According to one embodiment, the device (1) comprises a metal surface (2) and a ceramic coating (3) applied on said metal surface (2).

Description

Device comprising a ceramic coating and method for producing the same
Technical Field
An apparatus comprising a ceramic coating is provided. Methods of producing such devices are also provided.
Background
The powder coating is used as a protective layer for the LED housing. Without aeration, fine powders as coating materials are generally known to be explosive. The modification of the coating typically includes fluorocarbon polymers that generate toxic gases at high temperatures. The process of modification to produce such coatings involves sample pre-treatment, such as pre-heating and surface treatment by toxic chemicals, leading to increased production time, cost and environmental issues.
Furthermore, since such modified raw materials for powder coatings comprise organic materials, the color of such coatings gradually fades after exposure to environmental influences, such as sunlight comprising ultraviolet radiation. Thus, the modified properties of the powder coating are not sufficiently stable over a period of time during a 3-year warranty period or a 5-year warranty period.
The burning problems of sprayed powder coatings can only be minimized by grounding the part being powder coated. This promotes better transfer of the electrostatically charged powder particles to the grounded metal part and may also prevent any sparking during the coating process. Unfortunately, the toxic hazard of powders cannot be eliminated but only possibly reduced. Some of the toxic substances contained in the powder include lead and other carcinogens. When dust is inhaled or in contact with the skin, breathing disorders or irritation, respectively, may be caused. Protective clothing (such as gloves and antistatic work clothes) and appropriate respirators to prevent powder from contacting the skin are needed.
Discoloration is another problem that powder coatings cannot avoid. The outdoor properties are determined by the chemical composition of the powder coating. Technical-grade powder coatings consist of polyester and polyurethane, which have a wide range of colours, gloss and special effects, but a rated service life of 12 to 18 months.
The base material for the universal and high performance powders is typically super durable polyester, super durable polyurethane or acrylic. There are a wide variety of colors to choose from, but there are fewer choices for technical grade powders because there are fewer high performance pigments available. Coatings with standard grade organic pigments typically last 18 to 24 months.
When inorganic mixed metal oxide pigments or high performance automotive grade organic pigments are used, the duration can be extended to about 2 to 5 years. To improve the performance of the powder coating, fluoropolymers are added to extend its lifetime to 10 to 20 years. However, the possible colors are limited due to limited selection of pigments and gloss levels.
Disclosure of Invention
One object to be achieved is to provide a device with high color stability. Another object to be achieved is to provide a method of producing such a device.
This object is achieved in particular by an apparatus and by a method having the features of the independent claims. Preferred further developments form the subject matter of the dependent claims.
In particular, the device comprises a metal surface and a ceramic coating applied on the metal surface. The ceramic coating comprises ceramic particles, a silane-based compound, and an inorganic pigment. Preferably, the ceramic coating is free of potentially harmful components, such as fluorinated polymers, that may generate toxic gases upon heating.
According to at least one embodiment, the device comprises one or more metal surfaces. For example, the metal surface is an aluminum surface, a copper surface, a steel surface, or a nickel surface. The at least one metal surface is partially or completely provided with a ceramic coating. The metal surface can be provided with a ceramic coating in a structured manner. Preferably, the metal surface is a part of a metal plate. The metal plate may have two metal surfaces on opposite main sides. As an alternative, the metal plate is completely or partially coated with a ceramic coating on both main sides. This means that the metal plate can be completely surrounded and enveloped by the ceramic coating.
According to at least one embodiment, the device comprises one or more ceramic coatings. The term "ceramic coating" means that one or more ceramic components are present in the ceramic coating. The ceramic coating is preferably made of a homogeneous material, so that there are no target adjustment regions with different material compositions. As an alternative, the ceramic coating may have a non-homogeneous design, such that the ceramic coating comprises a plurality of regions having different properties, in particular having different colors.
