Abstract
A motor component covered with a novel electrocoating that fails to detrimentally affects magnetic memory medium provided in a hard disc or other is provided. With enhanced edge covering ratio, an improved insulation coating is easily formed on the motor component. An insulation coating is electrodeposited on an Nd--Fe--B system plastic magnet, a stacked core of silicon steel, a die-cast motor base of aluminum or other motor component through cationic electrodeposition. The electrodeposition paint for use includes 12 ppm or less of tin content in the aqueous solution, 0.5% or less by weight of carbon black content in the aqueous solution, and, instead, has titanium dioxide and/or silicon dioxide added to pigment. The electrodeposited insulation coating, which has a specified thickness, is heated to temperatures ranging between 40.degree. C. and 90.degree. C. After such preliminary curing, temperatures are again heated to between 150.degree. C. and 190.degree. C. In the hard disc drive unit assembled of such electrodeposited components, no tin is scattered therefrom, thereby protecting memory content from collapsing, and providing enhanced anticorrosion and insulation.
