Methods of depositing coatings on electrical machine components

Abstract:

A method of forming a coating on a component of an electrical machine is presented. The method includes coating a surface of the component with a ceramic material, via an electrophoretic process, to form a first coating. The method further includes contacting the first coating deposited by the electrophoretic process with a polymeric material to form a second coating. The method furthermore includes curing or melting the polymeric material in the second coating to form the coating including the ceramic material dispersed in a polymer matrix.
