Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Single-layer coating FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The field of the invention is that of household articles which are heated or capable of being heated, in particular cooking articles, comprising an element coated by a coating according to the invention. STATE OF THE ART
[0002] In the field of household articles, in particular that of culinary articles, the coatings applied to substrates most often metallic (aluminum, aluminum casting, stainless steel, cast steel...) are of various natures.
[0003] More specifically regarding the interior surfaces of these household items, PTFE-type fluorinated resin coatings have been known for over 50 years, prized for their excellent non-stick and cleanability properties, thermal stability, and resistance to chemicals and various foods. However, PTFE's inherent weakness is its ductility, which makes the coatings easily marked, scratched, and worn by metal utensils (spatulas, forks, spoons, immersion blenders, etc.).
[0004] Organic polymer undercoats are known in the prior art of cookware, however, only described for improving the scratch resistance of "soft" coatings based on fluorinated polymers such as PTFE. Furthermore, in most cases, the described process requires double curing, heating the heat-stable polymer above its melting point before cooling and applying the fluorinated layers, which remains very expensive.
[0005] In application WO 2000 / 54895, it is mentioned that a sub-coating composed solely of oxy-1,4-phenylene-oxy-1,4-phenylene carbonyl 1,4-phenylene, PEEK (with particle sizes between 5 µm and 100 µm, and preferably with a d50 of 20 µm) is deposited on a metallic substrate, with a coverage of between 60% and 95% of the article's surface, and then coated with a single- or multi-layer non-stick coating based on fluorinated resins and fluorinated copolymers. The PEEK sub-coating is deposited either by pad printing or screen printing, or by spraying in dispersion form.
[0006] The thickness of this PEEK layer is between 5 pm and 100 pm.
[0007] The drawback of the process as described is that it requires a double firing of the PEEK-based fluorinated coating. The first firing requires a temperature above the melting point of the polymer composing the underlayer (i.e., between 380 and 400°C for PEEK) in order to allow its adhesion to the metallic substrate. It is necessary then cool the article strongly, which is very costly in time and energy, but essential to be able to apply the successive fluorinated layers which will be sintered during a second high-temperature firing (> 420°C).
[0008] Polymers such as polyaryletherketones (PAEK) and in particular oxy-1,4-phenylenephenylene-oxy-1,4-phenylene carbonyl 1,4-phenylene or PEEK, are used in advanced applications for their thermal, mechanical, chemical resistance properties, for example in aeronautics, in health.
[0009] This type of polymer is commercially available in the form of granules and powders obtained from grinding these granules. These powders can then be dispersed in liquid formulations of aqueous or solvent-based coatings, for application by spraying, roller coating, etc.
[0010] Electrostatic spraying of PEEK in powder form is also possible and has been described. This technique has the advantage of considerably limiting overspray since the negatively charged metallic substrate attracts the positively charged polymer powder. However, this approach requires a highly technical and specialized setup. The metallic substrate must either be grounded throughout the manufacturing process to prevent the powder from detaching, or be heated to a temperature above the polymer's melting point. It is therefore an expensive technique. Description of the invention
[0011] The present invention proposes an alternative to coatings based on a majority of PTFE in order to obtain good resistance to mechanical wear of the coatings, in particular by kitchen utensils for culinary articles and thus improve the durability of their mechanical resistance, in particular when hot and / or their cleanability, in order to extend the life of the article.
[0012] To remedy the weaknesses of PTFE-type coatings, the invention proposes a coating comprising one or more PAEKs in all its layers as a high-performance thermoplastic polymer, in combination with one or more other polymers, different from PAEK, in at least one of its layers.
