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…
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…
There is a growing interest in conversion coatings based on titanium and/or zirconium as the result of the health and environmental issues associated with legacy chromate and phosphate conversion coatings. Any alternative technology should be environmentally friendly and cost effective, Read more…
According to Corrosionpedia: Galvanic corrosion (also called bimetallic corrosion or dissimilar metal corrosion) is a deteriorative electrochemical process that occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact with each other in the presence of an electrolyte. This type of corrosion Read more…
According to The Clinton Courier: Surface treatment is the process of changing the molecular makeup of a surface so that it interacts with an adhesive ink, coating, paint, or another surface to form a strong bond. Surface treatments come in Read more…
According to Machinery Lubrication: Corrosion costs companies billions of dollars each year. Much of this loss is due to the corrosion of iron and steel. When exposed to moisture and oxygen, iron and steel will react, forming an oxide. This Read more…
According to Products Finishing: Convert: To change into another form, substance or state. In the case of phosphate conversion coatings, the substrate metal participates in the coating reaction and becomes a component of the coating. Phosphate conversion coatings are formed Read more…
