    Abstract: Systems and methods for a stabilized evaporable getter for increased handleability is provided. In certain embodiments, a method includes preparing a first getter material, a second getter material, and a metal material. Additionally, the method includes mixing the first getter material, the second getter material, and the metal material into a mixed getter material. Further, the method includes placing the mixed getter material into a getter holder. Also, the heat-treating the getter holder at a temperature below an activation temperature for an exothermic reaction of the mixed getter material but above a melting temperature of the metal material.

    Abstract: A method for using a shape memory alloy (SMA) with a non-evaporable getter (NEG) employed in a vacuum device is disclosed. The method comprises coupling a NEG component to a SMA component to form an NEG/SMA assembly pair; heating the NEG/SMA assembly pair to activate the NEG component; and packaging the activated NEG component with the SMA component to form an NEG/SMA package having a gas tight seal. The method further comprises installing the NEG/SMA package in the vacuum device; and heating the installed NEG/SMA package such that the SMA component is actuated to expose the activated NEG component to a vacuum chamber in the vacuum device.

    Abstract: A method of applying a protective coating to a substrate includes the steps of: providing a turbine engine component substrate formed of a ceramic matrix composite material, forming an environmental barrier coating layer including a rare earth disilicate material directly on the substrate, treating an outer surface of the environmental barrier coating layer to form a thermal barrier coating layer including a porous rare earth monociliate material directly on the environmental barrier coating layer. The step of treating the outer surface is performed using a thermal process consisting of the application of heat or a chemical-thermal process consisting of the application of heat and a chemical. The method further includes infiltrating at least a portion of the pores with a metal solution or suspension.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for forming a coating layer on a cold sprayed component. The systems include a mold including interior surfaces that define a mold cavity, a first deposition apparatus configured to form an initial layer on the interior surfaces of the mold, a second deposition apparatus configured to form a coating layer on the initial layer, a cold spraying additive manufacturing apparatus configured to form a component layer on the coating layer such that contact surfaces between the component layer and the coating layer form a bond in situ, a component removal apparatus configured to separate the initial layer from the mold, and a layer removal apparatus configured to remove the initial layer from the coating layer, wherein the component layer defines a component and the coating layer defines a coating thereon.
