  • Comprehensive method for local application and local repair of thermal barrier coatings
    Patent number: 8221825
    Abstract: A method for the local initial application of a thermal barrier coating layer (3), or for the local repair of coating defects and/or deteriorations of components (1) in the hot gas path of a gas turbine engine, which components are coated with a thermal barrier coating layer, includes at least the following steps: (I) in the case of repair, normally overall inspection of the whole component (1) for the determination of the location of defect/deterioration, as well as of corresponding type of defect/deterioration of each place for a multitude of locations of the component (1); (II) if needed, preparation of the surface in at least one location; (III) local application of a ceramic tissue together with a wet chemical thermal barrier coating layer deposition material for the formation of a patch (5) of ceramic matrix composite; (IV)a intermediate inspection of the patch and/or the surface; (IV)b in the case of a repetitive and/or multi-step repair method, subsequent layer application of a ceramic tissue togethe
