  • Metal sprayed composite part
    Publication number: 20060228546
    Abstract: A method of making an article having both a polymeric substrate and a metallic spray deposited layer is disclosed. The coefficients of thermal expansion of the polymeric substrate and the metallic layer are preferably similar.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 7, 2005
    Publication date: October 12, 2006
    Applicant: General Magnaplate Corporation
    Inventors: Edmund Aversenti, Charles Covino
  • Combination high density/low density layers
    Publication number: 20060210718
    Abstract: A spray deposition method of making a metal mold is disclosed. The method includes spraying alternating lower and higher density layers of metallic material to form a mold.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: September 21, 2006
    Applicant: General Magnaplate Corporation
    Inventors: Edmund Aversenti, Allen Solomon, Charles Covino
  • Light weight spray tooling
    Publication number: 20060097423
    Abstract: A unitary metallic structure having a foam core used, for example as a mold, is formed by a spray deposition of metallic layers over a foam model. The shell is lighter in weight than other molds made by other processes.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: May 11, 2006
    Applicant: General Magnaplate Corporation
    Inventors: Edmund Aversenti, Charles Covino
  • Forming a molded article using improved thermal-sprayed tooling
    Publication number: 20050127562
    Abstract: A metallic shell used, for example as a mold, is formed by spray deposition connected to a base by rods or other supports connected to mounting elements which are incorporated in the shell during the deposition process. The shell can incorporate different metals to provide different thermal conductivity in various regions.
