Abstract

A method for coating a component with a thermal barrier coating, includes placing the component in a coating chamber and maintaining the component at a component temperature. A vacuum is established in the coating chamber. The process parameters vacuum pressure and component temperature are controlled together, at least during the coating process with a deposition of material forming the thermal barrier coating. The control takes place in such a way that the parameters are in a respective set-point value range and the thermal barrier coating grows with a columnar structure on the component. A coating device is also provided.
