Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 88 words
A method for producing a turbine component having an adherent ceramic thermal barrier coating on at least a portion of its surface, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a superalloy substrate with a clean surface, (b) applying a metallic bond coating onto at least a portion of said substrate surface, (c) depositing a high purity alpha alumina layer substantially free of other metallic oxides and porosity on said bond coating by a chemical vapor deposition process; and (d) applying a ceramic thermal barrier coating onto the alumina layer.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 88 words
A method for producing a turbine component having an adherent ceramic thermal barrier coating on at least a portion of its surface, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a superalloy substrate with a clean surface, (b) applying a metallic bond coating onto at least a portion of said substrate surface, (c) depositing a high purity alpha alumina layer substantially free of other metallic oxides and porosity on said bond coating by a chemical vapor deposition process; and (d) applying a ceramic thermal barrier coating onto the alumina layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said ceramic coating is applied by an electron beam, physical vapor deposition process.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the ceramic coating is applied as a columnar grained coating containing zirconia.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 3 further including the step of densifying the exterior surface of the ceramic coating.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said metallic bond coating is applied by electron beam vapor deposition of a MCrAlY layer on said substrate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method of claim 5 wherein said MCrAlY layer is applied after aluminizing said substrate.
