THE COATING OF ALUMINUM WITH PLASTICS BY THE FLUIDIZED-BED AND ELECTROSTATIC POWDER TECHNIQUES,

Abstract

The paper describes plastic powder coating of metal objects, particularly aluminum, by the fluidized-bed and electrostatic powder techniques. It points out the importance of control of process parameters such as preheat and postheat temperatures and dwell times, particle size and particle size distribution, and immersion time. Recent developments in coating powders are discussed. Also noted are the particular attributes of aluminum with regard to fusion powder coating. A number of typical applications are described, and the limitations of the fluidized-bed process are noted. (Author)
