摘要:
A method of forming beta-alumina articles includes electrophoretically depositing such material on a mandrel from a specific suspension to which has been added a small weight percent of aluminum stearate, drying the deposited material, removing the material, and sintering the dried material. Such articles are useful as containers for sodium and as solid electrolytes in sodium-sulfur and sodium halogen batteries.

Apparatus and process for electrodedeposition painting of a metallic material by using alternating current (hereinafter designated as A.C.). The apparatus comprises the conventional resin bath and uses the metallic material as an electrode. A counter-electrode is formed of a film-forming metal upon which an oxide film is formed, the oxide film having a thickness no less than 0.2 Mu . Additionally, a third electrode is utilized for preventing pin holes in the coating film.

An electrocoating system comprises an apparatus, method and valve for electrodepositing a coating on interior electricallyconductive surface areas of container bodies. Container bodies having an open end are timely fed onto circumferentially aligned rows of valves on the exterior of a rotating cylindrical drum containing an electrolytic fluid. Continuous anodic cables extend around the drum, exert axial pressure on the bottoms of the containers, render them anodic, sealingly engage their rims on the valves and thereby open the valves to gravity-feed the fluid into the bodies. With fluid therein, current passed through cathodic electrodes projecting from the valve exteriors into the bodies, electrodeposits a coating on the electrically-conductive surface areas of the container bodies. During continued drum rotation, fluid gravitydrains from the coated bodies back into the drum, and the empty, coated bodies are discharged from the system. The fluid valve has a fixed exterior and a moveable interior housing. A valve member connected to the exterior housing has an insulated conductive core to which a spring electrode is connected thereto exterior of the valve member. The interior housing is axially moveable against a spring bias to open a passageway in the valve. All parts of the valve are nonconductive in relation to the fluid.

ELECTRODEPOSITION OF WATER DISPERSIBLE PAINT RESINS ON A METALLIC, ANODIC ELECTRODE SUBSTRATE CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED AT VOLTAGES ABOVE THE NORMAL RUPTURE VOLTAGE FOR THE PARTICULAR RESIN TO ACHIEVE BETTER THROUGH THE PAINT COATING BY MEASURING THE FLOW OF CURRENT DURING THE CONATING PROCESS AND INTERRUPTING THE FLOW OF CURRENT A FEW OCCASIONS AT SPECIFIC TIMES. IN A TYPICAL ELECTROPHORETIC RESIN DEPOSITION PROCESS, DURING THE FIRST SECONDS THERE IS A HIGH CURRENT FLOW WHICH QUICKLY DECREASES. IF ONE IS ELECTRODEPOSITION AT A VOLTAGE MEAR OR ABOVE THE RUPTURE VOLTAGE OF THE RESIN EMPLOYED, THE CURRENT WILL THEN START TO INCREASE AGAIN. BY INTERRUPTING THE CURRENT BEFORE OR JUST AFTER THE CURRENT FLOW HAS INCREASED, FILM RUPTURE MAY BE MINIMIZED OR
AVOIDED AND A SMOOOTHER, MORE COEXTENSIVE PAINT FILM OBTAINED. CURRENT FLOW IS THEN SOON TEINSTATED AND INTERRUPTED AGAIN, THIS BEING REPEATED UP TO THREE TO FIVE TIMES, AFTER WHICH THERE IS NO FURTHER TENEDNCY FOR THE CURRENT TO INCREASE AND THE DEPOSITION MAY BE COMPLETE AT THE RELATIVELY HIGH VOLTAGE WITHOUT FURTHER CURRENT INTERRUPTIONS.

AN ELECTROCOATIG SYSTEM COMPRISES AN APPARATUS METHOD AND VALVE FOR ELECTRODEPOSITING A COATING ON INTERIOR ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE SURFACES AREAS OF CONTAINER BODIES. CONTAINER BODIES HAVING AN OPEN END ARE TIMEDLY FED ONTO CIRCUMFERENTIALLY ALIGNED ROWS OF VALVES ON THE EXTERIOR OF A ROTATING CYLINDRICAL DRUM CONTAINING AN ELECTROLYTIC FLUID. CONTINUOUS ANODIC CABLES EXTEND AROUND THE DRUM, EXERT AXIAL PRESSURE ON THE BOTTOMS OF THE CONTAINERS, RENDER THEM ANODIC, SEALINGLY ENGAGE THEIR RIMS ON THE VALVES AND THEREBY OPEN THE VALVES TO GRAVITY-FEED THE FLUID INTK THE BODIES. WITH FLUID THEREIN, CURRENT PASSED THROUGH CATHODIC ELECTRODES PROJECTING FROM THE VALVE EXTERIORS INTO THE BODIES, ELECTRODEPOSITS A COATING ON THE ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE SURFACE AREAS OF THE CONTAINER BODIES. DURING CONTINUED DRUM ROTATION, FLUID GRAVITY-DRAINS FROM THE COATED BODIES BACK INTO THE DRUM, AND THE EMPTY, COATED BODIES ARE DISCHARGED FROM THE SYSTEM.
摘要:
An improvement is provided in the apparatus employed in temporarily modifying the aperture sizes in a patterned cathode ray tube mask member for utilization in selected steps of the procedure for fabricating a multiplex patterned color screen structure disposed on the interior surface of the tube viewing panel. By the improved apparatus, a basic or first coating material is electrophoretically disposed as a substantially semiporous coating to reduce the sizes of the initially defined apertures in the mask. The use of a foraminous electrode discretely spaced from the mask, along with the handling of the coating suspension, comprises a coating apparatus that facilitates the achievement of an improved temporarily modified mask structure.

