COATING SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A coating system comprising:
- a support fixture sized to be partially inserted into one or more openings of a component; and
a spray nozzle segment device comprising a housing configured to receive a slurry, the spray nozzle segment device configured to be disposed radially outward of a central axis of the component and shaped to extend circumferentially about at least part of the central axis of the component, the housing comprising plural delivery nozzles configured to spray the slurry onto a surface of the component,wherein the spray nozzle segment device is configured to be operably coupled with the support fixture such that the support fixture maintains a position of the spray nozzle segment device within the component when the support fixture is partially inserted into the one or more openings of the component.

15. A method comprising:
-
maintaining a position of a spray nozzle segment device inside a component with a support fixture, the spray nozzle segment device comprising a housing configured to receive a slurry, the spray nozzle segment device configured to be disposed radially outward of a central axis of the component and shaped to extend circumferentially about at least part of the central axis of the component, the housing comprising plural delivery nozzles configured to spray the slurry onto a surface of the component, the support fixture sized to be partially inserted into one or more openings of the component, wherein the spray nozzle segment device is configured to be operably coupled with the support fixture such that the support fixture maintains a position of the spray nozzle segment device within the component when the support fixture is partially inserted into the one or more openings of the component; and spraying the slurry onto the surface of the component as a coating on the component. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
