MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A PROFILE RAIL, PROFILE RAIL OBTAINABLE THEREBY, MOUNTING SYSTEM AND VEHICLE EQUIPPED THEREWITH AND USE OF THE PROFILE RAIL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240043125 titled 'MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A PROFILE RAIL, PROFILE RAIL OBTAINABLE THEREBY, MOUNTING SYSTEM AND VEHICLE EQUIPPED THEREWITH AND USE OF THE PROFILE RAIL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for manufacturing a profile rail used in the floor of a vehicle. The profile rail consists of a base made of a first material and a top portion made of a second material that is harder and/or less corrosive than the first material. The method involves providing the base made of the first material, coating the top portion of the base with the second material using a cold spray process, and machining the coating to create a specific surface structure.

  • The profile rail is made of two different materials, with the top portion being harder and/or less corrosive than the base.
  • The second material is applied to the top portion of the base using a cold spray process.
  • The coating on the top portion is machined to create a predefined surface structure.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry: The profile rail can be used in the floor of vehicles to provide a durable and corrosion-resistant surface.
  • Transportation industry: The profile rail can be used in trains, buses, and other vehicles to enhance the longevity and performance of the floor.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Corrosion resistance: The use of a second material that is less corrosive helps prevent damage to the profile rail, increasing its lifespan.
  • Durability: The harder second material provides enhanced durability, making the profile rail suitable for heavy-duty applications.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Extended lifespan: The combination of materials and surface structure increases the longevity of the profile rail, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
  • Improved performance: The profile rail's resistance to corrosion and durability contribute to its overall performance, ensuring a reliable and safe flooring solution for vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for manufacturing a profile rail including a base made of a first material and a top portion to be exposed during use of the profile rail in the floor of a vehicle including a second material that is harder and/or less corrosive as the first material. the method includes the steps of providing the base made of the first material, coating at least the top portion of the base with the second material by a cold spray process, and machining the coating to provide a predefined surface structure of the top portion.
