  • COATING CONTAINING MACROPARTICLES AND CATHODIC ARC PROCESS OF MAKING THE COATING
    Publication number: 20200032384
    Abstract: Provided is a method of cathodic arc process for making a coating containing macroparticles on an airfoil. A structure and/or composition of the macroparticles is selected to provide self-healing of the coating in a corrosive environment, and to provide corrosion resistance and erosion resistance to the coated airfoil.
    Type: Application

  • Coating containing macroparticles and cathodic arc process of making the coating
    Patent number: 10465278
    Abstract: Provided is a method of cathodic arc process for making a coating containing macroparticles and a coating containing macroparticles. The process comprising inserting a work piece into a cathodic arc apparatus, vaporizing a cathodic material and adjusting the parameters of the arc to form liquid, semi-solid or solid macroparticles which are embedded into or onto the coating.