[0013] These other polymers serve to provide complementary performance to the PAEK polymer. These may include: - One or more fluorocarbon resins: these secondary polymers remain interesting for providing a good level of non-stick properties for certain applications such as pans; - Another aromatic thermoplastic polymer, such as PES (Polyethersulfone): its glass transition temperature is much lower than The PEAK melting process improves the coating's film formation, which in turn improves adhesion to the substrate; - One or more organopolysiloxane polymer(s): these polymers remain interesting for providing ductility to the coating and promoting its ability to be stretched and stamped with sand; - Another heterocyclic thermoplastic polymer. Summary of the invention

DEFINITIONS
[0032] For the purposes of this invention, the terms "layer" or "coating" refer to a continuous or discontinuous layer. A continuous layer (also called a monolithic layer) is a single unit forming a flat, completely covering the surface on which it is laid. A discontinuous layer (or non-monolithic layer) may comprise several parts and is therefore not a single unit.
[0033] The term "base layer" means all the layers from the first layer applied directly to the substrate (it is preferable that this layer adheres well to the substrate and provides all its mechanical properties to the coating: hardness, scratch resistance) to the last layer applied before the first decorative layer, when present.
[0034] The term "finish layer" means a continuous and transparent surface layer, this layer allowing perfect visibility of the decorative layer while protecting it from mechanical damage and giving the coating its properties non-stick. Preferably, the final finishing layer is intended to come into contact with food.
[0035] The term "decoration" or "decorative layer" means one or more continuous or discontinuous layers comprising a pigment composition. The decoration may be in the form of one or more patterns, or one or more colors. A decoration is clearly visible to the user with the naked eye and at a normal viewing distance for the household item.
[0036] The term "overlapping layers" refers to layers that are partially or completely superimposed. These layers may take the form of partially overlapping patterns, for example concentric disks.
[0037] The term "adjacent layers" refers to non-superimposed layers. These layers may be in the form of identical or different non-superimposed patterns, preferably uniformly distributed.
[0038] A "temperature reference pigment composition" is defined as a composition comprising a pigment which, at a given temperature, indicates to the user that the optimal operating temperature has been reached. This indication is made by comparing the colors of the thermochromic pigment composition and the temperature reference pigment composition. The optimal operating temperature is reached either when the colors are identical or when the colors are visually very different.
[0039] The "temperature reference pigment composition" may include a pigment that exhibits:
[0040] - the same color as the thermochromic pigment composition at temperature for optimal use,
[0041] * either because this pigment has the same color at room temperature as the Thermochromic pigment composition at optimal use temperature and does not change color with temperature.
[0042] * either because this pigment has a different color at room temperature of that of the thermochromic pigment composition which evolves to the same color as the thermochromic pigment composition at the optimal operating temperature,
[0043] - a color very different from that of the thermochromic pigment composition the optimal operating temperature, whether this pigment changes color or not with temperature changes.
[0044] The optimal operating temperature can be reached when the color of the temperature reference pigment composition corresponds to a color indicated in the user guide for the household item including the coating of the invention or to a color indicated on a color scale supplied to the user with said article.
[0045] The temperature reference pigment composition is thermochromic or thermostable.
[0046] The reference temperature pigment composition can be, for example, a reference cooking temperature pigment composition or an indication of risk of overheating.
[0047] For the purposes of this invention, "thermochromic pigment or pigment composition" means a pigment or pigment composition that changes color with temperature within a given temperature range, this change being reversible. This color change is visible to the user with the naked eye at normal viewing distances.
[0048] The term "thermostat pigment" means a pigment which does not exhibit a change of color when subjected to a temperature rise within a given temperature range or which exhibits a change of hue when subjected to a temperature rise within a given temperature range so small that it is not visible to the user with the naked eye and at a conventional operating distance.
[0049] Preferably, the thermostable pigments have a color difference AE* between 25°C and 200°C of less than 10, AE* being defined by the CIE1976 formula in the CIELAB color space:
[0050] * c * ^2 7 / * zr~ AE = J(l2 -Li ) +(a2*-af) 2 +p2 -¼ j 2
[0051] Li*, ai* and bi* characterizing the L*a*b values of said compound at room temperature
[0052] L2*, a2* and b2* characterizing the L*a*b values of said compound at 200°C.
[0053] By "the colours are identical" we mean indistinguishable by the user to the naked eye and at a normal operating distance.
