Abstract

A method for forming a dense coating on a limited region of a subject body is disclosed. The method is composed of the steps of: applying one selected from the group of a compressed body of a powder of a metal and a sintered compressed body of a powder of a metal to a working electrode; executing discharge deposition to deposit a first coating from the working electrode on the subject body by applying the subject body as a workpiece of the discharge deposition; executing discharge deposition to deposit a second coating from the working electrode on the first coating by applying the subject body as a workpiece of the discharge deposition; and heating the subject body in one selected from the group of a vacuum, an air and an oxidizing atmosphere so as to densify the second coating or oxidizing the second coating at least in part to generate a solid lubricant substance.

Claims (20)

1. A method for forming a coating on a limited site of a subject body, comprising:

applying one selected from the group of a compressed body of a powder of a metal and a sintered compressed body of a powder of a metal to a working electrode;

executing discharge deposition to deposit a first coating from the working electrode on the subject body by applying the subject body as a workpiece of the discharge deposition;

executing discharge deposition to deposit a second coating from the working electrode on the first coating by applying the subject body as a workpiece of the discharge deposition; and

heating the subject body in one selected from the group of a vacuum, an air and an oxidizing atmosphere so as to densify the second coating or oxidizing the second coating at least in part to generate a solid lubricant substance.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

filling a solid lubricant material in pores included in the coating before the step of heating.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the solid lubricant material consists essentially of one selected from the group of hBN, MoS 2 , BaZrO 3 and Cr 2 O 3 .

4. A component for a gas turbine engine, comprising the subject body of claim 1 .

5. A gas turbine engine comprising the component of claim 4 .

6. A method for producing a product repaired from a subject body including a defect, the method comprising;

removing a portion defining the defect of the subject body;

applying one selected from the group of a compressed body of a powder of a metal and a sintered compressed body of a powder of a metal to a working electrode;

executing discharge deposition to deposit a buildup from the working electrode on the subject body by applying the subject body as a workpiece of the discharge deposition; and

heating the subject body in one selected from the group of a vacuum, an air and an oxidizing atmosphere so as to densify the buildup or oxidizing the deposition at least in part to generate a solid lubricant substance.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

filling a solid lubricant material in pores included in the buildup before the step of heating.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the solid lubricant material consists essentially of one selected from the group of hBN, MoS 2 , BaZrO 3 and Cr 2 O 3 .

9. A component for a gas turbine engine, comprising the subject body of claim 6 .

10. A gas turbine engine comprising the component of claim 9 .
