Abstract: In one embodiment, systems and methods include using an automated laser system to remove a portion of a coating for nutplate installation. An automated laser system comprises a laser scanner and a laser head, wherein the laser head is coupled to the laser scanner. The laser head comprises a containment unit and a vacuum connector wherein the vacuum connector is disposed on a first side of the containment unit. The laser head further comprises a camera system, a light source, a first actuator, and a second actuator all disposed on a top surface of the containment unit. The laser head further comprises an end piece, wherein the second actuator is configured to displace the end piece.

Abstract: The insulated beverage housing provides an aperture for receiving a heat transfer body. Similarly, the heat transfer body provides an aperture for receiving a container. The heat transfer body stores a heat transfer material including but not limited to a fluid, gel, or other substance that can be heated or cooled depending upon the desired effect on the beverage. The removable heat transfer body may be easily removed and/or installed from the housing to heat or cool the heat transfer material for use in affecting the temperature of the beverage.

Abstract: The present invention provides a housing having an aperture adapted to receive a heat transfer unit. The heat transfer unit attaches to the housing and directs a heat transfer sleeve into the housing. The heat transfer sleeve also provides an aperture adapted to receive a beverage. The heat transfer sleeve stores a heat transfer material including but not limited to a fluid, gel, or other substance that can be heated or cooled depending upon the desired effect on the beverage. The removable heat transfer unit releasably attaches to the housing for removal of the unit to heat or cool the heat transfer material for use in affecting the temperature of the beverage.

Abstract: A method and system for depositing multiple materials onto a substrate is described. The method broadly comprises the steps of providing a source of a first powder material to be deposited, providing a source of a second powder material to be deposited, and sequentially depositing the first powder material and the second powder material onto the substrate at a velocity sufficient to deposit the materials by plastically deforming the materials without metallurgically transforming the particles of powder forming the materials.

Abstract: A process for applying a coating to a component used in an engine is provided. The process includes the steps of providing a component with at least one surface to be coated, and depositing at least one layer of powder coating material onto the at least one surface using a non-oxidizing carrier gas so that the powder coating material plastically deforms without melting and bonds to the at least one surface upon impact with the at least one surface. The process of the present invention has particular utility in applying bond coats to airfoil portions of turbine blades or vanes and to applying bond coats to combustion chamber liners.

Abstract: A process for restoring a worn edge of a component used in an engine is provided. The process comprises providing a component with a worn edge, and depositing at least one layer of powder metal material onto the worn edge using a non-oxidizing carrier gas so that the powder metal material plastically deforms without melting and bonds to the worn edge upon impact with the worn edge.

Abstract: A method for repairing components comprises the steps of providing a component having a defect to be repaired and depositing an aluminum containing repair material over an affected area on a surface of the component so that the repair material plastically deforms and bonds to the affected area upon impact with the affected area and thereby covers the affected area.

Abstract: A process for depositing a powder metal onto a substrate is performed by providing a substrate, depositing at least one layer of powder metal onto a surface of the substrate using a non-oxidizing carrier gas so that the powder metal plastically deforms without melting and bonds to a surface upon impact with the surface, and subjecting the at least one powder metal deposited layer to a treatment to improve density and/or raise a temperature of the at least one powder metal deposited layer. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the treatment to improve density and/or raise a temperature of the at least one powder metal deposited layer is a laser treatment.

Abstract: A method for repairing components formed from a superalloy material comprises the steps of providing a component formed from a superalloy material having a defect to be repaired and depositing a repair material onto a surface of the component using a non-oxidizing carrier gas so that the repair material plastically deforms and bonds to the surface upon impact with the surface and thereby covers the defect.

Abstract: A method for depositing a metallic material onto a substrate comprises the steps of placing the substrate in a vacuum chamber, inserting a spray gun nozzle into a port of the vacuum chamber, and depositing a powdered metallic material onto a surface of the substrate without melting the powdered metal material. The depositing step comprises accelerating particles of the powdered metal materials within the vacuum chamber to a velocity so that upon impact the particles plastically deform and bond to a surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A process for forming an article, such as a combustion chamber liner, comprises the steps of providing a mandrel formed from a material, such as an aluminum containing material, having a net shape of the article to be made, depositing a powdered metal material onto the mandrel without melting the powdered metal material, and removing the material forming the mandrel to leave a free standing monolithic article. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the powdered metal material comprises powdered GRCop-84. Alternatively, the powdered metal material may be GRCop-42.
