Abstract
A coated article (10) and method of making the same is disclosed wherein the coated article (10) includes a substrate (12) consisting essentially of titanium or titanium alloy and an outer coating (14) of thermoplastic resin for protecting the substrate from chemical degradation and maintaining stability during exposure to temperatures of at least up to 260.degree. C. An adhesion primer layer (16) is disposed between the substrate (12) and the outer coating (14). The adhesion primer layer (16) includes an inorganic binder matrix for increasing adhesion to the titanium and titanium alloys. The primer layer (16) further includes a thermoplastic resin in particulate form for increasing adhesion to the outer coating (14).
Claims7
A coated article (10') consisting essentially of a substrate (12') selected from the group consisting of titanium and a titanium alloy;
- an outer coating (14') consisting essentially of polyphenylene sulfide resin for protecting said substrate (12') from chemical degradation by acid decomposition and maintaining stability during exposure to temperatures of 400.degree. to 500.degree. F.;
- an adhesion primer layer (16') disposed between said substrate (12') and said outer coating (14'), said adhesion primer layer (16') including an inorganic binder phase containing a reactive metal powder for increasing adhesion to said titanium and titanium alloys and thermoplastic resin particles for increasing adhesion to said outer coating (14'), said thermoplastic resin particles consisting essentially of polyphenylene sulfide resin;
- and a sublayer (18') between said substrate (12') and said primer layer (16'), said sublayer (18') selected from the group consisting essentially of aluminum, aluminum alloy and aluminum ceramic.