A CONTINUOUS ELECTRODEPOSITION METHOD FOR PRODUCING A COHERENT, ORGANIC POLYMERIC FILM FROM AN AQUEOUS DISPERSION OF ELECTRODEPOSITABLE ORGAINC POLYMERIC PARTICLES HAVING A REFERENCE ELECTRODE AT LEAST PARTIALLY IMMERSED THEREIN DISCLOSED. THE METHOD COMPRISES CONTINUOUSLY MOVING A DEPOSITING CONDUCTIVE SURFACE SO THAT A PORTION THEREOF IS IMMERSED AT ANY ONE TIME IN SAID AQUEOUS DISPERSION OF ORGANIC POLYMERIC PARTICLES, WHILE CAUSING SAID AQUEOUS DISPERSION TO FLOW COUNTER TO THE DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT OF SAID DEPOSITING CONDUCTIVE SURFACE, AND SUBJECTING THE AQUEOUS DISPERSION BETWEEN SAID DEPOSITING CONDUCTIVE SURFACE AND SAID REFERENCE ELECTRODE TO A D.C. ELECTRIC FIELD, THEREBY CAUSING SAID ORGANIC POLYMERIC PARTICLES TO MIGRATE TOWARDS SAID DEPOSITING CONDUCTIVE SURFACE AND FROM A COHERENT, ORGANIC POLYMERIC FILM THEREON.

THERE ARE DESCRIBED NEW METHODS OF COATING A SUBSTATE ADAPTED TO FUNCTION AS AN ANODE WITH AN ELECTRODEPOSITED LAYER IN AN ELECTRODEPOSITION BATH CONTAINING THEREIN AN ELECTRODEPOSITING LIQUID PREPARED BY ADDING AT LEAST ONE OF INORGANIC PIGMENTS, MAGNETIC PARTICLES AND DIELECTRIC PARTICLES, SEMICONDUCTIVE PARTICLES, ORGANIC PIGMENTS, AND THEIR MIXTURE TO AMIONIC SOLUBILISED RESIN FORMED BY DISPERSING PIGMENTS (FOR EXAMPLE, A WATER-SOLUBLE ALKYD RESIN CONTAINING 10 PERCENT OF SOLIDS), IN WHICH ELECTRIC POTENTIALS OF BOTH ELECTRODES OF THE ELECTRODEPOSITION BATH ARE MADE EQUAL TO EACH OTHER PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION OF
AN ELECTRIC VOLTAGE ACROSS THEN BY MAINTAINING ELECTRIC POTENTIAL OF THE SUBSTRATE AT A VALUE LOWER THAN THAT OF THE ELECTRODEPOSITING LIQUID OR BY SHORT-CIRCULATING SAID BOTH ELECTRODES THEREBY TO DISCHARGE THE ELECTRIC CHARGE STORED IN SAID ELECTRODEPOSING LIQUID, WHEREBY FORMATION OF UNIFORM ELECTRODEPOSITED LAYER ON THE SUBSTRATE CAN BE MADE POSSIBLE A CONSTANT INITIAL CONDITION OF THE ELECTRODEPOSITION. FURTHERMORE, APPARATUSES ADAPTED TO CARRY OUT THE ABOVE-MENTIONED METHODS ARE DISCLOSED.

THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A METHOD OF TREATING ELECTRODEPOSITION RINSE WATER BY REMOVING AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE SOLIDS CONTAINED THEREIN. THE PROCESS OF THE INVENTION COMPRISES SUBJECTING ELECTRODEPOSITION RINSE WATER TO ULTRAFILTRATION. THE SOLIDS WHICH ARE CONCENTRATED BY THE PROCESS, IF DESIRED, MAY BE RETURNED TO THE ELECTRODEPOSITION BATH DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WHILE THE ULTRAFILTRATE MAY BE USED AS A RINSING AGENT.
