Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for manufacturing a turbomachine part coated with a thermal barrier, includes manufacturing the part by additive manufacture; electrophoretic depositing the part of a layer including particles of a ceramic material; consolidating the layer by heat treatment to obtain a ceramic coating.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for manufacturing a turbomachine part coated with a thermal barrier, the process comprising: manufacturing the part by additive manufacturing; electrophoretic depositing on the part of a layer comprising particles of a ceramic material, the electrophoretic depositing comprising dispersing the particles of the ceramic material in a sol-gel precursor monomer of said ceramic material which is liquid and polymerizing said sol-gel precursor monomer of said ceramic material to form said ceramic material; and consolidating the layer by heat treatment in order to obtain a ceramic coating to form at least part of the thermal barrier, wherein a surface roughness of the ceramic coating is less than a surface roughness of an outer surface of the part on which the ceramic coating is formed. 2. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising depositing a bond coat on the part, the layer being deposited on said bond coat. 3. The process according to claim 2 , wherein the bond coat comprises MCrAlYRE, with RE denoting Hf, and/or Si, and/or Ta, and/or Re, and/or Pt, and/or Pd, and with M denoting Ni and/or Co, or wherein the bond coat comprises aluminide modified with Pt, and/or Hf, and/or Si. 4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the heat treatment of the part to consolidate the ceramic coating is carried out by heating the part to a temperature above 700° C. 5. The process according to claim 4 , wherein the temperature is between 900° C. and 1100° C. 6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic coating has a thickness between 10 μm and 300 μm. 7. The process according to claim 6 , wherein the thickness is between 50 μm and 150 μm. 8. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic material comprises Y 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , CeO 2 , and/or stabilized or partially stabilized zirconia of the type ZrO 2 -REO 1.5 and/or RE 2 Zr 2 O 7 , with RE denoting one or more rare earth elements, and/or yttriated zirconia. 9. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the part is a turbine air distributor comprising a plurality of blades, the ceramic coating being deposited on the blades. 10. The process according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum profile height Rmax of the surface roughness of the outer surface of the part is greater than or equal to 50 μm and a maximum profile height Rmax of the surface roughness of the ceramic coating is less than or equal to 20 μm.