According to at least one embodiment, the at least one ceramic coating has a constant thickness. As an alternative, the ceramic coating may have a varying thickness. The ceramic coating may be a planarization layer that planarizes the surface roughness of the metal surface. Furthermore, the ceramic coating may have a relatively large surface roughness to produce a rough coating, for example to adjust the surface feel of the device.
According to at least one embodiment, the at least one ceramic coating comprises ceramic particles. The ceramic particles may be present in the form of or made of ceramic powder.Suitable ceramic particles may include all typical, oxidized, non-oxidized, acidic or basic ceramic raw materials and mixtures thereof. Particularly preferably based on SiO2And/or Al2O3The ceramic product of (1). Mixtures of these materials may also be present.
Materials which are particularly useful for ceramic particles and thus for ceramic powders (particularly mixtures of these materials and their raw materials) include: oxides, e.g. BeO, MgO, Al2O3、SiO2、CaO、TiO2、Cr2O3、MnO、Fe2O3、ZnO、SrO、Y2O3、BaO、CeO2、UO2(ii) a And/or carbides, e.g. Be2C、Be4C、Al4C3、SiC、TiC、Cr3C2、Mn3C、Fe3C、SrC2、YC2、ZrC、NbC、Mo2C、BaC2、CeC2HfC, TaC, WC, UC; and/or nitrides, e.g. Be3N2、BN、Mg3N2、AlN、Si3N4、Ca3N2、TiN、VN、CrN、Mn3N2、Sr3N2、ZrN、NbN、Mo3N2、HfN、TaN、WN2UN; and/or borides, e.g. AlB4、CaB6、TiB2、VB2、CrB2、MnB、FeB、CoB、NiB、SrB6、YB6、ZrB2、NbB2、MoB2、BaB6、LaB6、CoB6、HfB2、TaB2WB; and/or silicides, e.g. CaSi, Ti5Si3、V5Si3、CrSi2、FeSi、CoSi、ZrSi2、NbSi2、MoSi2、TaSi2、WSi2. Other ceramic particles that may be used include: oxidic and non-oxidic compounds, mixed phases, e.g. mullite (Al)6Si2O13) From the system Al2O3-Cr2O3、MgSiO4、CaSiO4、ZrSiO4、MgAl2O4、CaZrO3SiAlON, AlON and/or B4C-TiB2The mixed crystal of (1). It is also possible to use ceramic particles having a non-stoichiometric composition, for example ceramic materials having a metal phase, glass and TiOxA silicate salt.
According to at least one embodiment, a silane-based compound is used as a binder between the ceramic particles and the inorganic pigment. Here and hereinafter, the term "silane-based compound" is used, but the term "silane-based compound" actually includes a mixture of two or more different silanes (such as different trimethoxymethylsilanes), and thus a plurality of different silane-based compounds may be present.
The term "silane-based" means that the compound is initially at least one silane, in particular at least one silane monomer or at least one silane oligomer or at least one silane polymer. This means that the compound may be a reactant of the ceramic coating. Thus, in the finished ceramic coating, the compound no longer necessarily has to be at least one silane. Thus, during the manufacture of the ceramic coating, the at least one silane reactant may have reacted with another silicon-containing compound and/or may have reacted with the particles, i.e. with the ceramic particles or with the inorganic pigments, to achieve chemical bonding between adjacent particles.
For example, the silane or one of the silanes has the formula:
Figure BDA0001833572990000031
preferably, the group R1Independently of one another, identical or different alkyl, alkylaryl or aryl groups which may be interrupted by ether functions, preferably methyl or phenyl, in particular methyl; radical R2Independently of one another, identical or different radicals selected from H and/or alkyl radicals having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, preferably methyl or ethyl; radical R3Independently of one another, are identical or different and have from 1 to 30 carbon atomsHydrocarbyl radicals which are interrupted by ether functional groups, preferably- (CH)2)n-, where n is 1 to 11, especially-CH2-CH2-; a is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 2.5; b is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 3, with the proviso that a + b is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3.
