A method for joining two or more metallic components. The method includes operating a cold-spray apparatus to deposit a feedstock comprising nickel-based alloy particles on a braze region of a first metallic component to form a nickel-containing coating on the braze region. The method also includes brazing the first metallic component and a second metallic component by exposing the braze region to a braze material to form a braze joint that bonds the first metallic component to the second metallic component.

A method of treating the surface of a 3D object, comprising obtaining a digital 3D shape representation defining characteristics of the object; using a computerised device to convert the 3D shape representation into a digital 2D shape representation defining the 3D surface of the object as it if laid out flat; using the computerised device to generate a digital 2D tool path representation defining movements an applicator or removal tool would take to treat the surface of the shape defined by the 2D shape representation; using the computerised device to convert the 2D tool path representation to a digital 3D tool path representation defining movements that the applicator or removal tool will take to deposit material on, or remove it from, the surface to treat the 3D object; and using the 3D tool path representation to control the applicator tool or removal tool to treat the 3D object.

Methods for repairing a component having a damaged region are provided. The method can include removing the damaged portion from the component to form an intermediate component, wherein the damaged portion has an original geometry; and applying using additive manufacturing a repaired portion onto the intermediate component to form a repaired component. The repaired portion can have a repaired geometry that includes at least one film hole absent in the original geometry, with the film holes being fluidly connected to a cooling supply of the repaired component.

An yttrium oxyfluoride sprayed coating contains Y.sub.5O.sub.4F.sub.7 as a main component. In the yttrium oxyfluoride sprayed coating, when the total intensity of all peaks attributable to yttrium oxyfluoride in a diffraction spectrum obtained by X-ray diffractometry is assumed to be 100, the total intensity of all peaks attributable to yttrium fluoride and yttrium oxide is less than 10. Furthermore, in an yttrium oxyfluoride-containing sprayed coating, when the total intensity of all peaks attributable to yttrium oxyfluoride and yttrium fluoride in a diffraction spectrum obtained by X-ray diffractometry is assumed to be 100, the total intensity of all peaks attributable to yttrium oxide is less than 1.
