Abstract
A method for coating stainless steel press plates includes preparing the stainless steel press plate for coating and coating the stainless steel press plate with a diboride doped with 1%-5% by weight aluminum to produce a diboride-aluminum coating. The step of coating includes applying the diboride-aluminum coating to a stainless steel press plate using a magnetron sputter coating system.
Claims12
A coated stainless steel press plate manufactured in according with the method comprising:
- preparing the stainless steel press plate for coating;
- coating the stainless steel press plate with a titanium diboride doped with 1%-5% by weight aluminum to produce a diboride-aluminum coating, wherein coating consists of applying the titanium diboride using a first applicator consisting of titanium diboride of a magnetron sputter coating system and simultaneously doping the titanium diboride with 1%-5% by weight aluminum by applying aluminum using a second applicator consisting of aluminum of the magnetron sputter coating system producing the diboride-aluminum coating consisting of the titanium diboride and the aluminum upon the stainless steel press plate.
