Abstract:
A process for applying a coating to an axially split component includes the steps of installing at least one expansion or contraction device to at least one half of an axially split component; expanding at least one half to change a radius and maintain a constant curvature of at least one masked piece; applying a coating to the half; and, removing at least one expansion or contraction device from at least one half.
A composition for deposition as a coating includes a matrix material having a molten fraction of between about 33% and about 90% by volume and a filler material interspersed within the matrix.