More details on such silanes can be found, for example, in document US2013/0267403a1, see in particular paragraphs 31 to 46. The disclosure of silanes in this document is incorporated herein by reference.
According to at least one embodiment, the ceramic coating is free of substances that may be harmful during use or production of the device. In particular, the ceramic coating and the reactants for the ceramic coating are free of fluorinated polymers. Furthermore, the ceramic coating and the reactants may therefore also be chlorine-free. The ceramic coating and the reactants may therefore be free of any halogen.
As an alternative, the silane-based compound and the reactants may thus be free of heavy metals, such as Cr, Pb, Cd, Hg. The same may be true for the entire ceramic coating.
According to at least one embodiment, the inorganic pigment provides at least one color to the ceramic coating. In particular, ceramic coatings appear polychromatic due to pigments. As an alternative or in addition, the reflectivity of the ceramic coating can be adjusted by means of pigments. Thus, the ceramic coating may appear white, gray, or black. Different areas of the ceramic coating may have different colors due to the use of different pigments at different locations of the ceramic coating.
For example, one or more of the following materials are used for the inorganic pigment, alone or in combination:
violet pigments, e.g. BaCuSi2O6Cobalt orthophosphate, NH4MnP2O7
Blue pigments, e.g. sodium Na sodium sulfosilicate8-10Al6Si6O24S2-4、(Na,Ca)8(AlSiO4)6(S,SO4,Cl)1–2Cobalt stannate (II), CaCuSi4O10、BaCuSi4O10、Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2、Fe7(CN)18、YIn1-xMnxO3
Green pigments, e.g. CdS in combination with Cr2O3、(Cr2O3·H2O)、CoZnO2、Cu2CO3(OH)2、CuHAsO3、K[(Al,FeIII),(FeII,Mg)](AlSi3,Si4)O10(OH)2
Yellow pigments, e.g. As2S3、BiVO4、PbCrO4、K3Co(NO2)6、Fe2O3·H2O、PbSnO4、Pb(Sn,Si)O3、SnS2Cadmium sulfoselenide, PbCrO4+PbO,
Red pigments, e.g. As4S4、Cd2SSe、Pb3O4、HgS,
Black pigments, e.g. Fe3O4、MnO2、Ti2O3
In at least one embodiment, an apparatus includes an aluminum surface and a ceramic coating applied to the aluminum surface. The ceramic coating comprises silica, a silane-based compound as a binder, and an inorganic pigment. The ceramic coating is free of halogen-containing polymers, in particular free of fluorinated polymers.
According to a preferred embodiment, the ceramic particles comprise or consist of silica. Silica (silica) refers to silicon dioxide (silica dioxide) particles.
According to at least one embodiment, the device further comprises one or more shielding agents. The at least one shielding agent is configured to absorb ultraviolet radiation. Thus, the inorganic pigment can be protected from fading due to ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation means in particular radiation having a wavelength of from 200nm to 420 nm. Preferably, the at least one shielding agent is part of the ceramic coating.
According to at least one embodiment, the shielding agent comprises or consists of at least one organic compound. The organic compound is preferably selected from: benzophenone, benzotriazole, phenyl triazine, benzylidene malonate, cyanoacrylate. For example, o-hydroxybenzophenones, o-hydroxyphenylbenzotriazoles or o-hydroxyphenyltriazines are used as screening agents.
According to at least one embodiment, the shielding agent comprises or consists of at least one inorganic compound. The inorganic compound is preferably selected from: TiO 22、ZrO2、ZnO。
According to at least one embodiment, the metal surface is a roughened surface. Preferably, the average roughness of the metal surface is at least 0.5 μm or at least 1 μm or at least 5 μm. Alternatively or in addition, the average roughness is at most 50 μm or at most 30 μm or at most 20 μm. Average roughness is also referred to as Ra
According to at least one embodiment, the device further comprises one or more light sources. For example, the at least one light source comprises or consists of one or more light emitting diode chips. For example, white or blue light is generated in the light source. The device may be designed such that the operating temperature of the light source is at least 60 ℃ or 90 ℃ or 120 ℃. This means that the device, in particular the ceramic coating, is configured to withstand relatively high temperatures and high radiation exposure, in particular in the short wavelength range, i.e. in particular near ultraviolet radiation and blue light.
