  • gas turbine components or components of an aircraft engine can be coated by thermal spraying. It is known - at least the applicant internally - further that prior to such thermal spraying, the surface of the corresponding component can be roughened to effect a better grip of the subsequently applied layer. Such roughening can also be called activating.
  • This - at least the applicant internally known design thus initially requires a transport to the blasting chamber, and thus appropriate transport time, a subsequent take in holding devices of the blasting chamber, and thus appropriate set-up times, and a corresponding removal of the component and a transport to the injection chamber, and thus correspondingly connected times, as well as a subsequent spraying within the injection chamber.
  • the present invention has the object to provide a way to edit the surface of gas turbine components, in particular for thermal spraying of gas turbine components, which allows low cycle times.
  • a method for processing a surface of a component such as a component of an aircraft engine, is proposed.
  • the processing can be in particular a blasting or roughening and / or coating.

  • This burner, this powder and this component can be done in any order or overlapping in time or at the same time.
  • the surface of the component is blasted by means of the ceramic powder and by means of the HVOF burner.
  • the ceramic powder is thereby moved by means of the beam generated by the HVOF burner on the surface of the component, such as component of the aircraft engine, to roughen this surface.
  • the component may, as mentioned, be a component of an aircraft engine; but other components are also contemplated, such as printing rollers of the printing industry, e.g. Pressure roller with a diameter of 6 m and a diameter of 1 m, or hydraulic cylinder or the like.
  • printing rollers of the printing industry e.g. Pressure roller with a diameter of 6 m and a diameter of 1 m, or hydraulic cylinder or the like.
  • HVOF high velocity oxy-flame flame spraying
  • the ceramic is not melted during high-speed flame spraying or during the acceleration or movement by means of a burner for the high-speed flame spraying or cold gas spraying device. This is especially so that the temperatures occurring are not sufficient to melt ceramic.
  • a screening of the ceramic powder or of the ceramic-containing powder takes place before application by means of the HVOF burner.
  • This can for example be such that by means of the screening a predetermined defined grain size of the ceramic powder is set, or a grain size that is smaller than a predetermined grain size limit, or a predetermined grain size, which is in a predetermined grain size range.
  • the screening out takes place in such a way that the grain size is substantially 120 mesh or substantially smaller than 120 mesh.
  • the entire surface or the entire outer surface of the component of the aircraft engine is blasted. It can also be provided that a portion of the addressed outer surface or the surface of the component is blasted.
  • At least one roughened or activated portion of the surface of the component (the aircraft engine) by means of the same HVOF burner or by means of the same cold gas injection device is coated.
  • This coating is carried out in a preferred embodiment by HVOF spraying or cold gas spraying (cold gas spraying).
  • HVOF High Velocity Oxy-Fuel Flame
  • -Spraying is Germanized as a technical term.
  • HVOF High Velocity Oxy-Fuel Flame
  • the designs that relate to the invention or its developments in the present Revelation are called and in connection with which the HVOF is called, in alternative inventive design in relation to the respective reference to the HVOF may have a corresponding reference to cold gas spraying (cold gas spraying).
  • the HVOF spraying is carried out by means of the same HVOF burner, by means of which the aforementioned radiation takes place, in particular with respect to the roughened or activated surface or a portion of the roughened or activated surface or with respect to the blasted surface or a portion of the blasted surface.
  • the HVOF burner is designed such that by means of this can produce a hot gas jet, wherein a plurality of separate channels are provided, from which optional powder in the given during operation hot gas jet can be brought.
  • a hot gas jet wherein a plurality of separate channels are provided, from which optional powder in the given during operation hot gas jet can be brought.
  • different powders can be brought into the mentioned hot gas jet from different channels.
  • a switching possibility or switching device can be provided.
  • a first of said channels communicates with a first container in which ceramic powder is provided for blasting or activating or roughening the surface or the surface portion, and that a second of these channels is in communication with a second, different from the first container container, wherein in this second container, a powder for the thermal spraying or the HVOF spraying of said surface portion or said surface is given.
  • a switching device which allows first roughening or activating or blasting of the surface by means of the ceramic powder delivered from one of the containers and the corresponding output through the first channel, and then - in particular by means of the switching device - the first container or first channel can be closed or closed, and a second container and / or channel is opened, through which powder emerges, which is discharged into the hot gas jet and then causing thermal spraying or HVOF spraying of the previously blasted or activated surface.
  • At least a portion of the ceramic powder of the HVOF burner is accelerated to a speed which is above 300 m / s, preferably above 400 m / s, more preferably above 700 m / s , preferably above 1000 m / s.
