Preparation for processing it for application 0f a non-metallic zinc phosphate for either corrosion protection or painting In metal cleaning it is generally overlooked that water plays the most important part. Its condition (hard or soft), and degrees thereof determines Read more…
Stainless steels are highly corrosion resistant—however, stainless steel applications can still remain at risk to surface damage. Oxidation, corrosion, rusting, or staining can occur over the long-term in harsh environments without routine cleaning and maintenance. Repeat mechanical damage also contributes Read more…
The selection of the proper coatings and treatments to be used for a wear resistant job is the most important step in doing the job successfully. Each wear coating has different characteristics of strength, shrinkage, hardness, and other qualities, such Read more…
Today, most metal fabricators and machine shops have two parts-cleaning options: aqueous water-based cleaning or solvent-based cleaning inside a vapor degreaser. Both methods can provide quality cleaning results. However, each has its distinct drawbacks and advantages. Aqueous or water cleaning Read more…
Q: We make component parts for agricultural equipment. Some of the parts are small brackets and some are very large parts with bolted components, welds and different metal thicknesses. We want to convert from liquid coating to powder coating and Read more…
Corrosion is an age-old problem, but some of the latest solutions are distinctly 21st century. Corrosion has been a problem for as long as human have used metals – it’s no coincidence that the metals we consider most precious are Read more…
Wear or abrasion resistant coatings have loads of applications, particularly in industrial production. These coatings are significantly more durable than regular ones because of their excellent ability to resist wear and tear. Whether it is high traffic roads, assets made Read more…
I recently came across an oil called ISOFORM 900 in the metal-forming process. Can you describe its physical properties and its equivalent use?” ISOFORM 900 is a product from Petrofer that is designed for cold-forming fluids, specifically those of steel, Read more…