According to at least one embodiment, the metal plate having a metal surface coated with a ceramic coating is part of a housing of the light source. Thus, the ceramic coating may be visible from outside the device during the intended use of the device.
A method of production is also provided. The method is utilized to produce one or more devices as shown in connection with at least one of the above embodiments. Features of the method are therefore also disclosed for the device and vice versa.
In at least one embodiment, the method is designed to manufacture the above-described device and comprises the following steps, in particular in the order named:
-providing a metal surface and a slurry comprising ceramic particles, a silane-based compound as binder and an inorganic pigment, and
-applying the slurry onto the metal surface to produce a ceramic coating.
According to at least one embodiment, the main components of the slurry are ceramic particles, a silane-based compound, and an inorganic pigment. Particularly preferably, the slurry further comprises a solvent as a fourth main component, for example an alcohol such as isopropanol, or an inorganic solvent such as water. By means of the solvent, the viscosity of the slurry can be adjusted. In particular, the three or preferably the four ingredients comprise at least 90 wt% or at least 95 wt% or at least 98 wt% of the total slurry.
According to at least one embodiment, the slurry is cured after being applied to the metal surface. Curing includes, for example, drying and/or heat treatment. Preferably, the maximum temperature during drying and/or heat treatment is at most 400 ℃ or at most 250 ℃ or at most 150 ℃. This means that sintering at significantly elevated temperatures is not required. Typically, sintering is carried out at temperatures well above 800 ℃. Since such high temperatures can be avoided, the risk of damaging any pre-installed components of the device is reduced. For example, curing is continued for at least 1 minute or at least 5 minutes or at least 15 minutes and/or at most 5 hours or at most 1 hour.
According to at least one embodiment, the silane-based compound in the slurry and/or finished device comprises one or more of the following functional groups: vinyl, amino, acryloyl, glycidyl, alkyl. For example, silanes for use in the slurry are produced as disclosed in document US2013/0267403a1 (see in particular paragraphs 172 to 185). The disclosure of this document on the production of silanes is incorporated herein by reference.
According to at least one embodiment, the following proportions by weight are present in the slurry:
-ceramic particles, at least 20% or at least 30% or at least 40% and/or at most 80% or at most 70% or at most 60%, in particular from 20% to 70%, inclusive,
-an inorganic pigment, at least 2% or at least 5% or at least 10% and/or at most 60% or at most 40% or at most 20%, in particular from 5% to 40%, inclusive,
-a silane-based compound as binder, at least 0.2% or at least 1% or at least 5% and/or at most 40% or at most 20% or at most 10%, especially from 1% to 20%, inclusive,
-optionally a shielding agent, at least 0% or at least 0.2% or at least 0.5% and/or at most 20% or at most 10% or at most 5%, especially 0.2% to 10%, inclusive, and
-preferably present solvents, at least 5% or at least 10% and/or at most 40% or at most 20% or at most 15%, in particular from 5% to 40%, inclusive; particularly preferably, the proportion of solvent by weight is from 15% to 35%, inclusive, or from 22% to 25%, inclusive.
According to at least one embodiment, the average particle diameter of the ceramic particles in the slurry and/or in the finished ceramic coating is at least 1nm or at least 5nm or at least 1 μm and/or at most 30 μm or at most 1 μm or at most 100nm or at most 20 nm. For example, the average diameter is from 1nm to 20nm, inclusive, and particularly preferably from 7nm to 12nm, inclusive. The term "average diameter" preferably means D50The value, the median value.
