Abstract:
Brake disks with integrated heat sink are provided. Brake disk includes a fiber-reinforced composite material and an encapsulated heat sink material impregnated into the fiber-reinforced composite material. The encapsulated heat sink material comprises a heat sink material encapsulated within a silicon-containing encapsulation layer. Methods for manufacturing the brake disk with integrated heat sink and methods for producing the encapsulated heat sink material are also provided.
Abstract:
A method of disposing a corrosion resistant system to a substrate may comprise applying a plating material to the substrate; forming a chemical conversion coating solution by combining a solvent, at least one corrosion inhibitive cation comprising at least one of zinc, calcium, strontium, magnesium, or aluminum, at least one corrosion inhibitive anion comprising at least one of phosphate, molybdate, or silicate, and a complexing agent; and applying the chemical conversion coating solution to the plating material on the substrate.

Abstract:
A drive shaft for transferring torque including a tubular insert extending along an axis and defining a first layer of the drive shaft including at least one straight portion and at least one undulation, wherein the tubular insert includes a first material having a first deformation temperature, and a polymeric tubular covering defining a second layer of the drive shaft surrounding the tubular insert including a second material having a deformation temperature lower than the deformation temperature of the first material, wherein the covering includes at least one straight portion adjacent to the straight portion of the tubular insert and at least one undulation adjacent to the at least one undulation of the tubular insert.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides assemblies, systems and methods of quality control and service inspection for metallic electro-mechanical components. More particularly, the present disclosure provides assemblies, systems and methods of quality control and service inspection for metallic electro-mechanical components (e.g., stator components) utilizing fluorescent agents. The present disclosure provides both (i) surface/assembly designs, and (ii) methods of their inspection. In the present disclosure, fluorescent agents can be mixed with protective and/or added layers to serve as bright contrast media under a light source (e.g., ultraviolet (“UV”) light source). It is noted that in a case of imperfect coating or service corrosion, gaps in reflection can serve as clear indications of either inadequate quality or excessive corrosion-driven degradation of the components.
Abstract:
A composite tube may include a body having a longitudinal centerline axis and an end portion having a tapered section and an end rim. At least one of a radially outward edge and a radially inward edge of the end rim may be non-circular. The end rim may be circumferentially continuous, and the tapered section may diverge radially outward in a direction from the body to the end rim. A joint assembly may include a support wedge that at least partially engages at least one of a radially inward surface of the end portion and a radially outward surface of the end portion of the composite tube.
