  • Patent number: 9764351
    Abstract: A method is provided for coating a substrate, in particular a fiber reinforced plastic component, a protective layer being applied, with preference by means of thermal spraying, to a non-cured resin film applied to a release film, and subsequently, after removal of the release film, the resin film being applied to the substrate and cured.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 1, 2007
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2017
    Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS GMBH
    Inventors: Rainer Kocik, Peter Knepper, Thomas Warda
  • Publication number: 20110256414
    Abstract: In a method for coating a fibre composite component for an aircraft or spacecraft, a surface layer of the fibre composite component, which surface layer has spacing from the fibres introduced in the fibre composite component for the protection thereof, is pretreated, at least in portions to form a primer coat; at least one functional coat is then applied to the formed primer coat. A corresponding fibre composite component comprises at least one functional coat which is applied to a primer coat.

  • Patent number: 5618357
    Abstract: A solder material that is especially suitable for the fluxless hard soldering of aluminum-based components consists of an aluminum-based alloy that especially contains about 10 to 50 wt. % of germanium, about 1 to 12 wt. % of silicon, about 0.1 to 3 wt. % of magnesium, and about 0.1 to 3 wt. % of indium. The solder material is useful at soldering temperatures in the range from 424.degree. to about 600.degree. C., and is therefore especially suitable for the fluxless hard soldering of components made of precipitation-hardened high-strength aluminum-based materials.
