Assignee:

AK Steel Corporation - Middletown OH

International Classification:

C23C022/00

US Classification:

148243, 148251, 148259, 148262, 427332, 427341, 427656, 428668, 428564, 428457, 4284723, 106813, 516 87

Abstract:

The present invention relates to metallic sheets having an improved antimicrobial property and also related to a method of manufacturing such sheets. More particularly, it relates to the continuous coating on metallic sheets with a resin composition containing antimicrobial additives. The surface of the metallic article is afforded antimicrobial properties by coating a liquid dispersion or solution of fine particles made of an antimicrobial ingredient on the surface of the metallic sheet dispersed in a uniform layer and cured or dried to affix to the metallic surface. The inorganic antibacterial particles are metal component-supporting oxides and zeolite powders. The inorganic antibacterial core particles have at least a primary surface coating of at least one metal or metal compound having antimicrobial properties. Roll coaters apply the coating. The metallic article generally includes sheet articles made of metals, for example, metallic sheets made of stainless steel, conventional steel sheets and aluminum sheets or plate.

US Classification:

428328, 428336, 42742801, 427377

Abstract:

A composite material comprising a metallic substrate and a coating on at least one side of the metallic substrate, wherein the coating comprises an acrylic or styrene-acrylic based polymer and is less than about 0.2 mils thick, wherein the polymer has a molecular weight of 50,000 to 1,000,000, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 50-80 C., and comprises 90-100 wt. % of the total solids in the coating.The method of applying a coating to a metal substrate using a manifold flood and squeegee roll configuration or alternatively roll coater techniques; wherein the roll hardness, shape, pressure and speed are chosen to ensure that the coating composition forms a continuous wet film on the metallic substrate surfaces when the strip travels at up to 600 feet per minute; and the wet film has a uniform thickness of 2 mil (0.002 inch) or less.

US Classification:

428653, 428659, 72362, 295274

Abstract:

A “faux stainless steel” may be produced by processing galvanized carbon steel through a temper mill using textured rolls to develop a “polished” type surface. The galvanized coating is not removed by abrasion but is compressed thereby providing a more uniform substrate than conventional polishing or brushing. The resulting strip may then be coated with an organic film to provide additional appearance and corrosion benefits including anti-fingerprint resistance.

US Classification:

427 46

Abstract:

Zinc or zinc alloy plated steel sheet ready for deep drawing coated with 1-5 gm/m. sup. 2 of a dry, tack free continuous thermoplastic acrylic coating. The coating is formed by inductively heating the sheet to a temperature of about 149. degree. -246. degree. C. for no more than 10 seconds after being roll coated with a continuous liquid film of an aqueous solution including an acrylic polymer. The acrylic coating forms a protective film that is impervious to moisture, oil, and dirt, is able to be welded and adhesively bonded and possesses sufficient toughness and lubricity to allow deformation of the sheet without additional external lubricant. A deep drawn article formed from the sheet has enhanced painting characteristics after the acrylic coating is removed and the article is coated with a phosphate coating.

Assignee:

Armco Steel Company, L.P. - Middletown OH

International Classification:

B05D 302

US Classification:

427522

Abstract:

A bake hardenable steel sheet ready for deep drawing is coated on at least one side with a continuous chromium bearing epoxy coating. The sheet is roll coated with continuous liquid film containing at least 2 wt. % of a water dispersible or emulsifiable epoxy resin or a mixture of resins containing the epoxy resin, at least 0. 5 wt. % of a chromium compound and 25-97 wt. % of water. The liquid coated sheet is induction heated at a temperature of 149-227. degree. C. for sufficient time to form a coating resistant to dissolution of chromium and a steel base metal having a yield point elongation no greater than 0. 3% and retaining good bake hardenability characteristics. The chromium bearing epoxy coating is impervious to moisture, can readily be welded and possesses sufficient toughness and lubricity to allow deformation of the sheet without additional external lubricant. A deeply drawn article formed from the sheet has enhanced painting characteristics.

International Classification:

C21D 9/52
C23C 30/00
C21D 3/02

Abstract:

Oxides formed during annealing of stainless steel strip are removed with abrasive brushes, in lieu of acid or molten salt based pickling. In some embodiments, the stainless steel strip is treated with a rare earth element or a related transition metal before annealing, and then brushed after annealing to remove any oxides. The selection of brushes can impart a finished appearance to conventionally polished stainless steel.
