  • Patent number: 9862175
    Abstract: A method of forming a molybdenum composite hybrid laminate is disclosed. The method includes treating a surface of each of a plurality of molybdenum foil layers. The method further includes interweaving the surface treated molybdenum foil layers with a plurality of composite material layers. The method further includes bonding with an adhesive layer each of the surface treated molybdenum foil layers to adjacent composite material layers to form a molybdenum composite hybrid laminate having improved yield strength.

  • Patent number: 9297068
    Abstract: Wear parts having run-out and methods of producing the same, systems and control structures used to produce wear parts having run-out, and associated methods and software are disclosed. Some methods utilize a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition process to produce a coating with a desired coating profile on a wear part.

  • Publication number: 20160053369
    Abstract: An apparatus may comprise a plasma deposition unit, a movement system, and a mesh system. The plasma deposition unit may be configured to generate a plasma. The movement system may be configured to move a substrate under the plasma deposition unit. The mesh system may be located between the plasma deposition unit and the substrate in which a mesh may comprise a number of materials for deposition onto the substrate and in which the plasma passing through the mesh may cause a portion of the number of materials from the mesh to be deposited onto the substrate.

  • Patent number: 8835743
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a thermoelectric composite sandwich structure with an integrated honeycomb core and method for making. The thermoelectric composite sandwich structure comprises two prepreg composite face sheets and an integrated honeycomb core assembled between the face sheets. The honeycomb core comprises a plurality of core elements bonded together with a core adhesive. Each core element has a first side substantially coated with a negative Seebeck coefficient conductive material having a plurality of first spaced gaps, and each core element further has a second side substantially coated with a positive Seebeck coefficient conductive material having a plurality of second spaced gaps. The honeycomb core further comprises a plurality of electrical connections for connecting in series the first side to the second side. A temperature gradient across the honeycomb core generates power.
