Patent number: 10247540Abstract: A method of determining a thickness of a submicron carbon of a carbon-coated metal base plate that includes conducting Raman spectroscopy at a target location of the carbon-coated metal base plate to obtain a Raman shift spectrum for the target location. The Raman shift spectrum obtained at the target location is then converted into a calculated thickness of the submicron carbon coating at the target location. The conversion of the Raman shift spectrum into the calculated thickness of the submicron carbon coating at the target location may involve referencing a linear correlation that has been established over the defined wavenumber range between (1) an integrated intensity of a Raman carbon signal obtained from each of a series of reference plates that includes a submicron carbon coating having a verified thickness and (2) the verified thicknesses of the submicron carbon coatings of the series of reference plates.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Ratandeep S.

Patent number: 9775252Abstract: A method of soldering a shape memory alloy (SMA) element to a component includes positioning a tinned end of the SMA element with respect to a surface of the component, and then directly soldering the tinned end to the surface using solder material having a low liquidus temperature of 500° F. or less when an oxide layer is not present on the SMA element. The end may be soldered using lead-based solder material at a higher temperature when an oxide layer is present. The end may be tinned with flux material containing phosphoric acid or tin fluoride prior to soldering the SMA element. The SMA element may be submersed in an acid bath to remove the oxide layer. The solder material may contain tin and silver, antimony, or zinc, or other materials sufficient for achieving the low liquidus temperature. Heat penetrating the SMA element is controlled to protect shape memory abilities.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2015Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Nicholas W Pinto, IV, Nancy L.
