Max Morant 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).

  • Patent number: 11965248
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing a metallic surface with a coating by applying one or more layers of one or more metal-containing slips to the surface. At least one of the slips comprises a coloring and/or color-imparting substance which has no influence on the properties of the completed coating and/or can be decomposed by thermal treatment, and the local thickness of the applied slip layer is determined on the basis of the local color intensity of the layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10006298
    Abstract: A method for coating a turbine blade of a gas turbine is disclosed. The method includes applying a lacquer coat to a region of the turbine blade, where the lacquer coat includes chromium particles and/or chromium alloy particles, halides, and a binding agent. The method further includes drying the applied lacquer coat at a temperature between 50° C. and 600° C. with disintegration of the binding agent and subsequent reactive connection at a temperature between 900° C. and 1160° C.

  • Patent number: 9890642
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing an alloyed, in particular multiple-alloyed aluminide or chromide layer on a component by alitizing or chromizing. First a green compact layer (9) consisting of a binder (5) and metal particles (7) is deposited on the component (1) to be coated and then alitizing or chromizing is carried out, binder and metal particles being deposited on the component separately from one another, first the binder and then the metal particles. A turbine component produced by this process is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9845526
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a slip for producing an aluminum diffusion layer which comprises an Al-containing powder and an Si-containing powder and a binder, the slurry further comprising an Al-containing powder the powder particles of which are coated with Si. The invention further relates to a process for producing an aluminum diffusion layer, comprising the following steps: providing a slurry according to any one of the preceding claims, applying the slurry to a component surface on which the aluminum diffusion layer is to be created, drying and/or curing by way of a heat treatment at a first temperature, and diffusion annealing at a second temperature.

  • Patent number: 9822258
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coating material for the production of an anti-corrosion and/or adhesion promoter layer, which material comprises metal powder and a phosphate-ion-containing solution as the binder, the metal powder being at least partially coated with Si or Si alloys or the binder consisting of phosphoric acid and metal phosphates and being substantially free of chromates. The invention further relates to a method for producing an anti-corrosion and/or adhesion promoter layer, comprising the following steps: Providing a coating material, such as indicated above, applying the coating material to a component surface on which the anti-corrosion and/or adhesion promoter layer is to be created, and drying and/or hardening by way of a heat treatment at a first temperature.

  • Publication number: 20110058951
    Abstract: A turbine blade of a gas turbine is disclosed. The turbine blade includes a blade pan, a blade root, and a platform positioned between the blade pan and the blade root. The turbine blade is provided with an anti-corrosion coating at least in regions, in particular on a lower side of the platform and/or in the transition region between the lower side of the platform and the blade root. The anti-corrosion coating is a diffusion coating having a chromium content in the surface region of more than 30% by weight.
