Study Notes

Coating Methods

  • Nickel Plating: A protective coating that forms a good base for chrome plating, improving corrosion resistance and appearance.

  • Paint Coating (Slushing): Used to protect metal parts from corrosion and enhance appearance. Three stages involved: surface prep, priming, and painting/drying with finishing. Preparation includes cleaning, degreasing, priming (oil-varnish, oleo-bituminous, water-soluble, nitro-soluble primers), putting on a filler (thin layers of oil-varnish or quick-drying pyroxylin) smoothing the surface.

  • Methods of Painting:

    • Brush Painting: Slow, labor-intensive method for small-lot production, using quick-drying paints. Significant paint loss (up to 5%).
    • Spray Painting: Common, high-volume method using atomized paint; various types (mechanical, air, airless, electrostatic). Automated systems used. Electrostatic spraying has low paint loss (less than 5%) and high productivity (50 m² of surface per hour).
    • Dip Coating (Dipping): Used in mass production for simple parts suspended in a paint bath.
    • Flow Coating: Parts are put in positions where paint flows over them.
    • Drum Painting: For small parts in high volume production where parts are rotated in a drum.
    • Various Varnishes: Mixtures of synthetic or natural resins in solvents like turpentine oil, alcohol, or methylated spirit. Added drying agents; for protection and decoration. "Spirit varnish" is quick-drying but prone to cracking. "Oil varnish" is durable and lustrous, but takes longer to dry.

Drying

  • Natural Drying: Takes place at temperatures between 18°C to 25°C over a long period of time.

  • Artificial Drying: Faster drying method involving convection heating (using gas, electricity, or steam), electric lamps, high-frequency currents (induction heating), and infrared rays. Times vary depending on the type of paint (e.g., nitro-enamels dry in 30-40 minutes, oil/spirit enamels 24-48 hours).

Finishing

  • Varnishing: Improves the stability and gloss of the paint by using varnish coatings.

  • Polishing: Used to create a smooth, glossy surface using felt wheels and polishing pastes.

  • Decorative Design: Adding patterns, lines, or trade marks to the painted surface for aesthetic appeal.

Temporary Coatings

  • Temporary Coatings (Corrosive Proofing): Used for parts in storage or transit. Easily removed without damaging the underlying surface (e.g., Vaseline, Rifle grease, anti-corrosion varnishes; 30% sodium nitride solution in water).

Adhesive Bonds

  • Advantages:
    • Reliable bonding of thin materials
    • Joining dissimilar materials
    • Reduced production costs
    • Reduction in part weight
    • Highly skilled labor is not required
    • Provides corrosion-free joints
    • Provides smooth bonded surfaces
    • Tolerates thermal stresses of differential expansion and contraction
    • Good load distribution and fatigue resistance

Adhesive Bonding Process

  • Preparation of part surfaces (cleaning, degreasing, machining if necessary).
  • Adhesive preparation and application using brushes, sprayers, or specialized injecting tools.
  • Parts assembly and clamping with forces of 0.05-1.0MN/m².
  • Heating to cure the adhesive, with temperature and time varying based on adhesive type (e.g., cold curing adhesives need 150-160°C for 1.5-4 hours; hot curing adhesives 150-160°C for 3-4 hours, 180-190°C for 1.5-2 hours).
  • Use of various adhesives - epoxy, phenol-resin, polyurethane, and more.

Surface Coatings for Tooling

  • Hard Facing: Welding technique to create a hard surface layer on a tough body, for wear resistance. (already in chapter 5).
  • Nitriding Case Hardening: Increases the surface hardness of low carbon steels.
  • Hard Chrome Plating: Electroplating technique for providing wear resistance.
  • Flame Plating: Used for cutting tools and high-heat applications with tungsten carbide, chromium carbide, or aluminum oxide coatings.

Fine Blanking

  • A method that creates precise blanks with clean-cut, perpendicular edges and smooth surfaces. Uses a special die and a counter punch to eject the blank. Significantly reduces the need for secondary operations.
  • Cleans surfaces, eliminates burrs after blanking. Materials can be metals or non-metals.

Nosing

  • A hot or cold forming process for closing the open end of a shell or tubular component. Using a shaped die with axial pressure.
