  • INCREASING ANTI-CORROSION THROUGH NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20190169443
    Abstract: A method of increasing corrosion resistance without leveraging toxic hexavalent chromium uses partially oxidized graphene particles mixed into primer applied on metallic alloy surfaces. Graphene is effective as an anti-corrosion primer additive because it acts as a physical barrier and has electrochemical properties that change potentials needed to induce corrosion.

  • AIR BEARING
    Publication number: 20190120291
    Abstract: An air bearing according to an example of the present disclosure includes a stationary member and a shaft with a flange configured to rotate with respect to the stationary member, and at least one of the flange and the shaft have a tungsten-carbide-based coating. An alternative air bearing and a method of making an air bearing are also disclosed.

  • LAMINAR FLOW COATING FOR AERODYNAMIC SURFACES
    Publication number: 20190062569
    Abstract: A laminar flow coating for aerodynamic surfaces is provided. The laminar flow coating may comprise a base composition, such as an epoxy composition, a fluoropolyurethane composition, or a polyurethane composition. A filler composition may be dispersed within the base composition. The filler composition may comprise at least one of a nanomaterial composition or a microfiller composition. The filler composition may be doped with a hydrophobic surface modifier prior to being dispersed within the base composition.

  • CORROSION PROTECTION VIA NANOMATERIALS
    Publication number: 20180274107
    Abstract: A method for increasing corrosion resistance of metallic substrates without use of hexavalent chromium includes chemically treating the substrate to create an oxide layer, mixing nanoclay particles into a non-chromate primer, applying the primer to the oxide layer of the substrate, and applying a topcoat to the primer opposite the oxide layer.

  • BEARING ASSEMBLY WITH SURFACE LAYER
    Publication number: 20180195551
    Abstract: A bearing assembly is disclosed that includes a first component with a first bearing surface, and a second component with a second bearing surface. A fluid is disposed between the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface supporting the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface in a non-contact rotational relationship. The first bearing surface, or the second bearing surface, or both the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface include a surface layer with solid lubricant 2D nanoparticles in a matrix.

  • OXIDATION PROTECTION FOR CARBON-CARBON COMPOSITES
    Publication number: 20180134628
    Abstract: The method may include forming fibers with a silicon-based sizing, forming a fibrous preform from the fibers, forming a silicon dioxide coating around the fibers, carbonizing the fibrous preform, and densifying the fibrous preform. In various embodiments, forming the fibers with the silicon-based sizing includes utilizing a mass of the silicon-based sizing that is at least 1.0% of a mass of the fibers.
