Development of Actuators for Repairing Cracks by Coating W Wires with Reactive Multilayers

The aim of this research work was to optimize the coating of tungsten wires with reactive multilayer thin films and promote an exothermic self-propagating reaction. The ultimate goal is to use this heat to liquify low melting temperature materials, and thus block crack propagation in metallic materi...
