Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for forming a reinforced metallic structure includes providing a tool having a formation surface corresponding to a desired structure shape of the reinforced metallic structure. The method also includes positioning a plurality of fibers on the formation surface of the tool. The method also includes depositing a layer of material on the plurality of fibers using a cold-spray technique. The method also includes removing the layer of material with the plurality of fibers from the tool to create the reinforced metallic structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A reinforced metallic structure formed by: applying a metallic fiber interface coating circumferentially around each of a plurality of fibers, the metallic fiber interface coating including a metal; positioning the plurality of fibers on a formation surface of a tool after applying the metallic fiber interface coating, the formation surface corresponding to a desired structure shape of the reinforced metallic structure; depositing a layer of metal material on a first side the plurality of fibers using a cold-spray technique; and removing the layer of metal material with the plurality of fibers from the tool to create the reinforced metallic structure. 2. The reinforced metallic structure of claim 1 , further comprising: depositing a base layer of metal material on the formation surface of the tool using the cold-spray technique prior to positioning the plurality of fibers on the formation surface. 3. The reinforced metallic structure of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fibers on the formation surface of the tool include a first group of the plurality of fibers oriented in a direction parallel to each other. 4. The reinforced metallic structure of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of fibers on the formation surface of the tool include a second group of the plurality of fibers oriented parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first group of the plurality of fibers. 5. The reinforced metallic structure of claim 1 , further comprising: flipping the reinforced metallic structure so a second side of the plurality of fibers faces a cold-spray applicator; and applying a second layer of metal material to the second side of the plurality of fibers.
