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.
