Description
This course will provide you practical knowledge at field of engineering coating selection and definition during mechanical development process based on required attributes for product functionality. The course is structured in parts. The logic behind the partition based on understanding that correct application of coating will be achieved by utilizing why, what, how strategy.
Why : understand why coating is required/beneficial for the particular application.
What: evaluate main attributes of the coating which enables required functionality.
How: select most appropriate coating based on required functional attributes & define fully to attain those attributes from the supplier at consistent manner.
1. Part 1 (Why)- introduce you to basics of: corrosion, mechanical wear and fatigue, embrittlement, electroplating process and environmental topics.
2. Part 2 (What & How) - discussion of main technical attributes of common engineering coatings:
· Electrodeposited Zinc (Zn) & Hot Dip Galvanizing ( Zn)
· Hard & decorative chromium ( Cr) on metals & plastics
· Engineering Nickel (Ni)
· Electroless Nickel (Ni) on metals & plastics
· Electrodeposited Silver (Ag)
· Electrodeposited Gold (Au)
· Phosphate conversion coating
· Thermal spray (Plasma, HVOF,...)
· Anodize
· Chromate conversion coating ( Alodine)
· Passivation
· Black oxide
3. Part 3 (What) - summary and preliminary coating selection tool based on main coating's attributes. The tool present coatings with its main attributes as catalogue for more efficient preliminary selection.
