Patent number: 7771577Abstract: Processes for forming a coating on electroconductive flat blanks having two major surfaces and sheared edges are provided. Also provided is a process for forming a multi-composite coating on a pre-sheared, electroconductive, flat blank having two major surfaces and sheared edges. Methods for forming and coating metal blanks are also provided. The present invention further provides a pre-sheared, flat electroconductive blank having two major surfaces and coated with a multi-layer composite coating composition on one major surface. The present invention also provides a method for coating a continuous metal strip, optionally, thereafter forming a coated blank therefrom, and, optionally, applying a second coating to the blank.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2007Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.Inventors: Donald D. Emmonds, Catharine A. Palmer, Linda K. Anderson, Robin M. Peffer, Donald W. Boyd, Paul R. Kerr

Publication number: 20020162749Abstract: A continuous electrocoat apparatus is provided for applying a coating onto a substantially flat substrate, e.g., an electroconductive substrate in coil or blank form. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a first electrocoat tank having a coating region and a non-conductive conveyor extending at least partially into the first electrocoat tank and defining a conveyor path. A plurality of electrically conductive supports are carried on the conveyor. A connecting system is configured to selectively place at least a portion of the supports in electrical contact with an electrical power source when the selected supports are in the coating region of the first electrocoat tank.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2001Publication date: November 7, 2002Inventors: Donald D.
