LDRD Ending Project Review: Polymer-Spray Coating Interfaces (Project 215984) [Slides]
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
The ability to surface engineer structures or components using coatings made by the thermal spray processes is very common practice and offers great design flexibility with traditional structure metallic substrates (e.g., Al, Steel, Ti). However, the joining of high melting temperature materials to a polymeric substrate presents a problem due to the melt deposition coating formation mechanism locally subjecting the polymer substrate to temperatures exceeding the limits of the polymer. Thus, it was desired to modify the surface of a polymer so that a thin metallic film could be robustly bonded to the polymer and act as a heat sink for impinging molten droplets from a thermal spray process and allow a thick film coating to be built upon the polymer.
