AIRFOIL AND PROCESS FOR DEPOSITING AN EROSION-RESISTANT COATING ON THE AIRFOIL

A process for depositing coatings, and particularly erosion-resistant coatings suitable for protecting surfaces subjected to collisions with particles, such as a compressor blade of a gas turbine engine. The blade has an airfoil comprising oppositely-disposed convex and concave surfaces, oppositely-...

Zusammenfassung:A process for depositing coatings, and particularly erosion-resistant coatings suitable for protecting surfaces subjected to collisions with particles, such as a compressor blade of a gas turbine engine. The blade has an airfoil comprising oppositely-disposed convex and concave surfaces, oppositely-disposed leading and trailing edges defining therebetween a chord length of the airfoil, and a blade tip. An erosion-resistant coating is present on at least the concave surface, but not on the convex surface within at least 20% of the chord length from the leading edge.
