  • METHOD AND DEVICE TO PREVENT COATING A DOVETAIL OF A TURBINE AIRFOIL
    Publication number: 20100000468
    Abstract: A method and masking assembly for masking a dovetail portion of a turbine blade during coating of an airfoil portion of the blade. The masking assembly comprises at least two masking members, each having an exterior surface and an oppositely-disposed undulatory surface complementary to one of oppositely-disposed undulatory surfaces of the dovetail portion. By mating the masking members, the undulatory surfaces thereof define an interior cavity within the masking assembly that accommodates the dovetail portion, and the undulatory surfaces of the masking members contact the undulatory surfaces of the dovetail portion to entrap the dovetail portion within the interior cavity of the masking assembly.

  • Method for protecting a surface with a silicon-containing diffusion coating
    Patent number: 6933012
    Abstract: A surface of an article is protected by coating the surface with a silicon-containing coating by preparing a coating mixture of silicon, a halide activator, and an oxide powder, positioning the surface of the article in gaseous communication with the coating mixture, and heating the surface of the article and the coating mixture to a coating temperature of from about 1150° F. to about 1500° F. The article is preferably a component of a gas turbine engine made of a nickel-base superalloy.
