Abstract

Surfaces of fabricated structures are protected from damage by impacting particulates by a coating of hard material formed as a mass of thin flexible filaments having root ends secured to the surface and free portions which can flex and overlap to form a resilient cushioning mat which resembles hair or fur. The filamentary coating covers the underlying surface with hard abrasion resistance material while also being compliant and capable of local accommodation to particle impacts. The coating can also function as thermal and/or acoustical insulation and has a friction reducing effect. 11 figs.

Anti-abrasion protection with highly organized materials. [Carbon fiber lined PVC pipe used in oil shale retorts]

Technical Report Steele, W A ; Leider, H R ; Mohr, P B

Abrasion and impact resistance are a prime requirement for many materials applications. To best protect plastic or metal-based composites from abrasion and impact, a surface coating that is simultaneously very hard and highly yielding is necessary. Both these requirements can be met by a dense pattern of emergent fibers or high L/D ratios, well rooted but with one end free, i.e., hair. A covering of such hair, with fibers long enough to accommodate themselves to impacting objects, will give substantial protection against impact or particle abrasion. 2 figs.

A novel approach to abrasion resistance

Conference Steele, W A ; Mohr, P B ; Leider, H R ; ...

The high abrasion and impact loads characteristic of many technologies require frequent maintenance or special materials. Conventional approaches to protection have used either extremely hard coatings or complaint elastomeric coatings. The former are typically ceramic or ceramic-like surfaces produced by direct deposition or by in situ formation by oxidation, carburization or nitriding. Ceramic coatings are very good against abrasion, but are vulnerable to impact damage. Elastomeric coatings have excellent impact resistance and are capable of withstanding deformation; however, they are limited in thermal range and chemical resistance. It is possible to combine the desirable properties of both types by usingmore »« less
Abrasion and impact resistant coatings. Quarterly report

Technical Report Hirschfeld, T

We have proven that a layer of reinforcing filaments emerging out of the surface of a composite provides it with substantial protection from abrasion and impact. We have determined the geometrical constraints on fiber diameter, length, root depths, orientation, and packing density required for this protection. Substantial performance has been demonstrated for even incompletely optimized systems. We are in the process of extending this technology to first aluminum and then steel structural metal protection. Pretreatment and assembly methods for such materials have been developed, including at least one suitable for a mass production environment.
