The parts are then rinsed with clean water and dried in

    Electrocoating, or e-coating, uses a system whereby a DC electrical charge is applied to a metal part immersed in a bath of oppositely charged paint particles. The metal part attracts the paint particles, forming an even film over the entire surface, until the coating reaches the desired thickness. E-coating was generally considered more cost efficient compared to traditional wet paint systems.…

Do not pour the primer directly into the spray gun cup but first place a strainer in and then pour in the primer. This strainer will get rid of any clumps or dirt that could ruin the spray gun. You may not need to use a spray gun though this ensures an even coat which is important when applying primer.”. After applying two coats of primer you will let it sit an hour to two hours to set and then come back and spray another one or two coats. “it will usually take two or three coats to cover the surface completely.

    (a) Metallic Corrosion. The deterioration of the surface of a metal due to a chemical reaction is called metallic corrosion. This occurs because metals come in contact with electrolyte mostly contaminated water. As it arises, it may go undetected and result in loss of integrity of metallic structures. Since metallic corrosion is directly related to structural integrity, there is a dire need to look into the ground environment where an aircraft is usually parked and the typical flight environment. Improved inspections including the use of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and the management of any corrosion found through effective repair techniques, mapping technologies and recording are neutralizing this aging cause. Also the use of protective coatings and surface treatments are being utilized to minimize the effects of metallic corrosion.…

    Surface preparation Surfaces are prepared by one of the following pretreatment procedures (listed in order of increasing effectiveness). 1. Degrease only. 2. Degrease, abrade and remove loose particles. 3. Degrease and chemically pretreat Care must be taken to avoid contaminating the surfaces during or after pretreatment. Wear clean gloves. Contamination may be caused by finger marking – or by cloths which are not perfectly clean – or by oil – contaminated abrasives – or by sub-standard degreasing or chemical solutions. Contamination may also be caused by other work processes taking place in the bonding area. Particularly to be excluded are oil vapours from machinery, spraying operations (paint, mould release-agent, etc.) and processes involving powdered materials. Whatever the pretreatment procedure used, it is good practice to bond the surfaces as soon as possible after completion of the pretreatment – i.e. when surface properties are at their best. Note If the scheduling of bonding operations on multi-part assemblies causes delay between pretreatment and…
