  • Patent number: 11549381
    Abstract: A coating fabrication method includes providing engineered granules and thermally consolidating the engineered granules on a substrate to form a silicate-resistant barrier coating. Each of the engineered granules is an aggregate of at least one refractory matrix region and at least one calcium aluminosilicate additive region (CAS additive region) attached with the at least one refractory matrix region. In the thermal consolidation, the refractory matrix region from the engineered granules form grains of a refractory matrix of the silicate-resistant barrier coating and the CAS additive region from the engineered granules form CAS additives that are dispersed in grain boundaries between the grains.

  • Patent number: 11466589
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine article includes a substrate and an environmental barrier coating (EBC) system disposed on the substrate. The EBC system includes, from the substrate, a dense bond coat layer, a porous bond coat layer, and a topcoat layer in contact with the porous bond coat layer at an interface. The porous bond coat layer includes a matrix, oxygen-scavenging gas-evolution particles dispersed through the matrix, and engineered buffer pores. The oxygen-scavenging gas-evolution particles react with oxygen and generate a gaseous byproduct that diffuses through the interface to escape the EBC system. The engineered buffer pores buffer diffusion of gaseous byproduct to the interface by retaining at least a portion of the gaseous byproduct.

  • Publication number: 20220297345
    Abstract: A method of forming a coating includes providing a mold that has a flexible wall that defines a mold cavity, inserting a component that is to be coated into the mold cavity, the component having a component surface roughness and there being a coating gap defined between the component and the flexible wall of the mold cavity, introducing a molding slurry into the mold cavity, the molding slurry filling the coating gap and contacting the component so as to overcoat the component surface roughness, solidifying the molding slurry to form a green coating on the component, and consolidating the green coating to form a final coating on the component, the final coating having a coating surface roughness that is less than the component surface roughness.

  • Patent number: 11210326
    Abstract: A computing device selects a sample of data values from an existing data column in a data source. The device generates statistics describing occurrence of consistent delimiters within the sample of data values. The device identifies a first delimiting location within the sample of data values in accordance with the generated statistics. It also creates first and second new data values by splitting each data value in the existing data column at the first identified delimiting location. It stores the first and second new data values in first and second new data columns, respectively, and assigns field names to the first and second new data columns. The device further displays, in a data visualization user interface, the assigned field names and a data visualization generated according to the first new data values based on user selection of the assigned field name of the first new data column.
