Abstract:
The present invention relates to a non-aqueous coating composition comprising: 1) 75 to 99 wt. %, preferably 85 to 95 wt. % of a hard urethane(meth)acrylate polymer or oligomer; and 2) 1 to 25 wt. %, preferably 5 to 15 wt. % of a soft unsaturated urethane(meth)acrylate polymer or oligomer containing allophanate groups.
Abstract:
A circuit assembly (34) resistant to high-temperature and high g centrifugal force is disclosed. A printed circuit board (42) is first fabricated from alumina and has conductive traces of said circuit formed thereon by the use of a thick film gold paste. Active and passive components of the circuit assembly are attached to the printed circuit board by means of gold powder diffused under high temperature. Gold wire is used for bonding between the circuit traces and the active components in order to complete the circuit assembly (34). Also, a method for manufacturing a circuit assembly resistant to elevated temperature is disclosed.
Abstract:
A tungsten bronze structured ceramic material as a thermal barrier coating is described wherein the tungsten bronze structured ceramic coating material has the formula AO—BvOw—CyOz where O stands for Oxygen, A stands for a 2+ or a 1+ cation, B stands for a 2+ or 3+ cation and C stands for a 4+ or a 5+ cation. The thermal barrier coating may be applied for gas turbine components.
Abstract:
A ceramic thermal barrier coating (TBC) (18) having first and second layers (20, 22), the second layer (22) having a lower thermal conductivity than the first layer for a given density. The second layer may be formed of a material with anisotropic crystal lattice structure. Voids (24) in at least the first layer (20) make the first layer less dense than the second layer. Grooves (28) are formed in the TBC (18) for thermal strain relief. The grooves may align with fluid streamlines over the TBC. Multiple layers (84, 86, 88) may have respective sets of grooves (90), Preferred failure planes parallel to the coating surface (30) may be formed at different depths (A1, A2, A3) in the thickness of the TBC to stimulate generation of a fresh surface when a portion of the coating fails by spalling. A dense top layer (92) may provide environmental and erosion resistance.

A method for simulating of the thickness of a coating which is placed onto a substrate surface is disclosed. The thickness is simulated using mass conservation principles. In a preferred embodiment at least one reference spray trial is performed, the correlation of a single spray profile to at least one spray process parameter is determined, the single spray profile is simulated using mass conservation principles to an incoming powder jet stream.
Abstract:
In a telemetry system for use in an engine, a circuit structure (34) affixed to a moving part (20) of the engine is disposed for amplifying information sensed about a condition of the part and transmitting the sensed information to a receiver external to the engine. The circuit structure is adapted for the high temperature environment of the engine and includes a differential amplifier (102, 111) having an input for receiving a signal from a sensor (101, 110) disposed on the part. A voltage controlled oscillator (104, 115) with an input coupled to the output of the amplifier produces an oscillatory signal having a frequency representative of the sensed condition. A buffer (105, 116) with an input coupled to the output of the oscillator buffers the oscillatory signal, which is then coupled to an antenna (26) for transmitting the information to the receiver.
Abstract:
A method for generating a motion path for a spray gun for coating a component is disclosed. Path templates for surface segments of the component are defined, the surface is analyzed, a first motion path is generated, a model of the spray profile is simulated, the coating thickness is simulated for the motion path based on the simulated model of the spray profile and the generated first motion path. The simulated coating thickness is compared with tolerances and when the simulated coating thickness does not achieve the tolerances, an adapted motion path is generated. The coating thickness is simulated for the motion path based on the simulated model of the spray profile and the generated adapted motion path. Repeating the comparing, the motion path generation, and the simulation of the coating thickness based on the generated adapted motion path until the simulated coating thickness achieves the tolerances.
