Yes. To perform heat treatments and life rejuvenating repairs all coatings must be removed from the component. The alloy has to be heat treated at higher temperatures then the coatings allow for.
It depends, on the type of repair to be performed along with the existing condition of the parent material and coatings.

"The service we received was excellent! In fact, it was better than expected; with another vendor, we experienced extensive fall out (blades and vanes identified as not repairable), and we would have partial sets in our inventory. The material Liburdi identified as not repairable was minimal, six row one blades and two row two vanes. We sent spares from our inventory as requested, and they were fitted into the rows to complete the sets [giving us complete sets of blades and vanes, not partial sets]. Liburdi delivered all the material on schedule.
...Overall Liburdi made this process easy by dealing with professional people who are confident with their procedures and the service they provide."
Choosing coatings tailored to specific plant requirements is crucial, as the standard OEM coating, inherently a compromise, may not align optimally with the unique needs of your plant, including fuel, environmental considerations, and operational goals. Post-service metallurgical analysis plays a key role in evaluating whether an alternative coating would prove more effective. Leveraging Liburdi's expertise ensures the adept selection of the most suitable coating for each application and environment. In instances of peaking applications, a distinct coating is preferred for enhanced protection and extended component life, effectively preventing issues such as coating cracking and airfoil damage.
Diffusion coatings use up the base material as part of the coatings. You have to consider that during repair you'll loose wall thickness. Overlay coatings are an addition on top of the base material. During repair the integrity of the parts is less compromised.
The metallic coatings are oxidation and corrosion resistant. The ceramic coatings provides thermal resistance and are always used in conjuction with a metallic undercoating.
Yes. Hard facing coatings like CrC are used throughout the turbine to prevent fretting.
Imagine the pain of battling erosion on airfoils, hindering your engine's performance and longevity. But there's a solution – Liburdi's RICTM "Reactive Ion Coating."
