- In coating said metallic materials with synthetic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and the like by means of melt-dipping method, spraying method, adhering method and the like the defects such us poor uniformity in thickness, unstable peel strength, liability to develop pinholes, cracks and the like has made it very difficult to uniformly coat the special surface such as the inside surface of metallic pipes and the like with said synthetic resin.
- It has, however, been desired to develop an industrial method of quite uniformly coating metallic materials with synthetic resin from a viewpoint of the required corrosion resistance, electric insulation and the like.
- The present invention can eliminate said defects incidental to the prior arts and provide a method of simultaneously coating the inside surface and the outside surface of metallic materials with synthetic resin to form strong and quite uniform coating.
- It is an object to provide a method of simultaneously coating the whole surface including the inside surface and the outside surface of metallic materials such as metallic pipes, nets, plates and the like with synthetic resin to form a strong coating of an uniform thickness without pinholes, cracks and the like.
- This object can be attained by fixedly mounting metallic materials to be coated with synthetic resin in a vessel of the definite volume (hereinafter referred to as a fluidized-resin tank), in which resin powders or minute particulates are maintained in a fluidized condition by means of putting air therein through a lower bottom thereof under pressure and the like, or passing said metallic materials therethrough, said fluidized resin being uniformly coated on the inside surface and the outside surface of said metallic materials by the action of an electromagnetic force developed on the surface of said metallic materials and Joule's heat owing to the direct electrification of said metallic materials to form a strong coating of an uniform thickness without pinholes, cracks and the like. If necessary, a better coating can be obtained by electrifying a coating again to heat after leaving said fluidized-resin tank.

Detail Description of the Invention:
- The present invention relates to a method of simultaneously coating the whole surface, including the inside surface and the outside surface, of metallic materials such as metallic pipes, nets, plates and the like with synthetic resin to form a strong coating of an uniform thickness without pinholes, cracks and the like.
- According to the present invention, metallic materials to be coated with synthetic resin are fixedly mounted in a vessel of the definite volume, in which resin : powders or minute particulates are maintained in a fluidized condition by means of putting air therein through a lower bottom thereof under pressure and the like, or passing said metallic materials therethrough, said fluidized resin being uniformly coated on the inside surface and the outside surface of said metallic materials by the action of an electromagnetic force developed on the surface of said metallic materials and Joule's heat owing to the direct electrification of said metallic materials to form a strong coating of an uniform thickness without pinholes, cracks and the like. If necessary, a better coating can be obtained by elecrifying a coating again after leaving said fluidized-resin tank.
- The construction of the present invention will be in greater detail described below by reference to the drawings.
- Fig. 1 is a flow chart showing an example of the preferred embodiments of a process of coating metallic nets made of iron (alias "lath") with synthetic resin according to the present invention.
- Referring now to Fig. 1, iron nets are unwound from an
iron net roll 7 and electrified by means ofelectrode terminals 5, 5' while they pass through a fluidized-resin tank 3 through aroll 4. - For example,
polyethylene minute particulates 2 fluidized in said fluidized resin tank are coated on the whole inside and outside surface of saidiron nets 1 by the action of the electromagnetic force developed on the surface thereof and Joule's heat developed in themselves to form a quite uniform coating thereon. - For example, an electrification of lath of 1,000 mm wide for 1 min. by an electric current (10 V, 1,000 A) can provide polyethylene coating of 0.5 mm thick all over the wires constructing said iron nets. In addition, the better coating can be provided by electrifying to heat the resulting polyethylene coating in a finishing heating tank 3' in which there are no fluidized-polyethylene minute particulates.
- The resulting metallic nets coated with polyethylene are wound by a
winding apparatus 9 through acooling tank 6. - Furthermore, iron plates of 0.25 mm thick and 1,000 mm long could be electrified for 1 min, by an electric current (5 V, 3,000 A) in the similar apparatus to form a quite uniform polyethylene costing of 0.1 mm thick on the whele inside and outside surface thereof simultaneously.
- It was found from test results that no pinholes were generated in both cases of metallic nets and iron plates.
- The fluidized condition of resin was obtained by blowing air into the lower portion of said fluidized-resin tank by means of a
blower 8. - Referring now to Fig. 2, there is shown an example of both of the inside surface and the outside surface of
iron pipes 1 surface and the outside surface ofiron pipes 1 with.synthetic resin according to the present invention. - For example, the inside surface and the outside surface of said
iron pipes 1 can be simultaneously coated with polyethylene to form a quite uniform coating thereon by standing erect saidiron pipes 1 by means of saidsupporter 10 in said fluidized-resin tank 3, in which polyethylene minute particulates are fluidized, and electrifying saidiron pipes 1 through saidlower electrode terminal 5 and said upper electrode terminal 5'. - A quite uniform polyethylene coating having an average thickness of 0.45 mm could be provided simultaneously on the inside surface and the outside surface of cast iron pipes having a diameter of 50 mm, a thickness of 3 mm and a length of 4 mm by standing erect them in said fluidized-resin tank and electrifying them for 1 min. by an electric current of 50 V, 3,000 A per a piece of cast iron pipe. This has been very difficult to attain by the conventional methods.
- As described above, the present invention can easily coat simultaneously the whole surfaces of metallic materials, which have been difficulty coated with synthetic resin or have been coated with synthetic resin only by means of the complicated process, with synthetic resin to form a quite uniform coating showing excellent corrosion resistance, insulation and the like without pinholes and the like thereon.
