Claim Text:
1. A method for coating a component, comprising the steps of: shot peening a surface of the component; applying a coating to the shot peened surface by kinetic cold gas spraying; and cleaning the surface of the component prior to the step of applying; wherein the steps of shot peening, cleaning, and applying are performed by a same kinetic cold gas spraying device; wherein the steps of shot peening and cleaning are performed using first particles and the step of applying the coating is performed using second particles wherein the first particles are different from the second particles; and further comprising the step of switching directly from the first particles to the second particles via a blasting media supply of the same kinetic cold gas spraying device such that the step of applying the coating transitions continuously from the steps of shot peening and cleaning to immediately follow the steps of shot peening and cleaning.
