Also Figure 1 shows a system for coating a metal pipe conventional. timing.

[2]

Fluidized bed the coating process in a specially developed for, nylon 11 and a nylon 12 polyamide on the basis of average particle diameter DIN EN ISO 4610 according to powder is generally (d50) is 95 to 120 micro m is.

[3]

Generally they are DIN 53 466 according to bulk density is 400 to 600 grams per litro.

[4]

Powder containing a particulate corresponding crushing or grinding precipitated from polyamide is supplied as powder. Such as call number DE 29 06 647 B1, grinding powder (mill) mill making and as particulate material precipitated powder solvent dissolve and precipitate oxide is produced by. As a result of precipitation the precipitation granule form circular provides polyamide powder having. Precipitated powder although the powder grinding unlike a shock wave to the material has particles.

[5]

Precipitated nylon 12 [...] bath examples of powder (VESTOSINTR) 1101, 1111, 1121, 1141 and 1161 [manufacturer: free useoh to (Degussa AG)] and flow coating for glass, is improved in the wettability examples of nylon 11 powder (RilsanR) 7050 white, gray and white PT 7050 T 7280 is [manufacturer: atto blood or (Atofina)].

[6]

In fluidized bed the coating process, high temperature metal component fluidize a fan having an the polymer powder in a chamber with to immersed into (pan). Wherein, high temperature powder and sintered is adhesion on metallic surfaces provides homogeneous coating. The whole process for the same temperature of a metal surface from exceeding a melting point of the polymer powder is.

[7]

Typically, fluidized bed the coating process the thickness of the coating polyamide in 200 to 500 micro m or, in certain cases, , is about 1000 micro m hereinafter. About 200 micro m thinner than layer is typically flow coating powder produced a fluid the coating process unpredictable, or is very difficult to.

[8]

In coating technique, typically a polyamide commercially available when the production of layers using powder coating flow, flocculation property smooth and the thickness of the film of a powder d50 of 2 times larger than the knows experience as a matter of and have to be. Of powder coating flow commercially d50 since the 95 to 120 micro m, as a result in the film thickness, resulting in a lower limit of m is about 200 micro.

[9]

It that is difficult low film thickness than an immersion time and temperature of object do.

[10]

On the other hand, on the surface film thickness in order to avoid the LED to excessive growth of an immersion only briefly to induce the can but to high temperature object, not covered with hand so as not to region both and an edge-edge of corresponding applied if it has to handle, bath powder codes out specific minimum in time as large as that of immersion time is required.

[11]

Therefore, 50 to 200 micro m in the case of coating thin, fluidized bed the coating process are often used which is method other than, for example, ES spraying, high temperature spraying, tree purpose is (minicoating) coating method and mini (tribo spraying) spraying.

[12]

Like K mini coating method. accumulated first images is most similar to the coating process. However, the method at a high temperature which an upper part is closed and on polyamide powder, which has not been employed in flow into the. The polymers metal parts sufficient energy melting of the material is represented by the long as. that has been applied as a powder. Metal parts slightly sintered powder adhesion is homogeneous providing a layer of has enough heat to result, and is formed in an inhomogeneous shift operation mode initially. When surfaces to the desired homogeneous which has a flat and smooth, following heating in an oven is attained by irradiating with heat source can be achieved.

[13]

The method allows a small lightweight metal parts, for example, is carried out by using an acidulous specifically for clip corset. Examples of conventional mini coating powder [...] bath 2157 and 1164, 1174, is improved in the wettability and and 1452 MAC [manufacturer: free useoh to ] is [manufacturer: atto blood or ]. Mean particle size of these powders (d50) generally 20 to 70 micro m is.

[14]

Mini coating powder the bulk density of the bulk density of powder coating flow typically slightly smaller than the inside.. Zeroknowledge in general is 300 to 350 grams per litro.

[15]

The conventional mini coating powder flows in a specific flow coating powder, significantly poor fluidized properties the planar sheet to exhibit a, their bulk density their into smaller one while is since more fine particles. Coating powder and mini a fine powder commercially available conventional are potentially useful in the in a fluidized bed the coating process is limited.

[16]

However, flow coating process, the thin layer of 50 to 200 micro m for achieving polyamide powder a request for is increased and the.
