Abstract
A method for manufacturing a blade () for a turbomachine, the blade having a hardfacing on its tip () and an erosion-protection coating () at least on its airfoil () is provided. Initially, a blade tip hardfacing is applied to the blade tip and, subsequently, a mask () is positioned in the region of the blade tip hardfacing, the mask covering the blade tip hardfacing, and, subsequently, the erosion-protection coating is deposited. The mask is removed after the erosion-protection coating is completed. A blade for a turbomachine, the blade having a hardfacing on its tip () and an erosion-protection coating () at least on its airfoil () is also provided. The erosion-protection coating at least partially covers the blade tip hardfacing, and the thickness of the erosion-protection coating decreases continuously in and/or toward the region of the blade tip hardfacing.
