Abstract

A method for forming a diffusion coating on the interior of surface of a hollow object wherein a filament, extending through a hollow object and adjacent to the interior surface of the object, is provided, with a coating material, in a vacuum. An electrical current is then applied to the filament to resistively heat the filament to a temperature sufficient to transfer the coating material from the filament to the interior surface of the object. The filament is electrically isolated from the object while the filament is being resistively heated. Preferably, the filament is provided as a tungsten filament or molybdenum filament. Preferably, the coating materials are selected from the group consisting of Ag, Al, As, Au, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Dy, Er, Eu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hg, In, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni P, Pb, Pd, Pr, S, Sb, Sc, Se, Si, Sn, Sr, Te, Tl, Y, Yb, Zn, and combinations thereof. The invention additionally allows for the formation of nitrides, hydrides, or carbides of all the possible coating materials, where such compounds exist, by providing a partial pressure of nitrogen, hydrogen, hydrocarbons, or combination thereof, within the vacuum.

Apparatus and methods for deposition of materials on interior surfaces of hollow components

Patent Anders, Andre

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to deposition techniques using laser ablation. In one aspect, an optical fiber and target of a material to be deposited on a first region of an interior surface of a hollow component are positioned in the hollow component. A first end of the optical fiber is coupled to a laser system. A second end of the optical fiber is proximate the target. The material is deposited on the first region of the interior surface of the hollow component by directing a first laser pulse from the laser system through the optical fibermore » to impinge on the target. « less

Systems and methods for coating conduit interior surfaces utilizing a thermal spray gun with extension arm

Patent Moore, Karen A.; Zatorski, Raymond A.

Systems and methods for applying a coating to an interior surface of a conduit. In one embodiment, a spray gun configured to apply a coating is attached to an extension arm which may be inserted into the bore of a pipe. The spray gun may be a thermal spray gun adapted to apply a powder coating. An evacuation system may be used to provide a volume area of reduced air pressure for drawing overspray out of the pipe interior during coating. The extension arm as well as the spray gun may be cooled to maintain a consistent temperature in themore » « less

Apparatus and methods for imaging interior surfaces of a tube or the like

Patent Kisner, Roger A.; McIntyre, Timothy J.; Paquit, Vincent C.

An exemplary device includes, on a longitudinal axis, an illumination-light source, an axicon (conic) mirror, an image sensor, and a tilted optical element. The light source provides illumination light propagating forwardly on the axis. The axicon mirror reflects the illumination light radially outward, relative to the axis, to the interior surface of a tube to produce reflected light propagating, from the illuminated interior surface, as imaging light back to the axicon, which reflects the imaging light rearwardly. The image sensor receives at least a portion of the imaging light rearwardly reflected by the axicon mirror. The tilted optical element, situatedmore » « less

Microdevice having interior cavity with high aspect ratio surface features and associated methods of manufacture and use

Patent Morales, Alfredo M [Pleasanton, CA]

A microdevice having interior cavity with high aspect ratio features and ultrasmooth surfaces, and associated method of manufacture and use is described. An LIGA-produced shaped bit is used to contour polish the surface of a sacrificial mandrel. The contoured sacrificial mandrel is subsequently coated with a structural material and the mandrel removed to produce microdevices having micrometer-sized surface features and sub-micrometer RMS surface roughness.
