Abstract

See full text

A metallic tape blade may be substantially coated with a powder and then passed through an induction unit to heat the powder and form a coating on the blade, with the blade having a concavo-convex cross-section when passing through the induction unit. Alternatively, the metallic tape blade is substantially covered with a powder consisting essentially of nylon having a particle size of 20 microns or less and then passed through an induction unit to heat the blade and form a nylon coating derived from the powder thereon. Alternatively, a nylon coating is applied to the metallic tape blade, with the coating having a thickness of not more than 0.0015 inches and an abrasion resistance according to ASTM D968-81 of at least 30 liters of sand. One or more of these aspects may be combined to form a tape blade having a protective coating thereon.