[0054] The term "culinary article" should be understood, for the purposes of the present invention, as an object intended for cooking. To this end, it is intended to receive heat treatment.
[0055] The expression "object intended to receive heat treatment" should be understood in the context of the present invention as an object which will be heated by an external heating system such as pans, pots, sauté pans, woks, barbecue grills and which is capable of transmitting the heat energy supplied by this external heating system to a material or food in contact with said object.
[0056] For the purposes of this invention, the term "electric cooking appliance" means a heating object having its own heating system such as such as electric crepe maker, electric raclette machine, electric fondue machine, electric grill, electric griddle, electric cooker, bread machine, electric pressure cooker.
[0057] The term “coating” means the layer covering the metallic substrate and adhering to that substrate.
[0058] In the present invention, the % by weight are expressed in dry weight, i.e. without solvent. DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
[0059] [Fig. 1] represents a cross-sectional view of an example embodiment of a coated heating element (1) for household article, comprising a metallic substrate (2) coated on at least one face (2a) with a coating (3) in contact by one of its faces (3a) with the metallic substrate (2) and visible to the user by its face (3b).

[0062] either several layers, each comprising one or more polyarylether ketone(s) (PAEK) and at least one of these layers being made up of
[0063] - at least 70% by weight of a polymeric phase, consisting of: • at least 50%, by weight, of one or more polyarylether ketone(s) (PAEK(s)), the remainder being selected from the group consisting of one or more organopolysiloxane polymer(s), one or more aromatic thermoplastic polymer(s) other than PAEK, one or more heterocyclic thermoplastic polymer(s), and mixtures thereof, and optionally one or more fluorocarbon resin(s); or • at least 50%, by weight of one or more polymer(s) chosen from the group consisting of aromatic thermoplastic polymers other than PAEK, heterocyclic thermoplastic polymers, organopolysiloxane polymers and their mixtures, the remainder consisting of one or more polyarylether ketone(s) (PAEK), and possibly one or more fluorocarbon resin(s);
[0064] - one or more charge(s);
[0065] - possibly one or more additive(s);
[0066] - possibly one or more coloring agent(s),
[0067] i.e., a monolayer consisting of:
[0068] - at least 70% by weight of a polymeric phase, consisting of: • at least 50%, by weight, of one or more polyarylether ketone(s) (PAEK(s)), the remainder being selected from the group consisting of one or more aromatic thermoplastic polymer(s) other than PAEK, one or more heterocyclic thermoplastic polymer(s), and mixtures thereof, and possibly one or more fluorocarbon resin(s); or • at least 50%, by weight, of one or more polymer(s) chosen from the group consisting of aromatic thermoplastic polymers other than PAEK, heterocyclic thermoplastic polymers, and mixtures thereof, the remainder consisting of one or more polyarylether ketone(s) (PAEK), and possibly one or more fluorocarbon resin(s);
[0069] - one or more charge(s);
[0070] - possibly one or more additive(s);
[0071] - possibly one or more coloring agent(s).
[0072] Advantageously, the thickness of the coating (3) according to the invention is between 5 and 200 pm, preferably between 10 and 80 pm. Polymer phase
[0073] PAEK
[0074] Advantageously, the polyaryletherketone(s) (PAEK) is / are chosen from the group consisting of: polyetherketones (PEK), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherketoneketones (PEKK), polyetheretherketoneketones (PEEKK) and polyetherketoneetherketoneketones (PEKEKK), particularly preferably is / are PEEK.
[0075] PAES
[0076] By way of aromatic thermoplastic polymer(s) other than PAEK, the following are cited as suitable examples according to the invention: poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO), poly(arylethersulfones) polymer (PAES), and in particular polyethersulfone (PES), polyphenylene ether sulfone (PPSU), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), poly(arylene sulfide) (PAS), liquid crystal polymers and their mixtures.
[0077] Heterocyclic thermoplastic polymers
[0078] By way of suitable examples of heterocyclic thermoplastic polymers according to the invention are polyetherimide (PEI), polyimides (PI), polyamideimides (PAI) and polybenzymidazole (PBI), or mixtures thereof.
