Metal Coating Method
This invention discloses a metal coating method whereby an abrasion resistant and wear resistant coating is first applied to the metal object, the coated metal object is then fused onto the metal object and the resulting coated metal object is more abrasion resistant and wear resistant while retaining the metal object's original shape.
1 . A method of increasing the durability of metal objects by applying a coating onto the metal object's surface, said method comprising:
cleaning the metal object with the use of abrasives to remove dirt, rust and other foreign material;
coating the metal object by pouring, spraying, dipping, or brushing said abrasion resistant and wear resistant coating onto the surface of the metal object in the area to be coated;
fusing the coated metal object in an atmosphere controlled furnace;
removing the coated metal object from the atmosphere controlled furnace before the coated metal object is allowed to cool below the curing point;
inserting the coated metal object into a press-quench machine, activating the press-quench machine so that the press-quench machine applies pressure to the coated metal object in a method so as to ensure that the original shape of the metal object, followed by submerging the coated metal object in the quenchant bath of the press-quench machine until the coated metal object is cooled below the curing point of the metal object; and
tempering the coated metal object to ensure proper hardness.
2 . The quenchant bath of claim 1 wherein the quenchant bath is comprised of oil quenchant or synthetic quenchant.
