Patent number: 11577275Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for applying a multi-colored coating to a composite structure comprising applying a first co-curable film layer comprising a first color marking to a composite tool, applying a second co-curable film layer comprising a second color marking over the composite tool and at least partially over the first co-curable film layer to create a lay-up of a multi-colored marking, applying a composite structure over the lay-up of the multi-colored marking, and curing the lay-up of the multi-colored marking and the composite structure in a single curing step to create a cured multi-colored coating on the composite structure. A multi-colored coating for marking a composite structure and an aircraft part having a multi-colored marking are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Mark R. Brei, Terrell D. Riley, Kevin D. Gordon, Meredith P. Nix

Patent number: 11161334Abstract: Methods for placing an indicia on a composite structure generally include printing the indicia on a first film surface of a coating film, with the coating film being in a partially cured state at the time the printing the indicia is performed, and positioning the coating film on a partially cured composite structure such that a second film surface of the coating film faces and is positioned against a surface of the composite structure, with the second film surface being opposite the first film surface. Finally, the coating film and the composite structure may then be co-cured. Systems for printing an indicia on a composite structure generally include the coating film, a printer configured to print the indicia on the first film surface of the coating film, a securement configured to secure the coating film during printing, and a curing device for co-curing the coating film and the composite structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2020Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Anthony M. Westren, Mark Richard Brei, Thomas G. Lawton, Terrell D. Riley, Caitlin Elizabeth Kerr

Publication number: 20200198338Abstract: A method of treating a contoured surface with surface treatment layer includes applying a surface preparation layer along the contoured surface and applying a basecoat layer on top of the surface preparation layer. The method further includes stabilizing the basecoat layer to prepare a basecoat surface along the basecoat layer for one or more subsequent layers of the surface treatment coating and jetting a decorative livery layer along the contoured surface using one or more ink jet print heads. The method further includes applying an adhesion promoter on top of the decorative livery layer and stabilizing the adhesion promoter layer to produce a desired bonding surface along the adhesion promoter layer. Additionally, the method includes applying a clear coat layer to cover the underlying decorative livery layer, the basecoat layer and the surface preparation layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2018Publication date: June 25, 2020Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Terrell D. Riley, Alexandra E. Corona, Bennett M. Moriarty, Ryan M. Trumbo, Kjersta L. Larson-Smith, Jill E. Seebergh
