  • Manufacturing process for hard facing aluminum injection molds
    Patent number: 9796044
    Abstract: A number of variations may include a product that may include a substrate that may include an aluminum-nickel alloy and at least one surface and a coating that may include a metallic material deposited over the at least one surface via laser cladding.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 25, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2017
    Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLC

  • Cellular materials based molds with lower cycle time
    Patent number: 9688009
    Abstract: A mold comprising a scaffolding support structure including a base member, a top member and side members defining an enclosure. The scaffolding structure further includes a plurality of interconnected and elongated support members interspersed within the enclosure between the base member and the top member so as to define open space within the enclosure for ease of heating and cooling fluid flow, and a plurality of flow partitions within the enclosure. An intermediate layer is formed on the top member and a working surface layer is formed on the intermediate layer.
