Enhanced friction coating construction and method for forming same

摘要

A method for forming a friction coating construction which utilizes the providing of a mixture of molten metal material with abrasive particles dispersed therethroughout in particulant form which is sprayed onto a flexible substrate which is of a metallic material being preferably ductile which is then allowed to harden and cool to allow the molten metal to affix the flexible support layer with respect to the metal material and with respect to the abrasive particles dispersed therethroughout thereby providing an enhanced friction control surface which can optionally include an adhesive layer on the surface of the flexible substrate positioned oppositely from the abrasive particles to allow this layer to be affixed to any subsurface surface which needs enhanced control of the coefficient of friction thereto.

1. A method for forming a flexible friction coating construction, said method comprising:
melting aluminum or an aluminum alloy to form a molten metal material; dispersing a plurality of abrasive particles throughout said molten metal material to form a mixture; spraying said mixture directly into abutment with a stainless steel wire mesh flexible substrate having apertures defined within the mesh, to form a pre-construction containing molten metal and a plurality of abrasive particles; and hardening of the molten metal of said pre-construction to adhere the plurality of abrasive particles to the flexible wire mesh substrate such that the resulting construction remains flexible, wherein said apertures are smaller than the size of said abrasive particles in order to prevent said abrasive particles from passing through said stainless steel wire mesh flexible substrate.
