Abstract
In a process for preparing aperture mask assemblies for color cathode ray tubes, an improvement provides thicker, more adherent protective oxide coatings on the bimetallic mounting members of such assemblies by employing the step of mechanically roughening the surface of the mounting members prior to oxidation.
Claims5
In a process for fabricating an aperture mask assembly for a color cathode ray tube including the steps of:
- (a) attaching bimetallic mounting members to the periphery of the metal frame of said aperture mask assembly;
- (b) attaching a pre-formed aperture mask to said metal frame;
- and
- (c) forming a protective oxide coating on said bimetallic mounting members, frame, and mask;
- the improvement comprising the step of mechanically roughening the surface of said bimetallic mounting members prior to the step of forming said protective oxide coating therein whereby said oxide coating is adherent to said surface.
