  • Method for the application of a water borne, sprayable erosion coating material
    Patent number: 6924005
    Abstract: A sprayable protective coating for preventing excessive aircraft and aircraft engine component deterioration caused by environmental variations comprises a water borne latex-based mixture, an additive for controlling the dielectric constant of the cured coating, and a catalyst for enabling the chemical reaction between the additive, de-ionized water for thinning material and the latex-based liquid. The process for applying and curing the coating uses a robotic spraying device and an iterative heating and soaking curing procedure.
    Type: Grant

  • Combined coat, heat treat, quench method for gas turbine engine components
    Patent number: 6488986
    Abstract: A method for imparting an aluminide coating to an alloy gas turbine engine component, heat treating the component, and quenching the component. The component is exposed to a source of aluminum at an elevated temperature in a coating furnace to deposit an aluminum-based oxidation barrier on the component, heated in the coating furnace to a temperature of at least the solution temperature of the alloy, and quenched by flowing a chilled inert gas around the component in the coating furnace to cool the component from the temperature of at least the solution temperature of the alloy to a temperature at which a gamma′ phase of the alloy is set in the alloy in less than about 10 minutes.
