Abstract:
A method of making a roller, the method comprising:processing a core to obtain a surface roughness by thermally spraying a bond coat to substantially cover a portion of the core on which a body of elastomeric material is to be bonded; wherein said bond coat is selected from a group of materials consisting of metals, metal alloys, ceramics and cermets; and applying a body of elastomeric material over the bond coat to form a bond line; and wherein said thermal spraying further comprises at least one of thermally spraying a coating of material that is sufficiently permeable for diverting bond-degrading fluids away from the bond line; or thermally spraying a coating of material that is impermeable to said bond-degrading fluids.
