Title: Method of making a composite article consisting of rubber bonded to a metal body
IPC: C08J5/06
Filed: 1971-11-17
Abstract: 1354750 Coating metal with rubber BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE 17 Nov 1971 [18 Nov 1970] 53465/71 Heading B2E The adhesion of a metal body surface to rubber is increased by forming a carbon layer on the metal body surface. The metal body may be steel wires, plates, bands, tubes. The carbon layer may be applied by evaporation under vacuum in an appropriate chamber. Immeditely after the application of the carbon layer at least one gas selected from hydrogen and gaseous hydrocarbons may be admitted to the chamber at ambient temperature and this gas maintained at atmospheric pressure in contact with the carbon layer for a time sufficient to saturate the carbon layer. The carbon may be evaporated by an electric arc produced between two carbon electrodes, or by a carbon body heated by Youle effect, cathode pulverisation or sputtering. The metal surface may be previously degreased and/or subjected to an ion bombardment such as an electric discharge in an inert gas atmosphere under low pressure. Alternatively the carbon layer may be applied by decomposition of a gaseous carbon-containing compound such as a hydrocarbon, carbon disulphide, halogenated carbon compounds by bringing the compounds into contact with the surface of the metal body heated to a temperature to effct decomposition. Further, carbon layers on metals or metal alloys containing carbon may be formed by subjecting the metal body to a corrosive_treatment affecting the metal body to certain depth from its surface, e.g. by an electrolytic treatment in an electrolytic bath in which the metal body is used as the anode, and then removing at least the major portion of the metal from the portion subjected to this treatment whilst the carbon is retained. In an Example carbon steel wire for reinforcing tyre carcasses is degreased in an acetone bath, stretched, subjected to ion bombardment in an argon atmosphere, then passed between two electric arcs of carbon electrodes in a vacuum so as to deposit a 10 angstroms thick carbon coating. The coated wire is then treated in an hydrogen atmosphere and coated with a natural rubber composition. In another Example carbon steel wire is degreased with acetone, then subjected to an electrolytic corrosive treatment in an electrolytic bath formed from an aqueous solution of diluted hydrochloric acid at 20C., the steel wire being used as the anode while a cathode of copper is used. The resulting carbon layer is dried in air and then heated.
