A method for coating a component having: a metallic substrate; a ceramic coating having one or more ceramic coating layers atop the substrate; and a cooling passageway system comprising a plurality of feed passageways extending from one or more inlet ports and a plurality of outlet passageways. The outlet passageways have openings in the coating. The method involves: applying a slurry aluminide to the plurality of outlet passageways; coupling the one or more inlets to a suction source; applying an external gas flow to the component, the suction source drawing the external gas in through the outlet passageways and out through the one or more inlet ports, the external gas flow comprising at least 50% by volume combined one to all of Ar, He, and H; and while the suction source is drawing the external gas, heating the component to aluminize the cooling passageway system.

Internal aluminization of coated substrates

A method for coating a metallic substrate includes applying an MCrAlY coating. Machining removes the MCrAlY coating from one or more regions of the substrate. A simultaneous aluminizing and chromizing: aluminizes an interior surface region of the substrate lacking the MCrAlY and at least a portion of a region where the MCrAlY remains; and chromizes an exterior surface region of the substrate lacking the MCrAlY and at least a different portion of the region where the first MCrAlY remains.

Turbine airfoil coating

A gas turbine engine component includes a substrate having first surface and a second surface disposed opposite the first surface, a plurality of holes extending through the substrate from the first surface to the second surface, the holes defined by a plurality of respective walls each extending from the first surface to the second surface, a metallic bond coat disposed on the first surface, and an aluminide coating disposed on the first surface, the second surface, and the walls. The metallic bond coat is disposed between the first surface and the aluminide coating and the walls are free of the metallic bond coat.

Internal aluminide coating for vanes and blades and method of manufacture

A method of repairing a defectively manufactured multi-layer component having a substrate material and a primer layer includes applying, to the primer layer, a solvent that causes the primer layer to swell to form a swelled primer layer. The method also includes abrading away the swelled primer layer from the multi-layer component and rebuilding the multi-layer component by forming a new primer layer on the substrate material.
