weld repairing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2004Publication date: June 29, 2006Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Mark Daniel Gorman, Warren Davis Grossklaus

Patent number: 6982126Abstract: A thermal barrier coating (TBC) for a component intended for use in a hostile thermal environment. The TBC has an interior region and an outer surface region on and contacting the interior region. Both regions are formed of a ceramic material, with the interior region having a lower thermal conductivity than zirconia partially stabilized by about seven weight percent yttria. The interior region constitutes more than half of the thickness of the TBC, and the outer surface region constitutes less than half of the thickness of the TBC. The TBC has a columnar microstructure whereby the interior region and the outer surface region comprise columns of their ceramic materials. The outer surface region is more erosion and impact resistant than the interior region at least in part as a result of the columns thereof being more closely spaced than the columns of the interior region.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2003Date of Patent: January 3, 2006Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Ramgopal Darolia, Irene Spitsberg, Brett Allen Rohrer Boutwell, Mark Daniel Gorman, Curtis Alan Johnson, Venkat Subramaniam Venkataramani
