 Quality Control
• In house Metallurgical assessment
of coating quality.
• QC Test pieces with every batch
of parts.
• Verification of Coating quality &
microstructure
• Checking for:
– Un melted particles
– Oxides
– Delamination & interface
contamination
– Coating cracking
– Thickness
 Complex Geometry Program
Validation
• Complex geometry
components, such as
vanes and transition ducts.
• Test piece validation
methods required.
• Sections taken from test
tabs mounted over surface
of components
