NON-AQUEOUS ALUMINUM ANODIZING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326383 titled 'NON-AQUEOUS ALUMINUM ANODIZING
The abstract describes a component for an electronic device that includes a part with a first metal and a second metal diffusion bonded to the first metal. The first metal is aluminum, and the second metal is different from the first metal. A porous aluminum oxide layer overlies a portion of the first metal and is located adjacent to the interface between the first metal and the second metal. Additionally, a non-metallic material is bonded to the part and extends into pores defined by the porous aluminum oxide layer.
- The component includes a part with a first metal (aluminum) and a second metal diffusion bonded to it.
- A porous aluminum oxide layer covers a portion of the first metal and is located near the interface between the first and second metals.
- A non-metallic material is bonded to the part and extends into the pores defined by the porous aluminum oxide layer.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. - It may find applications in aerospace and automotive industries for lightweight and durable components.
Problems Solved: - Provides a strong bond between different metals in electronic components. - Enhances the durability and reliability of electronic devices.
Benefits: - Improved performance and longevity of electronic devices. - Enables the use of different metals in component design for specific functionalities.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Metal Bonding Component for Electronic Devices This technology can be utilized in the manufacturing of electronic devices to improve their performance and reliability. It has the potential to impact various industries such as consumer electronics, aerospace, and automotive.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the porous aluminum oxide layer contribute to the bonding of different metals? 2. What are the specific advantages of using a non-metallic material in this component design?
Original Abstract Submitted
a component for an electronic device can include a part including a first metal and a second metal diffusion bonded to the first metal. the first metal can be aluminum and the second metal can be different from the first metal. a porous aluminum oxide layer can overlie a portion of the first metal and can be disposed adjacent to an interface between the first metal and the second metal. the component can further include a non-metallic material bonded to the part and extending into pores defined by the porous aluminum oxide layer.
