Metal Finishes Flashcards
- mechanical means
- applied on a metallic substance
- includes cleaning and chemical pre-treatment; 1 or 2-side, single or multiple application of liquid or powder coating materials
Coating (organic)
- non-metallic coating
- coating with a non-transparent formulation containing pigments
Painting/ Enameling
- non-metallic coating
- coating with a formulation based on a dissolved material which forms a transparent layer after drying; increases corrosion resistance
Lacquering
- non-metallic coating
- dip coating; steels are dipped in this; looks like latex paint
Plastic and Nylon Coating
- mechanical means
- continuous coating of a material strip; applied in steel and aluminum
Coil Coating
- mechanical means
- single coating of any type with no particular requirements for appearance
- usually reverse side of the coated product
Backing Coat
- mechanical means
- treatment of metal with chemical solutions by dipping or spraying to build up an oxide film
Chemical Conversion Coating
- mechanical means
- application of a priming paint
Priming
- mechanical means
- application of a solution (resin, chromate, and acid)
Pretreatment Priming
- mechanical means
- single coating; like primer with special properties regarding adhesion and corrosion protection
Single Coat System
- mechanical means
- system comprising with a primer or a base coat, intermediate coat(s), and a top coat
Multiple Coat System
- mechanical means
- dry paint film of the coated product
Organic Coating
- mechanical means
- organic film applied to a substrate
Film Coating
- mechanical means
- process of applying a thin coating of an expensive anti-corrosive metal
- chrome plate, nickel plate, bronze plate, silver plate, zinc plate
Metallic Coating
- chemical means
- chemical treatment to improve the optical reflectivity of a surface
Chemical Brightening
