MICROWAVE CURING OF MULTI-LAYER COATINGS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for providing a coated strip, which comprises the steps of providing a metal or metal alloy strip, applying one or more coating layers on the metal or metal alloy strip and irradiating one or more of the applied coating layers with electromagnetic radiation, wherein one or more of the applied coating layers comprise dielectric particles capable of absorbing microwave radiation and wherein microwave radiation is used to selectively heat one or more of the coating layers containing the dielectric particles to dry and/or cure and/or sinter the coating layer.
