A method for producing a gas sensor element, for covering a detection portion (150) by an inner protection layer (21) and an outer protection layer (22), including: a first dipping step of dipping the gas sensor element into a first slurry S1 for the inner protection layer, to form a first coating film (700) on a front end surface (100c) and a peripheral surface (100d); a drying step of drying and solidifying the first coating film; a second dipping step of dipping, without removing the first coating film, the gas sensor element into a second slurry S2 for the outer protection layer, to form a second coating film (800) on a surface of the solidified first coating film; and a scraping-off step of performing scraping-off on the second coating film so as not to scrape-off the first coating film, to remove a part of the second coating film.

A cast component includes a cast structure having a primary geometry formed by a mold. Also included is a structural deposit formed by cold spraying one or more layers of powdered material on an outer surface of the cast structure, the structural deposit defining at least one feature of the overall outer geometry of the cast component in addition to the primary geometry. Also provided are methods of manufacturing the cast component.

A device for coating a metal strip substrate includes a guiding apparatus for guiding the strip substrate along a movement path. A first coating apparatus coats a first main side of the strip substrate with an electrostatically charged coating powder which is in a fluidized state. The first coating apparatus is arranged under a first path section of the movement path. A second coating apparatus coats a second main side of the strip substrate with an electrostatically charged coating powder which is in a fluidized state. A redirecting unit redirects the strip substrate between the first and the second coating apparatus in such a way that the strip substrate in a second path section travels oppositely to the strip substrate in the first path section. The second coating apparatus is arranged at least partly geodetically under the second path section.

The present disclosure is directed to a method for coating a component of a gas turbine engine. The method includes isolating a first portion of the component of the gas turbine engine from a second portion of the component. The method also includes simultaneously depositing a first coating material on the first portion of the component and a second coating material on the second portion of the component, wherein the first and second coating materials are different.

A coating process comprising applying to a surface a coating composition consisting essentially of an alkali metal silicate and an aqueous liquid phase having dispersed therein solid aluminum particles to form on the surface a wet coating; and drying said wet coating: under conditions which convert said wet coating to an electrically conductive, corrosion-resistant, solid coating; or under conditions which form a solid coating which is not electrically conductive (non-conductive) and thereafter treating said non-conductive coating under conditions which convert said non-conductive coating to an electrically conductive, corrosion-resistant coating.
