Abstract
Systems and methods that provide or restore a coating to a component are provided. The systems and methods utilized an atomizing spray device. A slurry that comprises a fluid and ceramic particles, and a gas are supplied to the atomizing spray device. The slurry and gas are discharged from the spray device to form two-phase droplets. The fluid within the droplets evaporates to prevent the fluid from becoming part of the coating as the droplets traverse through the air and prior to impacting the surface of the component.
