Abstract
Abstract A method for bonding a coating material to a substrate wherein the properties of the substrate material need to be precisely controlled which comprises providing a substrate which is to be coated, supplying a brazing material adapted to come into contact with and coat at least a part of the substrate, positioning a sheet of coating material distributed in a polytetrafluoroethylene fibrous material in close proximity to said substrate, heating said substrate and coating and brazing materials to a temperature which starts melting of said braze material wherein said heating is done by an induction generator thereby allowing for precisely controlled heating effect, and cooling said substrate, braze and coating material, thereby bonding said coating material to the substrate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A method of applying a coating material to a metal substrate wherein the properties of the substrate material need be precisely controlled which method comprises providing a substrate which is to be coated with coating material; supplying a brazing material adapted to come into contact with and coat at least a part of the substrate; positioning a sheet of coating material distributed in a polytetrafluoroethylene fibrous material in close proximity to said substrate; providing flux to said braze and coating materials and said substrate; heating said flux, coating and braze materials and said article wherein said heating is sufficient to start the melting of the braze material and provide for wetting of said substrate and is done by an induction generator so as to provide for only heating surface portions of the substrate; and cooling said substrate and flux, coating and braze materials, thereby bonding said coating material to said substrate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
151 words
A method of applying a coating material to a metal substrate wherein the properties of the substrate material need be precisely controlled which method comprises providing a substrate which is to be coated with coating material; supplying a brazing material adapted to come into contact with and coat at least a part of the substrate; positioning a sheet of coating material distributed in a polytetrafluoroethylene fibrous material in close proximity to said substrate; providing flux to said braze and coating materials and said substrate; heating said flux, coating and braze materials and said article wherein said heating is sufficient to start the melting of the braze material and provide for wetting of said substrate and is done by an induction generator so as to provide for only heating surface portions of the substrate; and cooling said substrate and flux, coating and braze materials, thereby bonding said coating material to said substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 in which an adhesive is added to said flux.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein said induction generator has a frequency in excess of 10 kHz.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein braze material is contained in the sheet of coating material.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
164 words
A method for continuously applying a coating material to a metal substrate wherein the properties of the substrate need to be selectively controlled which method comprises providing a substrate which is to be coated with coating material; applying a brazing material adapted to come into contact with and coat at least part of the substrate; positioning a sheet of coating material distributed in a polytetrafluoroethylene fibrous material in close proximity to said substrate; providing flux to said braze and coating materials and said substrate; heating said substrate and said flux, braze and coating material wherein said heating is sufficient to only start the melting of the braze material and provide for wetting of the substrate and is done by induction generator thereby providing for a precisely controlled heating effect; moving said article relative to the induction generator at a speed so that said braze continues to melt; and cooling said substrate, flux, braze and coating material, thereby bonding said coating material to said substrate.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
164 words
A method for continuously applying a coating material to a metal substrate wherein the properties of the substrate need to be selectively controlled which method comprises providing a substrate which is to be coated with coating material; applying a brazing material adapted to come into contact with and coat at least part of the substrate; positioning a sheet of coating material distributed in a polytetrafluoroethylene fibrous material in close proximity to said substrate; providing flux to said braze and coating materials and said substrate; heating said substrate and said flux, braze and coating material wherein said heating is sufficient to only start the melting of the braze material and provide for wetting of the substrate and is done by induction generator thereby providing for a precisely controlled heating effect; moving said article relative to the induction generator at a speed so that said braze continues to melt; and cooling said substrate, flux, braze and coating material, thereby bonding said coating material to said substrate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method as set forth in claim 5 in which an adhesive is added to said flux.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method as set forth in claim 5 wherein said induction generator has a frequency in excess of 10 kHz.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method as set forth in claim 6 further including the step of providing a braze melt initiator consisting of a concentrated mixture of braze powder with flux applied to the leading edge of said substrate to be coated.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method as set forth in claim 8 further including the step of providing a concentrated mixture layer of braze powder with flux to be placed on substrate area to be coated.
