METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING COATING IN NON-LINE-OF-SIGHT LOCATIONS

摘要

A method for coating a turbine engine component (50), said method includes the steps of: placing the component into a chamber (64); injecting a non-reactive carrier gas containing a coating material into the chamber; and forming a coating on a desired portion (61; 62) of the component by locally heating the desired portion of the component by redirecting a directed energy beam (70) onto the desired portion of the component.
