  • Thermal barrier coatings and methods of application
    Patent number: 9139897
    Abstract: A coated part is exposed to a gas flow. The gas flow has a characteristic gas flow direction distribution over a surface of the coated part. The coated part has a substrate having a substrate surface and a coating over the substrate surface. The coating comprises at least one coating layer. A first such layer is columnar and has a column boundary direction distribution. The column boundary direction distribution is selected for partial local alignment with the gas flow direction distribution.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 30, 2010
    Date of Patent: September 22, 2015
    Assignee: United Technologies Corporation
    Inventors: Igor V. Belousov, Yuriy G. Kononenko, Vadim I. Bondarchuk, Anatoly Kuzmichev, John F. Mullooly, Jr.
  • Ceramic coating deposition
    Patent number: 9023437
    Abstract: A ceramic material is applied to a part. The part is placed in a deposition chamber and a first electric potential is applied to the part. Components are evaporated for forming the material. The evaporated components are ionized. The first electric potential is modulated so as to draw the ionized component to the part. The modulation comprises maintaining at least an ion current density in a range of 2-1000 mA/cm2.

  • Ceramic coating deposition
    Patent number: 8642140
    Abstract: A material is applied to a part. The part is placed in a deposition chamber and a first electric potential is applied to the part. Components are evaporated for forming the material. The evaporated components are ionized. The first electric potential is modulated so as to draw the ionized component to the part. The modulation comprises a plurality of first steps for PA-PVD. Each of the first steps comprises a series of pulses of negative potential. The modulation further comprises a plurality of second steps for PVD alternating with the first steps.