[0079] Organopolysiloxane polymers.
[0080] By way of organopolysiloxane polymers, suitable examples according to the invention are those obtained from organopolysiloxane polymeric or oligomeric precursors, either in the form of silicone oils of branching degree variable, either in the form of silicone resins with varying degrees of pre-curing or copolymers of silicone resins such as silicone-polyester, silicone-alkyd, silicone-polyurethane, and silicone-epoxy resins, or in the form of mixtures of silicone oils, silicone resins, and silicone resin copolymers. Silicon atoms may be substituted by alkyl (particularly methyl) or aryl (particularly phenyl) groups, or mixtures thereof. The oils or resins preferably comprise one or more (2, 3, or more) hydroxyl or alkoxy functional groups (particularly methoxy, ethoxy, butoxy) as substituents for silicon atoms.
[0081] Preferably, the organopolysiloxane polymer(s) of the coating according to the invention is / are a silicone oil or a copolymer of silicone resins.
[0082] The advantage of using these polymers with very high thermal stability, in particular PAEKs, with continuous use conditions at 260°C, is also to benefit from their very high mechanical properties (Young's modulus, tribology, low coefficient of friction, low surface energy etc.) and their chemical resistance properties (in acidic and basic conditions, excellent resistance to many solvents), their biocompatibility, their biostability and their recyclability.
[0083] According to one embodiment, each of the layers of the coating (3) according to the invention comprises at least 1%, preferably at least 5% by weight of one or more polyaryletherketone(s) (PAEK).
[0084] Advantageously, the polyarylether ketone(s) (PAEK) present in each of the layers is a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or a polyetherketoneketones (PEKK).
[0085] Advantageously, the aromatic thermoplastic polymer(s) other than PAEK include polyethersulfone (PES) or polyphenylene sulfide (PPS).
[0086] An amorphous, non-crystalline, aromatic thermoplastic polymer, such as PPSU / PES (Polyethersulfone), improves the coating's film formation because its glass transition temperature is much lower than that of PAEK, thus enhancing adhesion to the substrate. This also advantageously improves the material's ductility and enhances its stretchability and stampability.
[0087] Organopolysiloxanes
[0088] This family of polymers makes it possible to combine different properties, depending on the polymer structure, such as thermal resistance, lubrication and anti-sticking, hydrophobicity, resistance to heat, thermo-oxidation and chemical and biological aggressions, etc.
[0089] Advantageously, when the polymeric phase comprises an organopolysiloxane polymer, this can be obtained by a crosslinking process leading to A polymeric network, continuous or discontinuous at the microscopic scale, exists within the polymer phase, depending on the concentration, nature, and conformation of the other components in the coating. "Crosslinking" refers to the chemical reaction leading to one or more covalent bonds between the precursors of the organopolysiloxane polymer and / or between these same precursors and other components of the coating.
[0090] The coating according to the invention obtained is advantageously solid, "solid" means the characteristic of a cohesive material insoluble in water, in common solvents, in food components such as aqueous or fatty mixtures, even if the material may exhibit high hardness or high flexibility such as an elastomer.
[0091] The organopolysiloxane polymer network may consist of a combination of 4 simple organosiloxane units designated M, D, T and Q depending on the degree of substitution by the oxygen of the silicon atom, as described in the following table, where R is an organic substituent described below.
[0092] [Tables 1] Structure Degree of oxygen substitution Symbol 1 M ? "OSrO"" R 2 0 RQ 3 T 4 Q
[0093] The organopolysiloxane polymer is obtained by crosslinking from precursors that may be monomeric or polymeric, or, as an intermediate step, oligomeric. The organopolysiloxane polymer can also be obtained from a mixture of these different types of precursors. When the network contains a higher number of T and Q units than D units, the crosslinking density is higher. The distribution among the M, D, T, and Q units depends on the chemical structure of the precursors, in particular on this M, D, T, and Q distribution within the precursors.
