Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing a metal part. Said method comprises the steps of supplying a strand of metal material and applying a coating from a fluxing agent composition to a surface of the strand of material by means of an application device (1), said fluxing agent composition being applied to only a defined portion of the surface of the strand of material by means of the application device (1).
Claims17
A process for producing a metal part comprising:
- supplying a strip of material composed of a metal;
- and
- applying, by automated application, a coating comprising a flux composition to a surface of the strip of material with a spray apparatus configured to squirt the flux composition, spray the flux composition or a combination thereof onto the strip of material,
- wherein the flux composition is applied by the spray apparatus only to a defined part of the surface of the strip of material, and
- wherein the flux composition applied by the spray apparatus has at least one gradated region.
A process for producing a metal part comprising:
- supplying a strip of material composed of a metal;
- and
- applying, by automated application, a coating comprising a flux composition to a surface of the strip of material with a spray apparatus configured to squirt the flux composition, spray the flux composition or a combination thereof onto the strip of material,
- wherein the flux composition is applied by the spray apparatus only to a defined part of the surface of the strip of material,
- wherein the flux composition is passed through a mask during the applying step, the mask having a plurality of holes and being disposed between the spray apparatus and the strip of material, and
- wherein the metal of the strip of material is an aluminum alloy.
