Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method of coating a substrate with a material to make it anti-microbial. The method involves heating the substrate with a laser to make it easier for the material to adhere to the substrate. The coated substrate can then kill or reduce the growth of microbial organisms, making it more resistant to infection. The coating is made with a material called silver, which is effective at preventing the growth of microbes.

Problems solved by technology

Products with tailored properties and / or varying compositions are difficult to manufacture.

Abstract

Various embodiments of multi-component products are provided herein, with specific reference to methods of making the same. In some embodiments, the present invention is a method that includes feeding a heated gas to a powder feeder containing a powder having an element, spraying the powder from the powder feeder through a nozzle onto a surface of a substrate at a sufficient velocity to form a multi-component deposit on the substrate, and directing an energy beam from an energy source at the multi-component deposit to heat the multi-component deposit until the multi-component deposit is fixed to the substrate thereby forming a multi-component alloy coating on the substrate.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of International Patent App. No. PCT / US2018 / 020014, filed Feb. 27, 2018, which claims benefit of U.S. provisional application no. 62 / 464,562, filed Feb. 28, 2017 and claims benefit of U.S. provisional application no. 62 / 464,094, filed Feb. 27, 2017, each of which are herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]Products with tailored properties and / or varying compositions are difficult to manufacture.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0003]Broadly, the present disclosure is directed towards methods of making multi-component alloy products. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed towards methods of making multi-component alloy products and multi-component alloy products having anti-microbial properties.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE[0004]The figures constitute a part of this specification and include illustrative embodiments of the present disclosure and illustrate various objects and fea...
