Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel method of manufacturing a metal surface, for the purpose of creating a substrate suitable for coating, about a cylindrical core such as a fluid metering roll or fluid metering sleeve, comprised of carbon fiber composite, glass fiber composite, Kevlar fiber composite, other composite, foam, rubber, polymer, plastic, or any combination thereof. More particularly, it relates to a method for wrapping the cylindrical core with wire composed of aluminum, nickel, steel, stainless steel, or other metals or alloys thereof that may be formed into a wire of round, square, rectangular, or otherwise polygonal profile, and applying coatings of metal, ceramic or carbide or combinations thereof.
