Method for the production of an abradable spray coating

Abstract

A method for producing a spray coating, in particular an abradable spray coating for components of a turbine engine by a thermal spraying process, is disclosed. An online process monitoring system, especially a PFI unit and/or a spectrometer unit, is provided for monitoring and regulating the thermal spraying process, where at least one process parameter is calculated according to the formula pB1=PB2+HB1−HB2−(Δx·y)/z+n, where pB1 is the process parameter of the component that is to be coated, pB2 is the process parameter of a previous coating, HB1 is the hardness of the spray coating that is to be coated, HB2 is the hardness of the previous spray coating, Δx is a process variable of the online process monitoring system, and y, z and n are constant parameters.
