Abstract

See full text

A turbine blade is coated by first applying a particle-entrapped tip coating to the tip of the airfoil. An aluminum-containing coating is thereafter applied to the airfoil, including to the tip of the airfoil overlying the particle-entrapped tip coating. The aluminum-containing coating is applied by providing a source of aluminum contacting the airfoil that deposits aluminum onto the airfoil at a coating temperature, and heating the airfoil to the coating temperature so that the aluminum-containing coating is deposited onto the airfoil, and so that the aluminum-containing coating and the particle-entrapped tip coating are diffused into the turbine blade substrate. The step of applying the aluminum-containing coating occurs without substantial prior interdiffusing of the particle-entrapped tip coating with the tip of the airfoil as a separate step.
