  • Solution for sealing porous metal substrates and process of applying the solution
    Publication number: 20040194667
    Abstract: An aqueous inorganic solution for sealing the porosity of metal components made of sintered compacted powdered metal and castings formed from liquid metal, and a process for applying the solution onto the components. The solution consists primarily of a blend of inorganic metallic salt silicates with the metal ions being taken from Group 1A elements.

  • Method and apparatus for coating vented brake rotors
    Patent number: 6436189
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for applying a protective coating to the surfaces of air vents in a vented brake rotor wherein the method include the steps of rotating the rotor, directing coating material along with a stream of air toward the inlets of the vents to flood the vents with coating material to the surface, applying a suction to the outlets of the vents to remove and recover the excess material, and curing the coating. The apparatus includes fixtures for mounting the rotors that are driven to rotate the rotors during the coating operation, and for automatic operation a conveyer for advancing the rotors through a vent coating station, an exterior coating station for coating exterior rotor surfaces, and a curing station.
