  • Method of producing blades or blade arrangements of a turbomachine with erosion protection layers and correspondingly produced component
    Patent number: 10400613
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a blade or blade arrangement of a turbomachine, which features the following steps: producing a blade (4) from at least one blade material, machining the blade in at least one region of the blade by a surface machining process, cleaning the surface of the blade depositing an erosion protection coating (10) of at least two layers of different hardness by physical vapor deposition in the at least one region, machining the erosion protection coating (10) by a coating smoothing process in order to establish a defined surface roughness. Furthermore, the invention relates to correspondingly produced blades or blade arrangements.
