Abstract
A method of making a carbon allotrope heater element for ice protection includes imparting the heater element with a wetting layer, adding a metallic element, which is melted and wets the wetting layer such that a bus bar attachment is made on at least a portion of the carbon allotrope heater element.
Claims16
A method of making a conformal electrical connection on a carbon allotrope heater element comprising:
- applying a wetting agent to a portion of the carbon allotrope heater element to create a wetting layer;
- introducing a metallic material onto the portion of the carbon allotrope heater element with the wetting layer;
- and
- melting the metallic material such that it wets the portion of the carbon allotrope heater element with the wetting layer.
1 more element
A carbon allotrope heater element comprising:
- a carbon allotrope material;
- and
- a metallic coating on a portion of the carbon allotrope material, the metallic coating bonded to the carbon allotrope material by a wetting layer.
