  • Airflow masking of carbon-carbon composites for application of antioxidants
    Patent number: 7241476
    Abstract: Mask (10, 10?, 21, 22) for use in coating a carbon-carbon composite brake disc (25) with anti-oxidant. The mask is composed of carbon-carbon composite material or nonreactive ceramic material. The mask is configured with edge ridges (11, 13) that are aligned with the outer and inner annular diameters of the carbon-carbon composite brake disc, a gasflow channel (12) between the ridges, and a gas access port (18) that allows gas to enter the gasflow channel. The mask may also include a gas exit port (16) having a valve (17) operatively connected thereto, so that gas flow may be restricted when pressure within the mask and carbon-carbon composite brake disc falls below a specified minimum value.
