  • Method for applying a high-temperature lubricant
    Patent number: 8974851
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for applying hexagonal boron nitride to a rough surface, wherein it is intended for the boron nitride to be provided as a temperature-resistant lubricant of the surface. According to the invention, a pin composed of hexagonal boron nitride is rubbed with pressure over the rough surface, such that abraded boron nitride adheres to the surface.

  • Cleaning method for coating systems
    Patent number: 8765214
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pretreatment method to be applied to secondary surfaces in coating systems prior to coating. To this end, a non-stick coating is applied to the secondary surfaces, which can be easily detached from the secondary surfaces, even after coating material has been deposited thereon. In this way, the cleaning process of the coating system after the coating process is considerably simplified.

  • SPARK DETECTION IN COATING INSTALLATIONS
    Publication number: 20130344256
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for effective spark detection during a process for treating workpieces with a vacuum treatment installation, For this purpose, in the case of a bias voltage applied to the workpieces, the discrepancy between the current flowing through the workpieces and a mean value is measured and, in the event of a threshold value being exceeded by this discrepancy, the process is stopped. According to the invention, the threshold value is made dependent on the magnitude of the bias voltage.
