Abstract

The invention relates to a component for arrangement in the duct of a turbine engine. The component is provided with a coating, which has a surface structure with scales which overlap each other in the direction of flow of the turbine engine. The invention also relates to a spraying method for generating a coating on a component.

Claims (16)

1. A spraying method for producing a coating on a component of a gas turbine engine, comprising:

moving a mask with a mask opening to a first position such that the mask opening is aligned with a first restricted area of the component;

propelling ceramic particles through the mask opening in the first position and onto the first restricted area of the component;

forming scales in the first restricted area, based on the propelling of the ceramic particles through the mask opening in the first position, said scales in the first restricted area being aligned with a flow direction of combustion exhaust gas relative to the component;

moving the mask with the mask opening to a second position such that the mask opening is aligned with a second restricted area of the component;

propelling ceramic particles through the mask opening in the second position and onto the second restricted area of the component, said second restricted area having a partial overlap with the first restricted area in the flow direction of combustion exhaust gas relative to the component; and

forming scales in the second restricted area, based on the propelling of the ceramic particles through the mask opening in the second position, said scales in the second restricted area having a partial overlap with the scales in the first restricted area in the flow direction of the combustion exhaust gas relative to the component.

2. The spraying method of claim 1 , wherein the propelling steps are performed such that the ceramic particles are propelled at an inclined angle relative to a normal to a surface of the component.

3. The spraying method of claim 1 , further comprising forming grooves on the scales in the first restricted area and on the scales in the second restricted area, wherein said grooves are aligned with the flow direction of the combustion exhaust gas relative to the component.

4. The spraying method of claim 1 , wherein the propelling of ceramic particles onto the second restricted area are partially directed onto a portion of the scales in the first restricted area which extend into the second restricted area and are partially directed onto the component in the second restricted area.

5. The spraying method of claim 1 , wherein the mask comprises a plurality of mask openings, said plurality of mask openings are arranged next to one another in a direction perpendicular to a movement direction of the mask from the first position to the second position.

6. The spraying method of claim 2 , further comprising:

adjusting the inclined angle relative to the normal to the surface;

adjusting a form of a trailing edge region of the scales, based on the adjusting of the inclined angle;

adjusting a form of a leading edge region of the scales opposite to the trailing edge region, based on the adjusting of the inclined angle.

7. The spraying method of claim 6 , wherein the inclined angle ranges between 20 degrees and 40 degrees.
