  • Methods for structural repair of components having damaged internally threaded openings and components repaired using such methods
    Patent number: 8601663
    Abstract: Methods are provided for structurally repairing a component having a damaged internally threaded opening. The damaged internally threaded opening is machined to a predetermined diameter, thereby forming a machined opening. At least one notch is formed in the machined opening, thereby forming a notched opening. A selected amount of repair material is cold sprayed into the notched opening, including into the at least one notch. A plurality of internal threads is formed from the repair material to form a repaired internally threaded opening in the component. The repaired components are also provided.

  • METHOD FOR DEPOSITING A WEAR COATING ON A HIGH STRENGTH SUBSTRATE WITH AN ENERGY BEAM
    Publication number: 20100221448
    Abstract: A method of forming a wear-resistant coating on a surface of a substrate includes the step of depositing a material comprising a rhenium-based composition onto the substrate surface using a handheld laser deposition device. A soluble interlayer may be formed on the surface of the substrate prior to the laser deposition step, and a heat treatment may be performed after the laser deposition step.
