Attachment coating method
View Patent ↗An attachment coating method including, mixing a conductive attachment into an insulating liquid, immersing an attachment target in the insulating liquid in which the attachment is mixed, and applying ultrasonic vibration to the insulating liquid in which the attachment target is immersed and causing friction between the attachment target and the attachment to charge the attachment target and the attachment.
1. A method comprising:
mixing, in a tank, molybdenum trioxide into an isoparaffinic hydrocarbon solvent;
immersing a metal attachment target in the isoparaffinic hydrocarbon solvent in which the molybdenum trioxide is mixed, in a state in which the metal attachment target is secured by its top and suspended a distance above a bottom of the tank;
applying ultrasonic vibration, from the bottom of the tank, in a single direction to the isoparaffinic hydrocarbon solvent in which the metal attachment target is immersed and causing friction between the metal attachment target and the molybdenum trioxide to electrostatically charge the metal attachment target and the molybdenum trioxide, the ultrasonic vibration comprising a first frequency component having a frequency of fundamental waves, and second frequency components having frequencies that are different from each other and that are integral multiples of the frequency of the fundamental waves; and
leaving the metal attachment target in the isoparaffinic hydrocarbon solvent for a predetermined length of time after applying the ultrasonic vibration so as to coat the metal attachment target with the molybdenum trioxide.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the isoparaffinic hydrocarbon solvent has a volume resistivity of 10 8 Ω·m or more.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the ultrasonic vibration is applied for 300 seconds, and the metal attachment target is left in the isoparaffinic hydrocarbon solvent for 60 seconds.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein one of the second frequency components has a frequency that is twice as high as the frequency of the fundamental waves.
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein another one of the second frequency components has a frequency that is three times as high as the frequency of the fundamental waves.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal attachment target is made from a material selected from the group consisting of titanium, a titanium alloy, and a stainless alloy.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an antinode position of one of the second frequency components is located at a node position of the first frequency component.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the step of applying the ultrasonic vibration, the metal attachment target is negatively charged and the molybdenum trioxide is positively charged.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first frequency component has a frequency of 45 kHz, and the second frequency components have frequencies of 90 kHz and 135 kHz.
