An unfinished surface is often called mill finish. Surface finishing processes can be categorized by how they affect the workpiece: Removing or reshaping finishing; Adding or altering finishing; Mechanical processes may also be categorized together because of similarities in the final surface finish.
As a rule, plastic coatings have significantly higher film thicknesses than conventional paint. For polymer coating, powder coating is commonly used. [10] There are also options for wet coating, vacuum coating, dip coating, or thermal spraying. The coating can be applied to a polymer or a polymeric material.
A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, or substrate. [1] The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both. [ 2 ] Coatings may be applied as liquids , gases or solids e.g. powder coatings .
Application of the coatings is inexpensive and environmentally friendly. [1] Abradable coatings are made up of materials that will abrade, or wear off, when they rub against a mating surface. The coating acts as a sacrificial layer when it comes in contact with another surface so that the base material underneath is protected and remains unharmed.
The salt spray test (or salt fog test) is a standardized and popular corrosion test method, used to check corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings.Usually, the materials to be tested are metallic (although stone, ceramics, and polymers may also be tested) and finished with a surface coating which is intended to provide a degree of corrosion protection to the underlying metal.
The desired coating material is typically dissolved or suspended into a precursor solution or slurry (sometimes referred to as "ink") and delivered onto the surface of the substrate through a precise coating head known as a slot-die. The slot-die has a high aspect ratio outlet controlling the final delivery of the coating liquid onto the substrate.
