  • Metallic Mesh and Lightning Strike Protection System
    Publication number: 20130271891
    Abstract: A lightning strike protection material has a metallic substrate and a metallic coating atop the substrate. The material may be integrated with a structural layer, the metallic coating composition being less reactive with material of the structural layer than is the composition of the metallic substrate.

  • LAYERED STRUCTURE WITH OUTER LIGHTNING PROTECTION SURFACE
    Publication number: 20100108342
    Abstract: An improved layered structure with an outer lightning protection surface is provided. The layered structure may include an expanded metal foil processed to reduce the number, severity, or the number and severity of stress concentration sites, thereby reducing micro-crack initiation sites. Chemical etching, mechanical micro-deburring processes, or both may be used to address stress concentration sites on the expanded metal foil.

  • ELECTRODE CORE PLATE METHOD AND APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20130309579
    Abstract: The invention includes battery electrode core plates utilizing an expanded foil processed to reduce protrusions on the strands of the expanded foil. Expanded foils may be metal or metal-coated plastic. Reducing or eliminating protrusions on the expanded foil mitigate the risk of internal shorts due to protrusion cross-over or “hot spots.” Protrusion reduction may be achieved using chemical etching via various chemical or electrochemical processes that preferentially free or remove material from burrs and free chads, in addition to removing material from sharp edges of the expanded foil.