According to at least one embodiment, the average particle diameter of the inorganic pigments in the slurry and/or in the finished ceramic coating is at least 0.1 μm or at least 0.3 μm or at least 2 μm and/or at most 0.1mm or at most 60 μm or at most 20 μm or at most 10 μm. Preferably, the average diameter of the pigment is from 2 μm to 60 μm, inclusive.
Thus, in the slurry, the average diameter of the ceramic particles may be smaller than the average diameter of the inorganic pigment, for example, by at least 10 times or at least 100 times or at least 1000 times and/or at most 100000 times or at most 10000 times.
If present, the inorganic shielding agent in the slurry and/or in the finished ceramic coating preferably has an average particle diameter of at least 10nm or at least 20nm or at least 0.1 μm and/or at most 10 μm or at most 5 μm or at most 1 μm.
The shielding agent may also be not particles but organic molecules distributed in the ceramic coating. Preferably, such organic molecules do not agglomerate.
According to at least one embodiment, the slurry is applied to the metal surface by spraying. As an alternative, a method using an electric field such as electrophoresis, or printing or dipping may be used.
The application of the slurry is preferably performed exactly once so that there is exactly one ceramic coating.
However, the slurry and thus the ceramic coating may also be applied multiple times, so that the ceramic coating may be composed of multiple layers. These multiple layers may all have the same material composition, or layers having different material compositions may be combined with each other.
According to at least one embodiment, the slurry is applied directly to the metal surface. Thus, no additional primer is required. As an alternative, a primer may be applied, and as an alternative, the primer may be cured prior to applying the slurry.
According to at least one embodiment, heating the finished ceramic coating does not generate toxic gases. This applies in particular to temperatures up to at least 1000 ℃ or 1300 ℃. For example, the device and/or ceramic coating can withstand such temperatures without permanent damage for a period of at least 15 seconds or 30 seconds. Thus, the device and/or the ceramic coating may be flame retardant.
However, the slurry and/or cured ceramic coating is preferably never intentionally heated to an elevated temperature during the intended use and/or production of the device. This means, for example, that the temperature of the slurry and/or cured ceramic does not exceed 200 ℃ or 300 ℃ in the intended manufacture and/or use.

Detailed Description
In fig. 1, a slurry 30 for the ceramic coating 3 is shown. The slurry 30 is composed of a silane-based compound 32 as a binder, ceramic particles 31, and an inorganic pigment 33. The ceramic particles 31 are preferably silica, i.e. silica.
Preferably, the slurry 30 further comprises a solvent (not shown). By means of such a solvent, the viscosity of the slurry for the subsequent process step can be adjusted. As a further alternative, other ingredients such as fluxing agents or precipitating agents may be present.
For example, the composition of the slurry 30 is as follows:
as the inorganic pigment 33, a pearlescent pigment having a particle size of 2 μm to 60 μm is used. The weight proportion in the slurry 30 is 11% to 13%, inclusive.
As solvent, isopropanol or water is used in proportions by weight ranging from 22% to 25%, inclusive.
As binder 32, a silane mixture is used, comprising trimethoxymethylsilane (MTMS) in a proportion by weight in the slurry 30 of between 26% and 28%, inclusive. The silane is used to increase the hardness of the ceramic coating 3 and to increase the scratch resistance of the ceramic coating 3; in addition, the silanes may be used as filler modifiers and crosslinkers as well as water repellents. The silane mixture also includes (3-glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (GLYMO) in a proportion of 3 to 5% by weight, inclusive, in the slurry 30; the silanes are useful as adhesion promoters, crosslinkers and surface modifiers.
-the remaining weight proportion is silica having an average particle diameter of 7nm to 12nm, inclusive,
as an alternative, a screening agent with a smaller weight proportion may be present.
In the method step of fig. 2, the slurry 30 is applied to the metal surface 2. The metal surface 2 is the aluminum surface of a metal plate 20, preferably an aluminum plate. The slurry 30 is applied by means of a tool 5 acting as a nozzle. Thus, the slurry 30 is applied directly to the metal surface 2 by spraying.
