IMPARTING FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS TO ENGINE PORTIONS

摘要

A method of imparting one or more of a variety of functional characteristic to a portion of an engine (e.g., a turbine or diesel engine) by depositing particles from different particle feedstocks so as to form a high temperature resistant coating on a surface of the engine portion, where the particle feedstocks are varied in-situ while the particle are being deposited and at least one functional characteristic corresponds to, or results from, using different particle feedstocks.
