Q

what happens when powder is used in polymer dip coating

A

it is in a fluidised tank
air is blown into the bottom of the tank which makes the powedered plastic appear to bubble

Q

what is the process of galvanising q

A

steel is immersed into a molten bath of zinc
this creates a metalkirgical bond between the zinc and the steel making a verry effectve…..

Q

what happens in powder coating

A

the powder is positively charged. the object to be coated in negatively charged
the charge is sprayed onto the surface. the electrostatic charge means that it sticks evenly
it is then put into an oven, where the coating melts and forms a smooth, hardwearing surface

17
Q

what does anodising use

A

electrolysis

18
Q

what is anodising used on

A

aluminium and titanium - not steel

19
Q

what does the process create in anodising

A

creates an oxide layer that makes the surface smooth and protects from corrosion

20
Q

how does anodising work

A

the product is placed in a solution of sulphuric acid, sodium sulpate and water
the oxide layer is also to accept dyes of a variety of colours
