Patents by Inventor Hans J. Seifert

Hans J. Seifert has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Product, especially a gas turbine component, with a ceramic heat insulating layer
    Patent number: 6764771
    Abstract: The invention relates to a product (1), particularly a gas turbine blade that can be exposed to a hot aggressive gas (7). The product (1) has a metallic basic body (2), which is provided with a thermal barrier coating (4) having a spinel of the composition AB2O4.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 2000
    Date of Patent: July 20, 2004
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Beate Heimberg, Wolfram Beele, Karl Kempter, Ulrich Bast, Thomas Haubold, Michael Hoffmann, Axel Endriss, Peter Greil, Chu-Wan Hong, Fritz Aldinger, Hans J. Seifert
  • Process for producing a ceramic thermal barrier layer for gas turbine engine component
    Patent number: 6602553
    Abstract: An article that is particularly well suited for use as a gas turbine engine component has a metallic substrate and a ceramic thermal barrier layer including a mixed metal oxide system comprising a compound selected from the group consisting of (i) a lanthanum aluminate and (ii) a calcium zirconate, the calcium in which is partially replaced by at least one calcium-substitute element, such as strontium (Sr) or barium (Ba). In addition, the lanthanum in the lanthanum aluminate can be partially replaced by a lanthanum-substitute element from the lanthanide group, particularly gadolinium (Gd). A process for producing such an article comprises providing a pre-reacted mixed metal oxide system as described above and applying it to the substrate by plasma spraying or an evaporation coating process.
