A quick, practical and economical method, machine and system for re-basecoating cans which have necks, flanges but also have basecoat and or decoration defects. The cans may pass by a corona /plasma treatment which removes lubricant. A main starwheel will carry the cans to a can body coating application device (such as a high durometer resilient roller), then to a can neck coating application device (similar but shaped for the neck/flange of the can). The main starwheel will carry the cans through an induction tunnel in which cans have an electrical current induced, thereby curing the cans before the cans are removed by an outfeed device and placed onto an outfeed conveyor. Hold down chucks hold the cans from the top (in addition to vacuum chucks holding the cans from the bottom) and cover the top of the cans so that the new coating material does not enter.

A glue application roller for use in a gluing assembly equipped with at least one scooping roller includes a glue roller body that is provided with a central hole to receive a drive shaft. The glue roller body has at least two parts including a base and an outer ring. The base is operatively connected to the drive shaft by a non-positive fit. The outer ring is configured with at least one cavity. The base and the outer ring are coupled to each other non-positively via at least one first means. On at least one side of the glue roller body, there are second means that ensure that compressed air and/or another gaseous or liquid medium is fed into or discharged from the cavity so as to effectuate a change in a circumferential contour of the cavity.

An electrical steel sheet (1) includes a base material (2) of electrical steel, and an insulating film (3) formed on a surface of the base material (2), the insulating film (3) containing a polyvalent metal phosphate and Fe. A maximum value of a parameter Q expressed by “Q=C.sub.Fe—O/C.sub.P” is equal to or less than 1.3 times an average value of the parameter Q in a region from a first depth from a surface of the insulating film to a second depth, C.sub.Fe—O denoting a proportion (atom %) of Fe bonded to O relative to all elements, and C.sub.P denoting a proportion (atom %) of P relative to all elements. The first depth is 20 nm from the surface, and the second depth is a depth where the proportion of P is equal to a proportion of metal Fe.

A method for enhancing optical properties of sintered, zirconia ceramic bodies and zirconia ceramic dental restorations is provided. The porous or pre-sintered stage of a ceramic body is treated with an yttrium-containing composition and sintered, resulting in sintered ceramic bodies having enhanced optical properties. The enhanced optical properties may be substantially permanent, remaining for the useful life of the sintered ceramic body.

The present invention relates to a process for leather edge painting. More particularly, the present invention relates to the process [200] wherein the liquid edge paint is converted to solid colour sticker film [205]. More particularly, the present invention relates to the process wherein the liquid edge paint is converted to solid colour sticker film on a transparent film [205], and transferring from the transparent paper to the edges of a substrate material. Further, the process of the present invention provides liquid edge paint transferred to the substrate edge for one or more applications.
