Method of producing metal articles with highly finished surfaces for coating

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF PRODUCING, BY DRAWING BETWEEN METAL DIES, PRESSURE SHAPED METAL ARTICLES HAVING HIGHLY POLISHED SURFACES FOR RECEIVING A THIN PERMANENT HIGH GLOSS DECORATIVE COATING COMPRISING: POLISHING THE SURFACE OF METAL STOCK, HAVING THE METALLURGICAL PROPERTIES REQUIRED IN THE FINISHED ARTICLE, IN THE FLAT WITH MATERIAL OF WHICH THE ABRASIVE CONSISTS OF GRITS OF AT LEAST ABOUT 200 MESH FINENESS TO THE FINAL HIGHLY POLISHED FINISH REQUIRED ON THE FINAL ARTICLE, CLEANING THE SURFACE OF THE STOCK TO REMOVE THE POLISHING MATERIAL, THEN COATING THE POLISHED SURFACE OF THE STOCK WITH A COMPOSITION OF COMPLETELY WATER SOLUBLE ORGANIC LUBRICATING MATERIAL AND WATER SOLUBLE INORGANIC WATER LIBERATING METAL SALT, BY APPLYING AND DRYING ON THE STOCK AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF THE COMPOSITION TO FORM ON THE STOCK A THIN WATER SOLUBLE SELF-ADHERENT AND TENACIOUS DRY LUBRICATING AND PROTECTIVE COATING FREE FROM ABRASIVE AND BARRIER MATERIAL AND WHICH, DURING THE DRAWING OF THE STOCK BETWEEN THE METAL DIES, IS CAPABLE OF LUBRICATING AND MAINTAINING THE POLISHED SURFACE, IN THE ABSENCE OF THE ADDITION OF OTHER TYPES OF LUBRICANTS, IN SUBSTANTIALLY THE POLISHED CONDITION IN WHICH IT EXISTED AT THE COMPLETION OF THE POLISHING OPERATION, THEN COLD AND DRAWING THE COATED STOCK BETWEEN METAL DIES, AND WASHING OFF THE RESIDUAL COATING MATERIAL REMAINING ON THE SHAPED STOCK, WHEREBY THE POLISHED SURFACE OF THE SHAPED STOCK IS SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE CONDITION OF SMOOTHNESS IN WHICH IT EXISTED AT THE COMPLETION OF THE POLISHING OPERATION.
