Claim Text:
1. A coating process, comprising: positioning an article relative to and external to an inductor, the article being a turbine component; heating the article with the inductor while positioned external to the inductor; then applying a coating material over the article to form a crystalline coating, applying the coating material over the article including dispensing the coating material from a material source to the article, the material source being remote from the article, the coating material being selected from the group consisting of a thermal barrier coating material, a bond coating material, an environmental barrier coating material, and combinations thereof, the crystalline coating corresponding to the coating material and being selected from the group consisting of a thermal barrier coating, a bond coating, an environmental barrier coating, and combinations thereof; wherein the heating of the article increases a first temperature of a surface of the article to a second temperature favoring crystal formation over amorphous formation of the coating material, and the second temperature is maintained by heating with the inductor while applying the coating material.
