A method for applying a waterproof coating to a transducer component includes the steps of cleaning and promoting bonding on the transducer component by immersing the component in a mixture of isopropyl alcohol, deionized water, and siline. The component is then air dried and rinsed in pure isopropyl alcohol. After drying, the component is vacuum baked and subjected to a vacuum for twelve hours. A parylene coating is provided to the component surface. The parylene coating is abraded, and the surface is rinsed with pure isopropyl alcohol. After drying, polyurethane is provided on the abraded parylene surface. The polyurethane is cured to form a waterproof coating on the transducer component. In further embodiments, a second parylene coating can be provided outside the polyurethane.

Coated grain oriented electrical steel plates and methods of producing the same are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method includes producing molten steel with from about 2.5 to about 4 weight percent silicon, from about 0.005 to about 0.1 weight percent carbon, and from about 90 to about 97.5 weight percent iron.
