Filed:

Sep 28, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/407495

Inventors:

Anthony Mark Thompson - Niskayuna NY
Wayne Charles Hasz - Pownal VT

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

C23C 404

US Classification:

427452, 427454, 427456

Abstract:

A method for forming a thermal barrier coating system on a turbine engine component includes forming a bondcoat on the turbine engine component and depositing a thermal barrier coating so as to overlie the bondcoat. The bondcoat is formed by thermally co-spraying first and second distinct alloy powders on the turbine engine component forming an oxidation-resistant region, and thermally spraying a third alloy powder on the oxidation-resistant region to form a bonding region. The oxidation-resistant region is more resistant to oxidation than the bonding region.

Abstract:

A method for providing a protective coating on a metal-based substrate is disclosed. The method involves the application of an aluminum-rich mixture to the substrate to form a discontinuous layer of aluminum-rich particles, followed by the application of a second coating over the discontinuous layer of aluminum-rich particles. Aluminum diffuses from the aluminum-rich layer into the substrate, and into any bond coat layer which is subsequently applied. Related articles are also described.

International Classification:

H01M 214

US Classification:

429 38, 429 30, 429 34, 429 35

Abstract:

A fuel cell stack includes at least one fuel cell unit and a number of interconnects defining at least two openings and including at least one flow field for flowing a reagent. Each opening defines a respective fuel manifold, including at least one each of intake and exhaust fuel manifolds. The fuel cell unit includes an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte disposed therebetween. The anode is adjacent to and in both electrical connection and fluid communication with one of the interconnects, which has a flow field that guides a fuel flow between the intake and exhaust fuel manifolds. The cathode is adjacent to and in both electrical connection and fluid communication with another interconnect with a flow field that guides an oxidant flow. The fuel cell stack includes a perimeter isolation seal and at least two interior isolation seals for sealing the electrolyte to the respective interconnects.

US Classification:

374160

Abstract:

A system and method for gathering diagnostic information relating to an operating condition of a gas stream or processing path of a coal gasification system is disclosed. The information is gathered by deploying one or more specially constructed modules or seeds that proceed through the gas stream of the coal gasification system as part of the mass flow of the gas stream. The seed may be physically recoverable in which an outer material of the seed ablates when exposed to a predetermined temperature of the gas stream. The seed may be physically non-recoverable in which electronic circuitry transmits a signal to a receiver relating to the temperature of the gas stream.
