Abstract:
Composition for forming lubricant coating, particularly useful in processes for working of sheet metals, comprising a resin capable of forming a layer adhering to the surface, and an oil for forming an upper layer to enhance the lubricating properties on top of and/or partially distributed within the resin layer; and a method of applying both layers of the coating to the metal surface simultaneously from a single aqueous dispersion or emulsion composition. The coating has been found to greatly increase the ability of the metal sheet to withstand severe fabrication processes, such as deep-drawing, without tearing or galling, compared with ordinary lubricating oils or greases.
Abstract:
A coating composition is disclosed comprising aqueous dispersions of copolymers, terpolymers, or ionomers of ethylene and ethylenically-unsaturated carboxylic acids or esters, blended with organic quaternary ammonium-silicate solutions. Coatings from these compositions are useful as electrical insulating coatings, particularly as applied to electrical steel sheets for magnetic cores, or to other metal sheets or wires, or as coatings or impregnants on other substrates. These organic/inorganic coatings have more heat resistance than purely organic coatings, and better adhesion, toughness, lubricity, and lack of abrasiveness than most inorganic coatings. When this coated steel is heated to high temperatures for annealing, a tightly adhering coating of essentially inorganic silica is retained which has excellent electrical insulating properties.
