MICROWAVE CURING OF MULTI-LAYER COATINGS

摘要

A method for providing a coated strip, which includes 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 includes 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.