As shown in fig. 3, the slurry 30 is then cured into the ceramic coating 3. Curing is for example carried out at moderately elevated temperatures, for example at about 150 ℃ for 15 minutes to 30 minutes, inclusive. Curing may be performed for several hours. Thus, curing may be a drying process and the high temperatures typically used in sintering steps may be avoided.
The slurry may be applied in a constant or almost constant thickness over the relevant part of the metal surface 2. Thus, the resulting ceramic coating 3 may also have a constant thickness. For example, the thickness of the ceramic coating 3 is at least 5 μm or at least 20 μm or at least 50 μm and/or at most 0.2mm or 0.1 mm. These features are also applicable to all other exemplary embodiments.
In particular, in order to solve the above problems of powder coatings, the object to be achieved by the present invention is to develop a ceramic coating 3. The ceramic coating 3 of the invention is developed to be applied to a metal surface 2, for example an aluminium surface. The ceramic coating 3 is preferably deposited by spraying and contains inorganic pigments 33 to provide a protective and decorative surface finish without toxic pretreatment. The finished ceramic coating 3 exhibits high durability, is non-flammable, and does not generate toxic gases at high temperatures.
Prior to spraying the slurry 30 for the ceramic coating 3 on the metal surface 2, a sand blast is preferably applied to increase the surface roughness so that better adhesion can be achieved. The surface preparation can remove rust, dirt, grease and other contaminants without using any toxic pretreatment.
Thus, the ceramic coating 3 preferably comprises three main components, namely ceramic particles 31 (in particular silica), a silane-based compound 32 and inorganic pigments 33.
Thus, in a preferred exemplary embodiment, the sample preparation process comprises the steps of:
pretreatment, including cleaning and treatment of the substrate surface, in particular sandblasting, and
coating processes, including slurry preparation, spraying and curing.
This also preferably applies to all other exemplary embodiments.
According to fig. 4, the metal surface 2 may have an irregular shape and may have different curvatures. As is also possible in all other exemplary embodiments, the ceramic coating 3 may be applied all over the metal plate 20. In addition or as an alternative, two different ceramic coatings 3a, 3b may be present. These coatings 3a, 3b preferably do not overlap or do not overlap significantly. For example, the coatings 3a, 3b have different colors.
In the exemplary embodiment of fig. 5, the ceramic coating 3 is substantially limited to only one major side and to only one lateral side of the metal plate 20. This means that the back side of the metal plate 20 may be free of the ceramic coating 3.
As an alternative, the ceramic coating 3 may be a multilayer pattern, represented by the dashed lines within the ceramic coating 3. This is also possible in all other exemplary embodiments.
Furthermore, the metal plate 20 may have at least one recess 21, for example, to fix the metal plate 20 to another component by screwing. The side walls of the recess 21 may be completely coated with the ceramic coating 3.
According to fig. 6, the metal surface 2 has a relatively high roughness. Such roughness may be intentionally created, for example, by sandblasting. The ceramic coating 3 can be used as a planarization layer, so that the surface of the ceramic coating 3 facing away from the metal plate 20 is significantly flatter and less rough than the metal surface 2.
Contrary to those explained in connection with fig. 6, the ceramic coating 3 substantially reproduces the surface roughness of the metal surface 2 according to fig. 7. Thus, the surface roughness may be reproduced or substantially reproduced by the ceramic coating 3. Intermediate cases between the configurations of fig. 6 and 7 are also possible; that is, the ceramic coating 3 may only partially flatten the surface roughness of the metal surface 2.
According to the top view of fig. 8, the metal plate 20 of the device 1 comprises a plurality of recesses 21, wherein the recesses 21 may have different shapes. The ceramic coating 3 completely covers the top surface of the metal plate 20. Thus, the ceramic coating 3 can also be easily applied to relatively complex metal surfaces 2.
