Solid state deposition for cosmetic enhancement of anodized friction stir processed parts |
摘要 |
The described embodiments relate generally to methods to enhance cosmetic surfaces of friction stir processed parts. More specifically a method for applying cold spray over a weld line generated by the friction stir processing is disclosed. Methods are also disclosed for blending the cold spray applied over the weld line in with a cosmetic surface portion of friction stir processed parts. In some embodiments cold spray can be used to on its own to create a cosmetic join between various parts. |

1. A method using a plurality of particles to form a joint that combines a first substrate with a second substrate, the method comprising:
friction stir welding the first substrate with the second substrate at an interface region, the friction stir welding forming a weld line within the interface region; machining a channel in the interface region that includes the weld line and that extends into the first and second substrates; and applying a plurality of particles to form a coating that fills the channel, the plurality of particles formed from a material such that the plurality of particles deform upon impact. |
