Abstract:
1. A method of making an electrically conductive, corrosion-resistant coating comprising the steps of providing a conductive substrate to be coated; forming a mixture of a binder compound and a plurality of conductive particles; coating said conductive substrate with said mixture; curing said mixture on said conductive substrate, thereby forming a coating having an initial thickness, a bottom surface which is in contact with said conductive substrate, and a top surface which is not in contact with said conductive substrate; removing a layer of said coating from said top surface of said coating, forming an exposed conductive area on at least a portion of said conductive particles on said top surface of said coating, wherein at least some of said conductive particles having said exposed conductive area on said top surface of said coating are simultaneously in contact with said conductive substrate on said bottom surface of said coating with direct conductive paths to said conductive substrate formed through said conductive particles; thereby forming said electrically conductive, corrosion-resistant coating of a final thickness.
