The aluminum extrusion is formed with sufficient cross sectional properties and features such as an internal web to help prevent undesirable collapses under injection or compression molding pressures. This improves part geometry and strength while minimizing weight. A plurality of protrusions and/or local deformations on an outer wall of the extrusion can be used to create strong mechanical interface to the plastic. Localized deformations can result from a combination of the applied plastic pressure under injection or compression molding pressures and the proximity of outer gaps of the internal web structure. A process of making the plastic overmold aluminum extrusion includes inserting at least one aluminum extrusion into a mold without mandrels and delivering plastic forming the plastic overmold.

  • Patent number: 8956718
    Abstract: Substantially transparent conductor layers in touch sensing systems may be formed by forming a barrier layer between an organic layer and a substantially transparent conductive layer. For example, a barrier layer can be formed over the organic layer, and the transparent conductor layer can be formed over the barrier layer. The barrier layer can reduce or prevent outgassing of the organic layer, to help increase the quality of the transparent conductor layer. In another example, a combination layer of two different types of a transparent conductor may be formed over the organic layer by forming a barrier layer of the transparent conductor, and forming a second layer of the transparent conductor on the barrier layer. Outgassing that can occur when forming the barrier layer can cause the transparent conductor of the barrier layer to be of lower-quality, but can result in a higher-quality transparent conductor of the second layer.

  • Publication number: 20150030826
    Abstract: A method for forming a textured bond coat surface (48) for a thermal barrier coating system (44) of a gas turbine component (34). The method includes selectively melting portions of a layer of alloy particles (16) with a patterned energy beam (20) to form successive layers of alloy material (16?, 16?) until a desired surface geometric feature (26) is achieved. The energy beam pattern may be indexed between layers to form a protruding undercut (28) in the geometric feature. The patterned energy beam may be formed by directing laser energy from a diode laser (30) through a cartridge filter (32). Particles of a flux material (18) may be melted along with the alloy particles to form a protective layer of slag (22) over the melted and cooling alloy material.
