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.
Claims7
A method for coating stainless steel press plates, comprising:
- preparing the stainless steel press plate for coating;
- applying a base layer of titanium to the stainless steel press plate;
- coating the stainless steel press plate, with the base layer of titanium previously applied thereto, with a diboride doped with 1%-5% by weight aluminum to produce a diboride-aluminum coating, wherein the step of coating comprises first applying a gradient based diboride-Al coating layer and then applying a top diboride-Al coating layer, the gradient based diboride-Al coating layer and the top diboride-Al coating layer are applied using a magnetron sputter coating system.
