Technology Offers Ability to Grow Nanolaminate Structures

This growth can take place on any surface or on a complex object, with the coating conforming to the geometry of an objects’ interiors and exteriors.

“In that regard, you don’t have to see the surface or get a spray gun directly in front of it,” said Lomasney. “This fact is really compelling when you compare other methods of applying nano-coatings such as laser cladding or spray painting, where you have issues with accessibility of complex geometry.”

Conventional bulk metal production technology doesn’t afford the ability to produce laminated architectures, said Lomasney.

“This is true in most cases, unless the manufacturer is willing to put in a lot of energy, which becomes cost-prohibitive.”
