the inventors of the roll of this invention measured the wear of the roll by observing the state of the canvas roll covered by fluororesin ( pfa resin ) for 200 μm for 12 months . for a canvas roll of length l , the fluororesin in the l / 4 sections extending inward from the ends of the roll was worn away leaving the raw steel pipe in the exposed state . it is understood that the reason of unusual loss is the unsymmetrical pressing of the canvas belt against the roll because there is a high canvas belt tension in this part by examining the relation of unusual loss of canvas and roll . further , it was found by examination that the phenomenon of the unsymmetrical pressing of the canvas is a common phenomenon in paper - making machines . when the contamination state of the said canvas roll was investigated , it was found that there were no deposits or sticking of pitch and paper powder on the exposed part of the raw steel and where the fluororesin of the canvas roll was significantly worn . where there was still some fluororesin on the roll , a number of small pieces of solidified pitch were completely buried in the remaining fluororesin . at other sections along the roll where canvas tension was not as high , the state of the roll attaching paper powder was observed . thus , as the undesirable phenomena that the fluororesin on a specific part in the canvas roll is worn unusually or that may solidified pitches are buried into the remaining fluororesin on the roll , should be accelerated by the recent tendency to strengthen the canvas tension , therefore , the extensive investigation on the production of wear - resistant fluororesin and improvement of the surface construction of the roll have been undertaken . in order to know about the non - contaminant and the wear - resistant properties of the canvas roll , a test roll 10 shown in fig3 was examined after the surfaces of the rolls were coated uniformly with various materials . the middle part of the roll 10 was covered thickly by a tape 11 to artificially asymmetrically press the canvas . then , the canvas 8 was contaminated artificially . at the same time , an aqueous suspension 12 of chromium oxide , which is used as a polishing material , was sprayed over a part of the canvas as shown in fig4 to accelerate wear of the surface of the canvas roll . the canvas was driven continuously for 120 hours under canvas tension t = 1 . 8 kg / cm and continuously heated by heater 13 . in the figure , a roll 10a coated by fluororesin and a roll 10b coated by chromium are shown . the test roll used for examination is the non - coated steel pipe , or the steel pipe coated by fluororesin ( pfa resin ), chromium plating , non - electrolytic nickel plating , chromium carbide etc . the length of the roll was l = 500 mm and the width of the canvas was w = 400 mm . the results of the wear acceleration examination are shown in table 1 and table 2 . the evaluation of the test roll is divided into the a sections , the outer sections of the test roll of fig3 and the b section , the middle section of the test roll . the rotational speed of the canvas roll 10 was 600 m / min . table 1______________________________________evaluation of the outer sections ( a parts ) ofcanvas rolls under tension non -

electrolytic nickel plating are almost equal at the outer end sections of the roll . also , these coatings were not significantly contaminated . the roll coated with fluororesin had clearly non - contaminant properties , but some of the polishing material was buried in the fluororesin at the outer ends of the roll . the roll made by steel pipe was significantly contaminated by the polishing material . with regard to the non - contaminant properties at the middle section of the roll of the coated materials , it was clearly found that it is most superior in the order of fluororesin , then chromium plating , then non - electrolytic nickel plating and chromium carbide and then steel pipe . the chromium - plating , non - electrolytic nickel plating and chromium carbide showed no sign of wear owing to the short testing time . there were , however , some scratches . there was notable wear in the roll made by steel pipe without coating . on the other hand , it was found that extensive wear developed and was observed significant static electricity was discharged by in the roll covered with fluororesin in a short time . there were no changes other than the static electric discharge and a minor wear observed in fluororesin of any test rolls at the lower part of the canvas tension . in conclusion , it is necessary to pay attention to the wear - resistant properties rather that the non - contaminant properties at the outer ends of the roll tension , and to pay attention to the high degree of non - contaminant properties rather than the wear - resistance at the middle section of the roll according to the above results . b . study to prevent production of static electricity and examination of wear - resistance properties . in order to prevent contamination at the middle of the roll , while some difficulties occur due to unusual wear due to the embedding of the pitch , it was found that fluororesin is a highly suitable coating material for coating the roll . however , it is desirable to improve the fluororesins &# 39 ; wear - resistant properties because there is also more wear due to the rubbing motion of the fluororesin against the canvas belt : at the middle of the roll . the fluororesin was prepared by adding various fillers into pfa resin which can be painted with electrostatic powder possible , and was limited to use . then the surface of the steel ring of length 100 mm and diameter 360 mm was coated with the fluororesin added various fillers for a thickness of 150 μm as a target . the wear acceleration experiment of the fluororesin by which giving a tension to the canvas continuously and pressing the surface of the fluororesin - coated ring compulsorily through the canvas was tested . for this test , the tension on the canvas was not 1 . 8 kg / cm , which is the typical tension imposed on the canvas during the paper making process . instead , during the wear promotion experiment , the canvas was subjected to different tensions . the experiment time was 24 hours for each tension exposure . the results are shown in table 3 . from this test , it is clear that the wear qualities of the fluororesin rubbed against the canvas belt vary according to the filler added . it was found that the fluororesin with the superior wear - resistant effects are the ones with carbon or carbon fiber . in table 3 , as used for comparison , the wear acceleration experiment of chromium plating , non - electrolytic nickel plating , chromium carbide by thermal method , etc ., have been done at the same time , but no wear was observed . table 3__________________________________________________________________________fluororesin coating with additives wear rate measured coating wear at given belt tensionsno . fillers additional quantity 3 . 85 kg / cm 5 . 90 kg / cm 7 . 27 kg / cm__________________________________________________________________________1 no addendum ( natural ) 15 ( capacity %) 10 μm 36 μm 75 μm2 silicon carbide 15 ( capacity %) 4 μm 12 μm 26 μm3 glass fiber 15 ( capacity %) 11 μm 19 μm 39 μm4 carbon 15 ( capacity %) 2 μm 4 μm 4 μm5 carbon fiber 15 ( capacity %) 1 μm 3 μm 4 μm6 bronze 15 ( capacity % 12 μm 22 μm 57 μm7 chromium for comparison 0 μm 0 μm 0 μm ( plating ) 8 non -

coated roll , 8 is a canvas ( hbt - 806 , 400 w × 14 . 1 m made by shikishima canvas ltd . ), 15 is a substitute ring for canvas roll , which is shown in detail in fig6 is a spring balance for measuring the external pressure , 17 is a turnbuckle for setting the external pressure , 18 is a heater for heating the fluororesin coated roll 14 . it was found that the wear - resistant properties of the fluororesin against the rubbing motion of canvas is enhanced by the addition of carbon or carbon fiber as a filler . further studies with other fillers , i . e ., carbon mixed with graphite , graphite itself , carbon mixed with molybdenum disulfide , led to similar discoveries . suitable quantities for additional fillers are 1 to 40 %, preferably 5 to 30 %, by volume to the volume of fluororesin used . fillers which can be applied to electrostatic painting or fluid soaking can be added to the fluororesin . a canvas roll , the surface of which is coated with the fluororesin containing a suitable amount of the above fillers , may last considerably longer when compared with the one coated with natural fluororesin . however , it is believed that some wear will occur due to the higher canvas tension that occurs near the ends of the roll , because the fluororesin is an organic material though the filler - soaker fluororesin has a longer life than that of prior fluororesins as wear - acceleration experiments show . accordingly , the inventors have decided to rely on the finding that adhesion of pitches does not significantly occur if the ends of canvas roll are relatively hard and are formed of material not prone to contamination such as chromium plating , non - electrolytic nickel plating , metal and cermet thermal spray coat that have the desirable non - contaminant properties . from the examination of the ends of the roll , the inventors found that the wear - resistance can be improved simultaneously with the prevention of pitch contamination if sections of at least l / 4 in length from the ends of the roll of length l are coated with one of the selected metals or alloys so as to form a uniform coplanar surface with the fluororesin covered at the middle part of the roll . strictly speaking , it is usually necessary to change the coating range with the metal or alloy depending upon the width of canvas , the kind of the canvas , the canvas tension , and the driving speed of the paper - making machine . it was found that a coating range with a selected metal or alloy fall into within the above setting range on the length l of the canvas roll under any circumstances . further , it is possible to use if every metals