Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for bonding a layer of coating material onto a subate with minimal bulk heating of the substrate. A pulsed electron beam generator is used to produce high energy electrons at the beginning of the pulse and a larger number of lower energy electrons at the end of the pulse. A thin sacrificial or ablative layer of an easily-vaporized material such as tin is placed on top the coating. The high energy electrons penetrate through the ablative and coating layers. The ablative layer is heated to a molten state, causing it to vaporize. The ablation process generates a force on the coating layer which drives it into the substrate.