In fig. 9, the fire test of the ceramic coating 3 is shown. The coated metal plate 20 is heated to about 1300 c for about 30 seconds by a flame 61 from the torch 6. No cracking was found on the ceramic coating 3, and it was not burned. Thus, the ceramic coating 3 is non-combustible and can protect the underlying metal sheet 20.
Typically, the combustible material is such that: it is not fully oxidized and can be converted to a higher oxidation state and burn in a self-sustaining manner once ignited in air. The structure of the ceramic coating 3 is mainly formed of silica (which is silicon dioxide). The elemental Si in the ceramic coating 3 has reached its highest stable oxidation state, so it cannot be oxidized any more and no combustion takes place. In addition, the pigment 33 used in the ceramic coating layer 3 is an inorganic compound. The pigment 33 typically does not have hydrocarbons or oxygen for the combustion reaction. Therefore, since the material used for the ceramic coating 3 is non-flammable, there is no significant physical or chemical change or damage after the fire test.
Another exemplary embodiment is shown in fig. 10. The metal plate 20 with the ceramic coating 3 forms the housing of the light source 4. The light source 4 includes a plurality of light emitting diode chips 41 that may be mounted on a submount 43. The light source 4 may be followed by an optional optical element 42, which is preferably a lens. Contrary to what is shown in fig. 10, the ceramic coating 3 need not be limited to the outer surface of the housing, but may also cover the inner surface facing the light source 4.
In fig. 11, one example of the UV-screening agent 34 is shown. In this case, the shielding agent 34 is octophenone and is therefore organic. As shown in fig. 1, the shielding agent 34 is preferably uniformly mixed into the slurry 30. Due to the shielding agent 34, discoloration of the ceramic coating 3 can be avoided or at least significantly reduced.
Generally, the fading effect is slowed rather than completely avoided. Ultraviolet radiation can break chemical bonds, thereby fading the color of the object. This is known as the bleaching effect. The inorganic pigment particles 33 applied in the ceramic coating 3 tend to bond to the edges of each other within the slurry 30, which makes the bond between them stronger and less sensitive to damage caused by ultraviolet radiation. Thus, the ceramic coating 3 may last longer and may be better resistant to fading over time. Indeed, because the characteristics of different pigments may differ, the fading of some pigments may be faster than the fading of others.
As shown in fig. 12, the fading effect of the ceramic coating 3 having the blue pigment 33 is improved in the presence of the UV-screening agent 34. In fig. 12, the time t in weeks is shown relative to the color difference Δ E. The discoloration was tested to show the durability of the ceramic coating 3. The UV test was performed with reference to test standard ASTM D4587. For the UV test, a UV test with a UV intensity of 0.76W/m was used2UVA-340nm lamp. The test was performed as follows: 8 hours of UV exposure with uninsulated blackboard temperature controlled at 60 ℃; then, condensation was performed for 4 hours with the uninsulated blackboard temperature controlled at 50 ℃. The test duration was 8 weeks.
The color difference Δ Ε was measured by a colorimeter according to ISO 7724/1,2,3-1984, where Δ Ε ab is the total difference between two colors and is represented by the geometric distance between the positions of these colors in the CIE 1976(L a b) color space.
In the absence of the shielding agent 34, the color difference Δ E after 8 weeks was about 7. After 8 weeks of testing, the ceramic coating 3 containing the shielding agent 34 had an average Δ E of 2.2 with a standard deviation of 0.7. This is significantly below the limit of Δ E-5 allowed over the expected lifetime of the device 1. The accelerated weathering test showed a low fading rate of the ceramic coating 3. In addition, the ceramic coating 3 does not contain toxic or combustible components.
The invention described herein is not limited by the description given with reference to the exemplary embodiments. Rather, the invention encompasses any novel feature and any combination of features, including in particular any combination of features in the claims, even if this feature or this combination itself is not explicitly indicated in the claims or exemplary embodiments.
