  • Publication number: 20240085160
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of making fragmentation casings for bombs and warheads. Particularly, cold spray methods are used. A layer or layers of metal, metal alloy, and optional other materials are deposited by cold spray application of cold spray materials to preform/mandrel, having patterned structures to define fragmentation points (e.g., stress concentrators) in a fragmentation casing formed on the preform/mandrel via cold spray. In addition to such cold spray processes for forming a fragmentation casing, this disclosure relates to the preform/mandrels used as well as the resultant fragmentation casing formed via cold spray.

  • Patent number: 11090717
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for processing a powder alloy to improve its microstructure. The methods for processing the powder alloy can include introducing the powder alloy into a powder vessel having an inert atmosphere, uniformly heat treating the powder alloy inside the powder vessel at its solutionizing temperature, and cooling the heat treated powder alloy at a rate of at least 5° C./s to form treated particles. The treated particles obtained from the methods and apparatuses disclosed herein can be used in any suitable manufacturing process, such as in cold gas dynamic spray.

  • Patent number: 4132516
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for repairing damage to a glass or plastic surface such as a safety glass windshield. The apparatus includes a substantially flat body member made of a flexible or rigid and transparent material. A disposable resilient intermediate member such as a paper product is provided with a generally central cut out region. The intermediate member is glued between the glass surface and the body member forming a cavity in the cut out region defined by the body member, the intermediate member and the glass surface. Access conduit through the body member enables insertion of a repair material into the cavity. A compressor and a vacuum pump are respectively connected by a first and a second valve to the access conduit for subsequently applying alternate vacuum and pressure to force the repair material into the damage in the glass surface. The intermediate member may then be removed from the glass surface.