[0094] The polymeric precursors are organopolysiloxanes. These macromolecules are formed of M, D, T, and / or Q units as described in the table, where R is independently an alkyl group, in particular methyl, or aryl group, in particular phenyl, different natures of R being able to be present on the same macromolecule.
[0095] Organopolysiloxanes can be either linear or sparsely branched (predominantly D groups), or branched or highly branched (predominantly T and Q groups). Linear or sparsely branched organopolysiloxanes are generally liquid, more or less viscous at room temperature, and are called silicone oils. Branched or highly branched (pre-crosslinked) organopolysiloxanes form a network at the scale of the individual macromolecule and are called silicone resins. At room temperature, the resins are essentially in solid form, or in liquid form, provided in particular that they have a sufficiently low molecular weight, either as a solution in a solvent or as an aqueous emulsion. They can be copolymerized with organic polymers or oligomers not containing silicon, chosen in particular from polyesters, acrylics, alkyds, polyurethanes, and epoxy resins.
[0096] When the crosslinking is a hydrolysis-polycondensation: it is carried out by means of the reactive hydroxy or alkoxy functions, in particular methoxy, ethoxy or butoxy, present on the organopolysiloxane.
[0097] When the crosslinking is a polyaddition (or hydrosilyl tion): it takes place by reaction between the reactive vinyl functions (-CH=CH2) present on one of the organopolysiloxanes and the reactive silyl hydride functions (Si-H) present on the other organopolysiloxane mixed with the first.
[0098] All these reactive functions are present on each organopolysiloxane, with at least one present and two, three, or more present... as much as the molecular structure allows. Silicone oils containing at least one reactive function are called "reactive oils." The reactive functions can be located either at the end of the macromolecular chain (termination) or distributed along the chain.
[0099] Silicone-polyester resins in particular have silicone / polyester mass ratios for example 90 / 10, 80 / 20, 70 / 30, 60 / 40, 50 / 50, 40 / 50, 30 / 70, 20 / 80, 10 / 90, advantageously between 80 / 20 and 50 / 50.
[0100] Linear PDMS silicone oils, pure or pre-emulsified in water, are characterized first by their molecular weight, which is directly proportional to the viscosity of the pure oil. They are then characterized by the presence or absence of reactive functional groups, for example hydroxyl groups on the silicon atoms (silanol), their number, and their location on the molecular chain. For example, reactive oils with viscosities between 50 and 20,000 mPa·s, and in particular between 300 and 5,000 mPa·s, can be used, possessing at least one reactive functional group, preferably at least two, which can be located at the ends of the chain (positions a, w).
[0101] Polymeric precursors reacting by polyaddition may include, for example, polymethylhydrosiloxane, vinylmethylsiloxane, vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), in particular linear, vinyl-terminated diphenylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymers, hydride-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes, hydride-terminated polyphenylmethylsiloxanes, cyclic vinylmethylsiloxane, vinyl-MQ resin, trimethylsilyl-terminated polymethylhydrosiloxane, trimethylhydrosiloxane-terminated dimethylsiloxane copolymer, MQ resin hydride, and the like, as well as combinations thereof.
[0102] Polymeric precursors reacting by hydrolysis-polycondensation, whether silicone resins or silicone oils, may include, for example, poly(methylsilsesquioxanes), poly(propylsilsesquioxanes), poly(phenylsilsesquioxanes), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), terminated trimethylsilyl, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) terminated hydroxyl, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) terminated silanol, polyphenylsiloxane (PDMS) terminated silanol, diphenylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymer terminated silanol, poly(2-acetoxyethylsilsesquioxanes), organo-modified alkoxysilanes and their oligomers, and all similar macromolecules and mixtures thereof.
[0103] The organopolysiloxane polymer can also be obtained by crosslinking a mixture of one or more monomeric precursors and one or more polymeric precursors as described above, as well as one or more oligomeric precursors, which may be linear, branched, or cyclic. These oligomeric precursors have a lower molecular weight than the polymeric precursors. Polymeric and / or oligomeric precursors having more than two reactive functions as described above, advantageously much more than two, can be added to the mixture as a "co-binder" to promote a high crosslinking density of the organopolysiloxane polymer ultimately obtained.
