Arc-Sprayed Metals for Structural Electromagnetic Shielding.

Abstract

Electromagnetic shielding tests of small samples (2 ft by 4 ft or 0.61 m by 1.22 m) of arc-sprayed metals on typical construction materials were conducted to determine the feasibility of using arc-spray technology to provide a low-cost method of shielded construction. Test results indicate that such panels can provide significant shielding and that this technology may be useful for applications having a low shielding requirement. In an additional study, it was determined that arc-spraying of leaky seams of conventional modular shielded construction can provide increased electromagnetic shielding. (Author)
