An electrically conductive, plasma-resistant member adapted for exposure to a halogen-based gas plasma atmosphere includes a substrate having formed on at least part of a region thereof to be exposed to the plasma a thermal spray coating composed of yttrium metal or yttrium metal in admixture with yttrium oxide and/or yttrium fluoride so as to confer electrical conductivity. Because the member is conductive and has an improved erosion resistance to halogen-based corrosive gases or plasmas thereof, particle contamination due to plasma etching when used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment or flat panel display manufacturing equipment can be suppressed.

Heat dissipation and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for an electronic device having an enclosure. An interior surface of the enclosure is covered with a conformal metallic layer which, as disposed in thermal adjacency with one or more heat-generating electronic components or other sources contained within the enclosure, may provide both thermal dissipation and EMI shielding for the device. The layer may be sprayed onto the interior surface in a molten state and solidified to form a self-adherent coating.

The invention relates to a strengthening coating of the surface of an annealing furnace roller and a preparation method thereof. The preparation of the strengthening coating on the surface of a roller base is performed by a selected hot-spray method. The strengthening coating comprises a bonded coating, a working coating and a transition coating between the bonded coating and the working coating. The proportion of alloy and ceramic in every coating is changed according to gradient, which means that the proportion of alloy is decreased gradually from inner to outer in every coating; while the proportion of ceramic is increased gradually and at last a gradient coating is formed. The invention not only ensures the working coating to have good antioxidation, abrasion resisting and anti- nodulation performances, but also improves the binding performance of strengthening coating and the roller base and improves the cohesion binding performance of the coating inner. Under the function of the strengthening coating of the annealing furnace roller surface made by the method of the invention, the service life of the furnace roller can be prolonged and the using cost and repairing cost can be decreased.

A method for deposition of a metal layer onto plastic materials is disclosed. The method allows for formation of long length strain gauges and deposition of high melting temperature metals onto plastic materials. The method comprises initially depositing a pattern of powder particles onto the plastic material using a kinetic spray process. Then the high melting temperature metal layer is deposited using a thermal spray process. The metal layer only adheres to the pattern of the powder particles and not to the plastic substrate. To form a stain gauge the powder particles are deposited in a discontinuous non-electrically conductive density on the plastic material. Then a metal layer is deposited using a thermal spray process and a metal having a variable resistance. The metal forms a continuous and electrically conductive pathway having a resistance that changes as stress is applied to the substrate.
