A method of treating a substrate of a turbomachine component includes applying a coating to a surface of the substrate of the turbomachine component and peening the substrate after applying the coating to the surface by directing a peening force onto the coating whereby the peening force on the coating is transferred through the coating to the substrate. A method of treating an internal surface of a turbomachine component includes directing a peening force at the internal surface within a cooling passage of the turbomachine component.

The invention relates to a turbine part, such as a turbine blade or a distributor fin, for example, comprising a substrate made of a monocrystalline nickel superalloy, a metal sublayer covering the substrate, and a protective layer of metal oxide covering the sublayer, characterised in that the metal sublayer has one surface in contact with the protective layer and the surface has a mean roughness of less than 1 m.

A method for providing an anti-coking coating system on a surface at elevated temperatures when contacted by a hydrocarbon fluid, for example, a surface of an interior fuel passage within a fuel nozzle of a type utilized in gas turbine engines, is disclosed. The surface of the passage is rough as a result of the passage being part of a component manufactured by an additive manufacturing (AM) process. In addition, the passage may have a complex geometry of a type that can be fabricated with AM processes, for example, geometries comprising combinations of sharp bends and narrow cross-sections. The coating system comprises at least one ceramic barrier layer and an outermost metallic layer, each of which is formed using a conformal vapor deposition process.

A gas turbine engine includes: a turbine section including a casing extending circumferentially about a plurality of turbine blades and having at least one seal member coated with an abradable coating. At least one turbine blade has sides and a tip and at least one seal member is located adjacent to the tip of the at least one turbine blade. The tip of the at least one turbine blade has a wear resistant layer and an abrasive coating disposed on the wear resistant layer. The wear resistant layer has a thickness less than or equal to 10 mils (254 micrometers) and includes metal boride compounds.

A method of applying a protective coating to an article comprises the steps of a) depositing aluminum in a surface region of an article, and b) depositing chromium is the surface region of the article subsequent to step a), whereby at least a portion of the chromium replaces at least a portion of the aluminum. Another method and an article are also disclosed.

A coated ceramic matrix composite component and a gas turbine assembly are provided. The coated ceramic matrix composite component comprises a substrate comprising an endface surface and a hot gas path surface. The hot gas path surface is arranged and disposed to contact a hot gas path when the component is installed in the gas turbine assembly. The endface surface is disposed at an endface angle to the hot gas path surface and opposing at least one adjacent component when the component is installed in the gas turbine assembly. The coated ceramic matrix composite component further comprises an environmental barrier coating on at least a portion of the endface surface.

Protective coatings on an aerospace component and methods for depositing the protective coatings are provided. A method for depositing a coating on an aerospace component includes exposing an aerospace component to a first precursor and a first reactant to form a first deposited layer on a surface of the aerospace component by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process or a first atomic layer deposition (ALD) process and exposing the aerospace component to a second precursor and a second reactant to form a second deposited layer on the first deposited layer by a second ALD process, where the first deposited layer and the second deposited layer have different compositions from each other.

A method of applying a protective coating to an article comprises the steps of a) depositing aluminum in a surface region of an article, and b) depositing chromium is the surface region of the article subsequent to step a), whereby at least a portion of the chromium replaces at least a portion of the aluminum. Another method and an article are also disclosed.

Ceramic matrix composite articles include, for example, a plurality of unidirectional arrays of fiber tows in a matrix having a monomodal pore size distribution, and a fiber volume fraction between about 15 percent and about 35 percent. The articles may be formed by, for example, providing a shaped preform comprising a prepreg tape layup of unidirectional arrays of fiber tows, a matrix precursor, and a pore former, curing the shaped preform to pyrolyze the matrix precursor and burnout the pore former so that the shaped preform comprises the unidirectional arrays of fiber tows and a porous matrix having a monomodal pore size distribution, and subjecting the cured shaped preform to chemical vapor infiltration to densify the porous matrix so that the ceramic matrix composite article has a fiber volume fraction between about 15 percent and about 35 percent.