or alloys has moderate hardness and non - contaminant property as mentioned above , which can be used for coating on the both ends of the canvas roll , but especially , it is desirable to use one of the following metals , i . e ., chromium plating , non - electrolytic nickel plating , tungsten carbide , chromium carbide , and nickel - chromium alloy etc . it is possible to provide the metal layers with polished surfaces . however , it is more desirable to provide them with rough surfaces to prevent slippage of the canvas belt . the reason why it is not necessary to care for non - contaminant property at the ends of the canvas roll is that there are no crevices between the canvas belt and the canvas roll for alien substances , such as pitch contaminates , to enter because of the high tension of the canvas caused by the unsymmetrical pressing , and there is an effect to remove the contaminants physically as soon as they have been attached . the canvas roll is of steel pipe ( l 4 , 140 mm × φ280 mm ) plated by chromium , and was fired after being painted with primer after a groove is formed in the middle part that is lower than 0 . 2 mm around the sections , 1 , 040 mm from the ends of the roll . the middle part is the painted electrostatically with pfa resin containing 10 % capacity of carbon fiber in 0 . 3 mm thick as a target . the roll was then fired for one hour at 380 ° c . the roll which has a uniform , coplanar outer surface that has surface in order of the chromium plating at one end , fluororesin in the middle and chromium plating at the other end . the fluororesin surface is polished to form the uniform surface . the roll abuts the canvas that touches directly the wet paper and is driven by the dryer part of the paper making machine at a speed of 800 m / min . the fluororesin near the ends of the canvas roll was worn to make the steel pipe to expose and to occur pitch contaminant . at the same time , the attaching and burying of solidified pitch over remaining fluororesin after the prior canvas roll coated by the fluororesin was operated for 6 months . it was not sign to find the attaching pitch and wearing after using the canvas roll of this invention for one year . moreover , the roll of this invention prevents the production of static electricity and sparking discharge , because the middle part of the roll is covered by the fluororesin containing conductive carbon fiber . thus , the canvas roll of this invention , in which the both ends of the roll are covered with a metal alloy coat 2 with spaced apart outer end sections that overlie the main body of the roll 1 with wear - resistant and non - contaminant properties and the middle part is covered with fluororesin containing wear - resistant fillers with conductive property and lubricity such as carbon and carbon fiber , can be used for a long period of time . the roll also prevents static electricity from developing by which the filler itself has a conductive character and the rate of voluminal resistance of the fluororesin can be lowered indirectly . it should be mentioned here that the roll of this invention can be used not only for the paper making machine as a canvas roll , but also for the plastic film - making and plastic sheet - making machines , and it is extraordinarily useful when the edges of the plastic sheet or film makes the surface of the roll covered with fluororesin wear unusually . the roll with composite coats of this invention is coated with harder material than the raw material at the both ends and coated with plastic at the middle part so as to have a uniformly concentric outer surface . if , however , both ends of the canvas roll of the paper making machine have a proper hardness and non - contaminant property and the finding which the pitch contaminant did not occur was used positively , the plastic with a good mold releasing property as to the fluororesin was not necessary to use , but the wear - resistant property can be raised on the both ends . on the other hand , the pitch problems can be minimized by using the plastic with a good mold releasing property as to the fluororesin having the wear resistant property at the middle part other than the both ends of the paper making machine . there was one result which can give full play to the excellent wear resistant property and non - contaminant property by the roll , in special , the roll of the paper making machine was covered by the any one of the chromium plating , non - electrolytic nickel plating by plating method , or cermet and alloy by thermal spray method . further , there is also a result which prevents the production of static electricity and improves wear resistant properties notably against the rubbing motion with the canvas by which the fluororesin used as the plastic covering over the part other than the both ends of the roll was attached by any one of the following fillers , i . e ., carbon , carbon fiber , carbon plus graphite , carbon fiber plus graphite , carbon plus molybdenum disulfide , and carbon fiber plus molybdenum disulfide .
