| 20110027496 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A COATING THROUGH COLD GAS SPRAYING - The embodiments include a method for producing a coating through cold gas spraying. In the process, particles according to the embodiments are used which contain a photocatalytic material. In order to improve the effect of this photocatalytic material (such as titanium dioxide), a reactive gas can be added to the cold gas stream, the reactive gas being activated by a radiation source not shown, for example by UV light, on the surface of the coating that forms. This makes it possible to, for example, dose titanium dioxide with nitrogen. This allows the production of in situ layers having advantageously high catalytic effectiveness. The use of cold gas spraying has the additional advantage in that the coating can be designed to contain pores that enlarge the surface available for catalysis. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110111207 | COMPONENT WITH A SELF-HEALING SURFACE LAYER, SELF-HEALING ENAMEL OR COATING POWDER WITH SELF-HEALING CHARACTERISTICS - A component with a self-healing surface layer, a self-healing enamel and a coating powder are disclosed. A self-healing is guaranteed by a reactive substance, which is encased in sheathed particles. Only damage to the enamel coating leads to a destruction of the coating, preferably under the influence of a catalytic material, so that the encased fluid enamel can emerge. Under the effects of UV light the fluid enamel cures and seals the crack thus occurring. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110135840 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A COMPONENT THROUGH SELECTIVE LASER MELTING AND PROCESS CHAMBER SUITABLE THEREFOR - A component is produced through selective laser melting of a powder material in a process chamber using a laser which is also used for producing coating areas of the component. The coating areas have a composition that differs from the composition of the powder material. This is accomplished by intermittently introducing a reactive gas that reacts with the powder material or that produces a material on the component from the precursors present in the reactive gas. In the process chamber, a feed line may be provided for introducing the reactive gas close to the laser. | 06-09-2011 |
