PROCESSING AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCTION OF ENGINEERED COMPOSITE COMBINING CONTINUOUS-STRIP SHEET METAL AND THERMOPLASTIC POLYMERS

摘要

Processes and apparatus for manufacturing an engineered-composite combining rigid flat-rolled sheet metal continuous-strip and selected polyester thermoplastics, which are formed into distinct polymeric layers for melted extrusion deposition on a single surface, at a time, using pressure dies, and other steps, for forming a uniform coat of distinct polymeric layers, which provide high green-strength-adhesion during continuous-in-line travel; and including dual-surface finishing for complete bonding of the polymeric layers on both metallic surfaces.
