In a method for the high-speed coating of the inner surface of a blank (1), preferably a can, the blank (1) rotates about it axis of rotation and a coating is applied to an inner surface of the blank (1). In order to allow for an increase in production rates and for a homogeneous coating of the inner surface of the blank (1), even with low coating thicknesses, without causing an increase in operating costs, a gas flow (10) is blown into the blank (1) via a nozzle (9) to accelerate the blank (1) and to distribute the coating in the direction of the axis of rotation (12).

Provided herein is a device for forming a conductive film. The device includes a deposition device and an air supply. The deposition device is configured to form a wet film having conductive nanostructures and a fluid carrier on a web. The web is moved in a first direction while forming the wet film. The air supply is disposed at a side of the web and configured to apply an air flow onto the wet film. The air flow is directed onto the wet film in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to reorient a direction of some conductive nanostructures in the wet film to define reoriented conductive nanostructures.

The present invention relates to a method for coating a component of a turbomachine in a bath, in which method, the component is partially immersed in the bath containing a coating material; the component is rotated at least intermittently around an axis of rotation, which lies outside of the bath, during the at least partial immersion; the component is at most immersed partially over and beyond the rotation.

A material deposition device for decorating an object. The device has a housing as a structural framework, an object holder, and a container releasably coupled to the housing. The housing has an object support for supporting the object to be decorated. The container creates a volumetric enclosure with the housing. The device is configured to deposit decoration materials onto the object.

Methods of producing an additive manufactured part with a smooth surface finish and customized properties include creating a compensated design that serves as a print recipe for an additive manufacturing process for a part, where the creating comprises modifying a desired design with a geometric offset correction to compensate for a first portion of an uncured surface finish material to be retained on the part. A spinning device is provided that has a platform. The part is formed with the additive manufacturing process and secured to the platform, where the part is at least partially wetted with the uncured surface finish material. The platform is rotated, where a second portion of the uncured surface finish material is removed due to forces imparted by the rotating. The uncured surface finish material is chosen to customize a property of the part.

A method of applying to a crown surface of a piston, a heat shield material for forming a heat shield layer, is provided. The method includes masking the piston with a masking member, the masking member including a first part that covers at least part of a side surface of the piston with a first clearance between the side surface and the first part, and a second part that covers an outer circumferential part of the crown surface with a second clearance between the outer circumferential part and the second part, and applying the heat shield material, while the piston is masked.

There is disclosed a selective wetting apparatus comprising a roller rotatable about a roller axis and comprising a wettable roller surface; an applicator unit having a lip which extends parallel to the roller axis and is radially spaced apart from the roller surface by a gap, wherein the applicator unit is to convey liquid agent towards the roller so that the liquid agent forms a liquid bridge over the gap to wet a wetted axial portion of the roller surface; and a flow guide to direct a gas flow into a regulated axial portion of the gap to locally prevent formation of a liquid bridge, and thereby prevent wetting of a corresponding axial portion of the roller surface.

Provided is a method for decorating a kitchen item by means of mechanical treatment in order to produce a decoration. The mechanical treatment involves removing and/or displacing part of a thermostable decorative composition by means of pressure and moving a tool or a compressed air jet over the surface of the decorative layer.

A window coating jig includes: a base part and a stage which includes a support part, a first sidewall part surrounding the support part and defining an outer wall, and a second sidewall part disposed between the support part and the first sidewall part, and protrudes from the base part, wherein a blow groove is defined between the first sidewall part and the second sidewall part, a suction groove is defined between the second sidewall part and the support part, the base part has a blow hole and a suction hole passing through the base part, the blow hole and the suction hole being defined therein, the blow hole overlaps the blow groove, the suction hole overlaps the suction groove, and the first sidewall part has a vent opening passing therethrough in a direction crossing the direction in which the blow hole extends, the vent opening being defined therein.

A coating film forming method includes holding a substrate by a substrate holder; forming an air flow on a front surface of the substrate; supplying a coating liquid configured to form a coating film on the front surface; forming, after moving a covering member from a first position to a second position relatively to the substrate, the air flow in a gap formed by the covering member placed at the second position and the front surface of the substrate being rotated at a first rotation number such that a flow velocity of the air flow becomes larger than that of the air flow obtained when the covering member is placed at the first position; and rotating the substrate at a second rotation number higher than the first rotation number to adjust a film thickness distribution of the coating film by scattering the coating liquid from a peripheral portion thereof.
