Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method includes applying a first powder to an aluminum article and heating the first powder to form a first layer on the aluminum article providing mechanical strength, corrosion durability and bonding potential. The method also includes applying a second powder to the aluminum article and heating the second powder to form a second layer on the aluminum article protecting the aluminum article from ultraviolet radiation. A coated article includes an aluminum substrate, an epoxy layer and a topcoat layer. The epoxy layer promotes adhesion, enhances corrosion durability and provides mechanical strength, and is formed by applying a first powder containing an epoxy to the aluminum substrate and curing the first powder. The topcoat layer provides resistance to ultraviolet radiation and environmental contaminants, and is formed by applying a second powder to the aluminum substrate and curing the second powder.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of coating a heat exchanger having an aluminum substrate, the method comprising: applying a first epoxy-based powder to the aluminum substrate; heating the first powder to melt and cure compounds of the first powder to form a first layer on the aluminum substrate having a thickness between about 15 microns and about 35 microns and providing mechanical strength, corrosion durability and bonding potential for the aluminum substrate; applying…
