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 combiningrigid flat-rolled sheet metal continuous-~strip (88) and selected polyesterthermoplastics, which are formed into distinct polymeric layers (90) formelted extrusion deposition on a single surface, at a time, using pressuredies, and other steps, for forming a uniform coat of distinct polymeric layers(90), which provide high green-strength-adhesion during continuous-in~-linetravel; and including dual-surface finishing for complete bonding of thepolymeric layers on both metallic surfaces which may include a non-ferrousmetallic protective coating (89).
