  • Method for forming metallic-based coating
    Patent number: 6413582
    Abstract: A method for coating an internal surface of a substrate includes providing a substrate having an internal surface, coating a slurry on the internal surface, the slurry containing a metallic powder, and drying the slurry such that the slurry forms a metal-based coating on the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 30, 1999
    Date of Patent: July 2, 2002
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Dong-Sil Park, D. Sangeeta, Yuk-Chiu Lau, Theodore Robert Grossman, David Alan Nye

  • Current limiting device and materials for a current limiting device
    Patent number: 6366193
    Abstract: A current limiting device comprises at least two electrodes; an electrically conductive composite material between the electrodes; interfaces between the electrodes the said composite material; and an inhomogeneous resistance distribution structure at the interfaces. During a high current event, adiabatic resistive heating at the interfaces causes rapid thermal expansion and vaporization and at least a partial physical separation at the interfaces; so the resistance of the current limiting device increases. The composite material comprises at least one polymeric matrix material and at least one electrically conductive material, and the polymeric matrix material comprises at least one epoxy and at least one silicone.
