Abstract
A coating arrangement (16), including: a layer (18) of bond coat material (20); and a light-transmissive thermal barrier coating (TBC) mesh (28) having a TBC material (24) and secured in position relative to the layer of bond coat material. The coating arrangement may be positioned over a superalloy substrate material (12) and melted with a laser beam (62) to metallurgically bond the thermal barrier coating onto the substrate.
Claims20
A coating arrangement, comprising:
- a layer of bond coat material;
- and
- a light-transmissive thermal barrier coating (TBC) mesh comprising a TBC material and secured in position relative to the layer of bond coat material.
A method, comprising:
- creating an assembly comprising a discrete light-transmissive thermal barrier coating (TBC) mesh overlying a discrete layer of bond coat material overlying a substrate;
- directing an energy beam toward the assembly;
- heating at least one of the TBC mesh, the layer of bond coat material, and the substrate via the energy beam;
- and
- allowing the assembly to cool to form a metallurgically bonded assembly.
