K BAR COATING
Wired K Bars are produced by winding precision drawn
stainless steel wire onto a stainless steel rod resulting in a
pattern of identically shaped grooves. These grooves
precisely control the wet film thickness. Close wound bars
will produce coating thicknesses from 4 to 120µm. Still
higher coating weights up to 500µm can be obtained using
open wound bars.
Special K Bars to apply intermediate wet film deposits are
manufactured to customer requirements. We stock wire
diameters giving the choice of the following deposits
(microns) when close wound.
4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36,
38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68,
