Abstract

Claims (14)

1. A method of manufacturing an aerospace component, the method comprising:

reflecting a laser beam from a laser source via a reflective component;

translating a first component relative to a second component, wherein the first component comprises at least one of the laser source, the reflective component, or a polymeric component, and the second component comprises another of the laser source, the reflective component, or the polymeric component;

responsive to the translating, laser scribing an internal surface of the polymeric component in response to reflecting the laser beam, the polymeric component comprising a pipe, the internal surface comprising an inner diameter surface of the pipe;

forming a laser induced graphene on the internal surface in response to laser scribing the internal surface, the laser induced graphene comprising a porous graphene; and

bonding a metallic layer to the laser induced graphene.

2. The method of manufacture of claim 1 , wherein bonding the metallic layer includes electroplating.

3. The method of manufacture of claim 1 , wherein the laser beam includes a gas mixture comprising carbon dioxide.

4. The method of manufacture of claim 3 , wherein the gas mixture further comprises helium and nitrogen.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein an average wavelength of the laser beam is between 10 micrometers and 11 micrometers.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein bonding the metallic layer further comprises electrically coupling an anode having a metallic material to a positive terminal of a power source, coupling the laser induced graphene to a negative terminal of the power source, disposing the anode and the polymeric component in an electrolyte solution, and supplying a current via the power source.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the metallic layer comprises at least one of nickel, copper, chromium, gold, zinc, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, tin, cadmium, aluminum, cobalt, lead, tungsten, zinc-nickel, nickel phosphorus, and brass.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising bonding a second metallic layer to the metallic layer.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the metallic layer is a different material than the second metallic layer.
