According to one embodiment of this disclosure, a coating includes a plurality of elongated reinforcing materials. The coating includes a bond coat in which a first portion of a first elongated reinforcing material is embedded. The coating further includes a ceramic coat adjacent the bond coat in which a second portion of the first elongated reinforcing material is embedded.

The present invention relates to a process for producing a peelable coating on metallic substrates, which comprises (1) providing a metallic substrate, (2) applying a peelable lacquer to the metallic substrate, and (3) curing the peelable lacquer applied, in which, the peelable lacquer comprises microhollow spheres. The present invention also relates to a process for the chemical milling of metallic substrates.

A build piece is made from a build plan by an additive metal deposition process, the build plan created from a three dimensional definition of a desired part, the build plan having a first set of dimensions corresponding to the desired part and includes a support structure. The build piece is to a chemical etchant such that the support structure is removed from the build piece and the dimensions of the build piece corresponding to the desired part are reduced to a second set of dimensions.

Exposing nitinol to a shape setting temperature while the nitinol is in an unstrained or minimally strained condition. The nitinol is then substantially deformed in shape while at elevated temperature. After deformation, the nitinol remains at the elevated temperature for a time to shape set the material. The nitinol is then returned to approximately room temperature 20? C. by means of water quenching or air cooling for example.

A metal mask substrate includes a metal obverse surface configured such that a resist is placed on the obverse surface. The obverse surface has a three-dimensional surface roughness Sa of less than or equal to 0.11 ?m. The obverse surface also has a three-dimensional surface roughness Sz of less than or equal to 3.17 ?m.

A method for forming a cutting tool includes masking a metal base with one or more masks, the one or more masks including at least one variable permeability mask, and chemically etching the masked metal base to form a blade of the cutting tool.
