Abstract:
An insulating substrate or surface is provided with a flamesprayed porous electrical resistance coating, impregnated with dielectric material to fill its pores. If the support is metal, it is first provided with a flame-sprayed porous insulating coating that likewise is impregnated with dielectric material. Metal is flame-sprayed onto the resistance coating to form terminals. By using resistance material with a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity, such as a ceramic ferrite, when the resistance coating is used for heating purposes, the article to which it is applied can be prevented from becoming overheated.
Abstract:
Adhering to an electric water heater is a porous layer of heatfused insulating material powder covered by an adhering porous layer of heat-fused electric resistance powder having a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity. The pores of the two layers are filled with dielectric material. Electric terminals connected to the resistance layer are electrically connected with current-actuated circuit breaking means that will be operated by increased current flow through the resistance layer if that layer reaches a predetermined maximum temperature, whereby the water heater is fail safe.
Abstract:
Ferrite powder is flame sprayed onto a glass or ceramic substrate to form a continuous coating, in which the powder is fused together and to the substrate to form a radiation shield. When the substrate is the glass envelope of a television receiver high voltage rectifier tube, such a shield in the correct location will absorb most of the X-rays that otherwise would be emitted by the tube.
