Abstract: Metal-coated polymer articles containing structural substantially porosity-free, fine-grained and/or amorphous metallic coatings/layers optionally containing solid particulates dispersed therein on polymer substrates, are disclosed. The substantially porosity-free metallic coatings/layers/patches are applied to polymer or polymer composite substrates to provide, enhance or restore vacuum/pressure integrity and fluid sealing functions. Due to the excellent adhesion between the metallic coating and the polymer article satisfactory thermal cycling performance is achieved. The invention can also be employed as a repair/refurbishment technique. The fine-grained and/or amorphous metallic coatings are particularly suited for strong and lightweight articles, precision molds, sporting goods, aerospace and automotive parts and other components exposed to thermal cycling and stress created by erosion and impact damage.

Abstract: Fine-grained (average grain size 1nm to 1,000nm) metallic coatings optionally containing solid particulates dispersed therein are disclosed. The fine- grained metallic materials are significantly harder and stronger than conventional coatings of the same chemical composition due to Hall-Petch strengthening and have low linear coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs). The invention provides means for matching the CTE of the fine-grained metallic coating to the one of the substrate by adjusting the composition of the alloy and/or by varying the chemistry and volume fraction of particulates embedded in the coating. The fine-grained metallic coatings are particularly suited for strong and lightweight articles, precision molds, sporting goods, automotive parts and components exposed to thermal cycling. The low CTEs and the ability to match the CTEs of the fine-grained metallic coatings with the CTEs of the substrate minimize dimensional changes during thermal cycling and prevent premature failure.

Abstract: Articles for automotive, aerospace, manufacturing and defence industry applications including shafts or tubes used, for example, as golf club shaft s, ski and hiking poles, fishing rods or bicycle frames, skate blades and snowboards are at least partially coated with an electrodeposited metal, met al alloy or metal matrix composite coating layer. The coating layer having a quasi-isotropic microstructure, a thickness of higher than 30~m and an avera ge grain size between 0.004~m and 10~m. The coating layer provides articles of high resilience, high yield strength, scratch and wear resistance and hardness, and appealing appearance.

Abstract: A process for in situ electroforming a structural reinforcing layer of selected metallic material for repairing an external surface area of a degraded section of metallic workpieces, especially of tubes and tube sections, is described. Preferably, the metal layer coatings are made of fine-grained metals, metal alloys or metal matrix composites. The plating system can be used on straight tubes, tube joints to different diameter tubes or face plates, tube elbows and other complex shapes encountered in piping systems. A suitable apparatus is assembled on or near the degraded site and is sealed in place to form the plating cell. Also described is a process for plating "patches" onto degraded areas by selective plating including brush plating.

Abstract: Se describen los artículos poliméricos con chapa metálica que contienen recubrimientos metálicos de grano fino y/o amorfos, estructurales/capas que contienen opcionalmente partículas sólidas dispersas en éste. Los recubrimientos metálicos de grano fino y/o amorfos son particularmente adecuados para artículos fuertes y de peso ligero, moldes de precisión, artículos deportivos, partes automovilísticas y componentes expuestos a los ciclos térmicos, aunque el coeficiente de expansión térmica lineal (CLTE) de la capa metálica y el sustrato no sean similares. La interfase entre la capa metálica y el polímero es adecuadamente pretratada para resistir los ciclos térmicos sin falla.

Abstract: Se describen los recubrimientos metalicos de grano fino (tamano de grano promedio de 1 nm hasta 1,000 nm) que contienen opcionalmente particulados solidos dispersados en estos. Los materiales metalicos de grano fino son significativamente mas duros y mas fuertes que los recubrimientos convencionales de la misma composicion quimica, debido al reforzamiento de may-Petch, y tienen bajos coeficientes lineales de expansion termica (CTEs). La invencion proporciona los medios para igualar el CTE del recubrimiento metalico de grano fino a uno del sustrato, a aquel del sustrato, mediante el ajuste de la composicion de la aleacion y/o, mediante la variacion de la quimica y la fraccion volumetrica de los particulados incrustados en el recubrimiento. Los recubrimientos metalicos de grano fino son particularmente adecuados para articulos fuertes y de peso ligero, moldes de precision, articulos deportivos, partes automovilisticas y componentes expuestos al ciclo termico. Los bajos CTEs y la habilidad para igualar los CTEs de los recubrimientos metalicos de grano fino con los CTEs del sustrato, reducen al minimo los cambios dimensionales durante el ciclo termico y previenen la falla prematura.