[0104] Monomeric, oligomeric and / or polymeric precursors, in particular silicone resins, copolymerized or not with an organic polymer, play the role of polymeric binder in order to obtain the solid organopolysiloxane polymer combined with the TP of each layer.
[0105] Silicone oil-type organopolysiloxane precursors can be considered as additives if they are added in small quantities (generally between 0.1 and 5% dry) to the overall formula of a layer, independently of the other components for the formation of the solid organopolysiloxane polymer.
[0106] Crosslinking may require a catalyst: - In the case of the crosslinking of organopolysiloxanes by hydrolysis-polycondensation, the formula may include a metallic catalyst, such as for example, metallic complexes based on platinum, tin, zinc, zirconium and cerium, in particular platinum-cyclovinylmethyl-silxane complexes, tin ethylhexanoate, zinc ethylhexanoate, zirconium ethylhexanoate, cerium ethylhexanoate, and tin dibutyl laurate. - In the case of crosslinking organopolysiloxanes by hydrosylilation, the addition of a catalyst may be necessary: this may be, for example, platinum or a suitable platinum-based catalyst such as the Karstedt catalyst or the Ashbys catalyst.
[0107] A crosslinking agent, for example carrying Si-H bonds, may be present.
[0108] Fluorocarbon resins
[0109] The fluorocarbon resin(s) is / are advantageously chosen in the group consisting of: polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoropropyl vinyl ether (PFA) copolymer, tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene (FEP) copolymer and mixtures thereof, particularly preferably comprising PTFE.
[0110] Advantageously, the coating according to the invention does not comprise fluorocarbon resin. [YES] Charges
[0112] The fillers within the meaning of the invention make it possible to provide mechanical reinforcement and can also provide lubricating properties, hydrophobic properties, while improving the mechanical resistance and thermal conductivity of the coating.
[0113] The fillers do not only have the function of adding color to the coating, but can contribute to it.
[0114] The presence of fillers with excellent thermal conductivity makes it possible to compensate for the low thermal conductivity of PAEK polymers.
[0115] Advantageously, the filler(s) is / are chosen from the group consisting of ceramic fillers (SiO2, etc.) and / or mineral and / or metallic fillers (Al2O3, TiO2, etc.) and / or hydrophobic silicas and / or diamond particles.

[0295] Mechanical durability evaluation tests - Hot blade scratch resistance
[0296] The excellent mechanical performance of this coating is evaluated with regard to the hot blade test.
[0297] This test method evaluates the scratch resistance of a coating on the inner surface of a cookware item being tested, which is placed on a heat source. This test is performed using a moving system composed of three hard metal points (ballpoint pens) as illustrated in [Fig. 2]. This test, also known as the "tiger paw" test, induces rotation around its axis and describes an epicyclic movement on the coated surface. The degradation of the coating (appearance of metal spots, scratches, delamination of the coating) is visually assessed after several time cycles.
[0298] This test ultimately allows us to evaluate two output data:
[0299] - Delamination of the coating on a metallic surface after a test time (duration).
[0300] - Appearance of the scratch on the metal: Scratch on the metal after a test time (duration).
[0301] Mechanical durability evaluation tests - Abrasion resistance
[0302] The article is then subjected to abrasion tests by an abrasive pad followed by a milk test as well as a scratch test.
[0303] - Scratch test and wear coefficient
[0304] This test evaluates the coating's resistance to the action of an abrasive pad applied to its surface and the loss of the coating's non-stick properties by means of a milk carbonization test after it has been subjected to the abrasion cycle. It is based on a standard test: NF D 21-511 with adapted specific features.
[0305] The apparatus used is an abrasive tester with a horizontal movement. A fixed arm supports a rectangular pad measuring 70 + 5 mm x 30 ± 5 mm, on which an abrasive pad of the same dimensions is placed. The arm has a tare weight allowing the application of a load of 21 N (including the mass of the lever arm). The abrasive moves at a speed of 33 back-and-forth movements per minute. The abraded surface is 70 mm x 130 mm, representing a stroke of 100 mm, after 1000 abrasion cycles (i.e., 1000 back-and-forth movements of the abrasive). Method for evaluating stampability:
[0306] A stamping test, called a Swift test, is carried out with a Zwick BPU 400 stamping machine.
