Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for coating components by thermal spraying, wherein not the entire surface of the component is to be coated and wherein those parts of the surface that are not to be coated are covered by masking before coating, characterized in that the covering is made by means of paste processes at least in the areas of critical mask boundaries, i.e. by means of a paste dispensed from at least one nozzle.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for coating components by thermal spraying, wherein not the entire surface of the component is to be coated and wherein those parts of the surface that are not to be coated are covered by masking before coating and wherein the covering is made by means of paste processes at least in the areas of critical mask boundaries, i.e. by means of a paste dispensed from at least one nozzle, wherein the paste is a curable paste and curing is photo induced and preferably made by means of UV radiation, characterized in that the masking comprises a partial masking step and a complementary masking step, the complementary masking step being performed at least in the area of critical mask boundaries and the partial masking step being performed in an area spaced from the area of critical mask boundary and the method of partial masking is not a paste process.
