Abstract
A method for the electro-dipcoating of electrically conductive elements, such as screws, nuts, shims or other hardware includes positioning of the elements, which are to be coated, in, on, or at a supporting element on a coating bath, which is provided with at least one anode and one cathode where on the case of a cathodic electrophoretic enameling, the anode and, in the case of an anodic electrophoretic enameling, the cathode is coated with an enamel, which was baked after the coating process and subsequently activated and/or coated with an electrically conductive enamel, which was subsequently cured at room temperature.
Claims13
A method of electro-dipcoating of electro-conductive hardware elements, comprising the steps of providing a coating bath with at least one anode and one cathode, wherein, in case of cathodic electrophoretic enameling the anode and, in case of anodic electrophoretic enameling, the cathode is coated with an enamel which was at least one of baked, after an enameling process and subsequently activated, and coated with an electrically conductive enamel which cures subsequently at room temperature;
- positioning the hardware elements in or at a supporting means located in the coating bath;
- and effecting coating of the hardware elements.
