A paint baking oven comprises an oven body and a hot air supplier that supplies hot air into the oven body. The paint baking oven bakes a wet coating applied to a vehicle body while conveying the vehicle body. The vehicle body includes a body exterior part and a narrow portion. The oven body is configured to include a spot baking region in which the hot air is blown primarily toward the narrow portion to locally bake a coating film applied to the narrow portion.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an aqueous coating composition having an excellent finished appearance, such as smoothness and distinctness of image, as well as metallic feel and no metallic mottling when the composition comprises an effect pigment; excellent coating film performance, such as water resistance; and excellent storage stability. The present invention provides an aqueous coating composition comprising (A) acrylic resin particles, (B) a water-soluble acrylic resin, and (C) a phosphoric acid compound represented by a specific formula and having hydrocarbon (and optionally polyoxyalkylene); and also provides a method for forming a coating film, comprising applying the aqueous coating composition, as well as an article coated with the aqueous coating composition.

Disclosed is a hot-stamping component, which includes a base steel plate; and a plated layer on the base steel plate and including a first layer, a second layer, and an intermetallic compound portion having an island shape in the second layer, wherein the first layer and the second layer are sequentially stacked, and an area fraction of the intermetallic compound portion with respect to the second layer is an amount of 20% to 60%.

The present disclosure provides a method for enhancing resistance to delamination of a coating layer applied to a rigid, monolithic substrate (204, 404). The method comprises forming a plurality of holes (208, 408) on the substrate (204, 404), to define passages from a first operative surface to a second operative surface of the substrate (204, 404). The first operative surface is coated with a first coating material and the second operative surface is coated with a second coating material, to obtain a first operative surface having a first coating layer (202, 402), and a second operative surface having a second coating layer (206, 406). A portion of the first coating material and/or the second coating material is allowed to flow through the passages to configure contiguous ties (210, 410) between the first and the second coating layer. The contiguous ties formed between the first and the second coating layer aid in enhancing the resistance to delamination of the coating layer applied to the rigid, monolithic substrate (204, 404).
