  • Said electrically insulating layer (2) is conveniently applied on the surface of the plate (1), previously roughened, for example by means of sand-blasting, and then subjected to a process of chemical nickel-plating, which prevents phenomena of corrosion, or else by machining and then subjected to a process of galvanic nickel-plating by means of spraying techniques, such as plasma spray, high- velocity oxy-fuel spray, focused cold spray, and the like.
  • the material of which the plate (1) is made will conveniently be a metal or metal alloy having a coefficient of thermal expansion compatible with that of the electrically insulating base layer (2) and of the subsequent layers.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément chauffant pour appareils de moulage par injection de matériaux plastiques, comprenant une plaque (1) en un matériau thermoconducteur, et caractérisé par un traitement amélioré de préparation de la surface de la plaque, en vue de la neutralisation des phénomènes de corrosion. Ladite plaque présente un système de chauffage intégré (basé sur la demande de brevet Italien No IT-A-TO2004A000253 et la demande de brevet U.S. No US-A-2005/0257367), de manière à rendre l'élément chauffant capable de fonctionner à des températures atteignant 600°C, avec glaçage éventuel pour sceller la couche finale isolante d'Al2O3 et mince revêtement d'or final anti-émissif. L'élément chauffant présente également des connexions électriques qui sont fiables aux températures élevées, ainsi que des systèmes de fixation à un canal chauffé (H), également dans le cas où les matériaux de base de la plaque et du canal chauffé sont différents.
