摘要 The present invention is concerned with steel razor blades having a fluorocarbon polymeric coating thereon and more particularly with processes for producing improved blades of that nature. Generally, the improvements are brought about by providing a thin, cubic iron oxide layer beneath the polymeric coating.
权利要求
  • 2. A process as defined in claim 1 wherein said blade is a carbon steel blade.
  • 3. A process as defined in claim 1 wherein said cubic iron oxide layer is in the range of about 50 to 800 Angstroms in thickness.
  • 4. A process as defined in claim 1 wherein essentially the entire surface area immediately underlying said fluorocarbon polymer coating on said cutting edge is covered by said cubic iron oxide.
  • 5. A process as defined in claim 1 wherein said blade is a carbon steel blade and said cubic iron oxide layer is in the range of about 50 to 800 Angstroms in thickness.
  • 6. A process as defined in claim 1 wherein the fluorocarbon polymeric coating is polytetrafluoroethylene.
  • 7. A process as defined in claim 1 wherein said cubic iron oxide layer is formed during the sintering step by carrying out said sintering in a limitedly oxidizing atmosphere.
  • 8. A process as defined in claim 7 wherein the blade is a carbon steel blade and the cubic oxide is in the range of about 50 to 800 Angstroms in thickness.
  • 9. A process as defined in claim 1 wherein said cubic oxide layer is formed prior to the sintering step.
  • 10. A process as defined in claim 1 wherein said cubic oxide layer is formed subsequent to the sintering step.
  • 11. In a process of applying a fluorocarbon polymeric coating to a steel blade cutting edge and sintering the coating to adhere it to the edge, the improvement of carrying out the sintering step in a slightly oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature between 600* and 750* F. for a time which will provide a cubic iron oxide layer in a range of about 50 to 800 Angstroms in thickness over a major portion of the surface of the cutting edge immediately underlying said fluorocarbon polymeric coating.