[0307] Experimental conditions:
[0308] - cutting the discs to a diameter of 64 mm
[0309] - 33 mm punch (Limiting Drawing Ratio = 1.9)
[0310] - stamping die: 40 mm
[0311] The hydrated, pickled, and coated brushed aluminum discs according to the invention are shaped by stamping into the form of a pan with a diameter of 26cm.
[0312] The stampability of a coating on a given substrate is expressed in a binary notation:
[0313] - OK: good stamping ability = adhesion of the coating to the substrate after Deformation by stamping is good
[0314] - Not OK: poor stamping ability = poor adhesion of the coating to the substrate Deformation after stamping is not good.
[0315] Deformation by stamping was carried out in two ways; the adhesion is evaluated differently depending on the deformation method. These methods are estimated to give comparable results.
[0316] Laboratory-scale method:
[0317] The coated aluminium substrate is deformed over a small area (a disc of approximately 10 cm in diameter is required) by a press according to the "Erichsen" or "Godet" method:
[0318] - "Erichsen": the press deforms the surface with a conical and rounded punch to a depth of approximately 1 to 2 cm, with the coating facing outwards. This deformation method also subjects the coating to stretching. If, after deformation, the coating appears heavily cracked or chipped / detached from the substrate, its resistance to deformation from stamping is poor. To amplify the differences, a grid pattern (according to ISO 2409) can be created beforehand in the area where the punch is applied, and then it can be observed whether many tiles have detached (with or without the application of adhesive tape). Table 10 below shows examples of acceptable and unacceptable results.
[0319] - "Bottom": the press deforms the substrate with a cylindrical punch (edge rounded), with an internal coating: this more closely simulates the deformation of a deep drawing, even though the tests performed involved 0% stretching of the skirt (the cylindrical edge). The result is poor when visually observing any delamination, wrinkling, etc., of the coating after deformation. Table 10 below shows examples.
[0320] 3) Examples of embodiment of a culinary article according to the invention:
[0321] The coating is carried out flat on flat aluminium discs, by screen printing process.
[0322] The aluminium discs are made of annealed 4006 alloy, 3.4 mm thick and 340 mm in diameter. They have been treated by brushing (roughness Ra approximately 2 pm).
[0323] The screen printing coating is carried out according to the following parameters:
[0324] - Between 1 and 4 layers, preferably 2 or 3, are deposited on the disk; for a multi-layer coating or a single-layer coating for a single-layer coating;
[0325] - each layer is coated using a silkscreen.
[0326] a final drying of all the layers is carried out first at room temperature for 5 min, then at 120°C (disc temperature) by convection or infrared, for 5 min.
[0327] - the final baking is carried out in an oven between 230 and 380°C for 10 minutes, then the discs are left to cool.
[0328] - the thickness obtained is between 20 and 50 pm, preferably between 30 and 40 pm.
[0329] The coated discs are stamped to form saucepans with a diameter of 20 cm inside, with an aluminium stretch rate on the "skirt" (the circular vertical part) of 0%.
[0330] The aqueous composition of the coating layer is prepared according to the principle of ball milling. Ball milling consists of loading a jar with the sample to be ground and grinding balls and rotating the jar around its axis at a certain speed. The rotation of the jar is generally carried out using a roller mill. The sample can be ground in dry form or dispersed in a suitable solvent (e.g., in water, alcohol, or a solvent). The dispersion may also contain certain additives (such as a dispersant or an antifoaming agent).
[0331] The substrate is coated with the continuous coating layer 1 or 2 as described above. The assembly is heated between 250°C and 380°C for 15 minutes per hour, i.e. the process comprises only one baking step at a temperature > 250°C, and this is after the coating layer has been deposited.
