Researchers have demonstrated a new bilayer ceramic coating to extend the service life of tools needed in the machining of ...

As composites practitioners well know, tooling for composite parts is a challenge. Metal tools are the most robust option and support rate production, but they need to be carefully engineered to match ...

Manufacturers of tooling for CNC routers offer a bewildering array of choices. Once you get past basic issues like choosing upcut (maximum chip evacuation), downcut (clean top surface edge), ...

Powder coating is the process by which certain types of metal are coated with paint in a powder form. The part is sprayed with or dipped in the powder, which is electrostatically charged. The parts ...

Charts depict interaction of non-uniform substrate and geometry interface characteristics, upper segments, with coating characteristics, lower segment. Substrate, geometry and coating package ...

Powder coatings are created using polymeric resins that are combined with pigments, curatives, flow modifiers, leveling agents, and additional additives. They are both solvent- and water-free systems.

The authors experiment with a resonant acoustic mixer as a method for dry powder coating. Efficient handling and transport of fine-particle powders can be difficult because of the highly cohesive ...

Powder coating is a finish you’ll find quite often, as it’s no stranger to components exposed to the harshest environments. Hitches, suspension pieces, wheels, and even engine parts are all familiar ...
