  • Patent number: 7976940
    Abstract: Coatings which are applied to a component have to be removed again in a complex way in certain regions, since a coating was not desired to be present in those regions. The subsequent removal of this layer adversely affects the component, for example its geometry. The method according to the invention for coating a component includes a masking which at least partially comprises a ceramic powder and can therefore easily be removed after the component has been coated.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050191421
    Abstract: Coatings that are applied to a component have to be removed again from certain areas using costly methods, because coating was not required in those areas. The subsequent removal of this layer can impair the component, for example in terms of its geometry. The inventive method for coating a component uses a mask, which consists at least partially of a ceramic powder and can therefore easily be removed after the component has been coated.
