COATING TECHNIQUES
1. ORGANIC COATINGS
-
TECHNIQUE USED
-
DIP COATING
Robust technique for coating glass and plastic sheets with
uniform, thin films
PRINCIPLE
(i) Pull the substrate from the solution of the coating material after it is immersed in the solution for a while
(ii) A thin layer of the solution is coated on the substrate surface
(iii) After the solvent evaporates, a thin layer of the polymer forms
BAR COATERS
-
-
ROLL COASTER **
To apply liquid paint
onto aluminium, steel
and other materials.

-
FLOW COATING
:pencil2:Applied to substrate suspended vertically
whereby the coating materials flow via gravity :pencil2: is ideal for coating items with complex geometrical structures
PRINCIPLE
:check: Spraying a substrate with excessive amounts of lacquer or paints, or applying streams of coating materials to it
:check: The excess coating materials drip off and then are collected, filtered and automatically reintroduced to the lacquering system
:check: High application performance (~90%) as compare to spraying
:check:Low viscosity coating is usually used
ADVANTAGES
:fire:dust particles can be swept away
:fire:saving of coating materials
:fire:can be applied to just one side
2. METAL DEPOSITION
IMMERSION DEPOSITION
-
-
LIMITATION
:check:Porous and poorly adherent
:check:Rate of deposition declines with time
:check:Surface needs to be catalytically activated
-
ELECTROPLATING
Electrochemical process where metal ions are transferred from a solution and are deposited as a thin layer onto surface of a cathode in the presence of DC circuit
TYPES OF ELECTRPLATING
:star:Mass Plating
:star:Rack Plating
:star:Continuous Plating
:star:Line Plating
PLANNING FOR ELECTROPLATING
Step 1: Prepare samples
Step 2: Melt wax
Step 3: Cover in wax
Step 4: Electroplating
Step 5: Clean off sample
ELECTROLESS DEPOSITION

-
CHARACTERISTICS
:check:Must have an autocatalytic substrate
:check:Constant deposition rate with time
:check:Uniform deposit thickness
:check:Baths require good analytical control
:check:Baths have a short lifetime
3. ANODIZING ALUMINIUM
Is an electrochemical process which an aluminium oxide layer is chemically built on the surface of the aluminium metal
PRINCIPLE
When the current is applied, the water in the electrolyte breaks down and oxygen is deposited at the anode, this oxygen combines with Al to form oxide on the surface
-
CLEAR ANODIZING
Formation of translucent clear film
PROPERTIES
:check:Good corrosion resistance
:check:Moderate wear resistance
HARD ANODIZING
Formation of high density coating with
large cells and small pores
FORMATION
:check:Low temperature
:check:Low acidity
PURPOSE OF ANODIZING
:pencil2:Provide better adhesion
:pencil2:Increase corrosion & wear resistance
:pencil2:Hardening (Type III)
:pencil2:Cosmetic effects

RAW MATERIALS
:fountain_pen:Flux
:fountain_pen:Refractories
:fountain_pen:Oxidizing agent
:fountain_pen:Colouring agent
:fountain_pen:Floating agent
:fountain_pen:Electrolyte
:fountain_pen:Opacifiers
TECHNIQUE PROCESSES
(i) Mixture & Preparation of frit
(ii) Preparation of substrate
(iii)Coating method & firing
Dry Application: Enamel applied as dry powder
Wet Application: Enamel applied as liquid slurry suspension
(iv) Finishing process
GENERAL PROCESS
1) Frit is applied to metal using either wet or dry method
2) Fired at very high temperature
3)During the fusion process, the frits melts and a bond forms with the substrate
4)Resulting in a completely unique chemical finish that does not peel, flake or rust

7. DEPOSITION COATING
Vapour deposition is a coating technique, involving transfer of atomic level
USED FOR
:star:Improving hardness and wear resistance
:star:Reducing friction
:star:improving oxidation resistance
PHYSICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION
:check:Deposition of a material in the vapour phase onto a solid in a vacuum via evaporation
:check: involves purely physical processes
:red_cross:No chemical reactions take place
PRINCIPLE OF PVD
:fountain_pen:A material is converted to the gas phase by evaporation or sputtering on an atomic scale
:fountain_pen:Gas hits the samples to be coated
:fountain_pen:Movement to the samples and condensation on the surface of the sample
-
PROS

:fire:Any type of inorganic material can be used
:fire:Perfect adhesion
:fire:Enviromentally friendly
CONS
:forbidden: High capital cost
:forbidden:Rate of coating deposition quite slow
:forbidden:Requires large amount of heat
CHEMICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION
:check:A chemical process used to high-purity, high-performance solid materials or coatings
PRINCIPLE OF CVD
(i) Transport of reactants by forced convection to the deposition region
(ii) Transports of reactants by diffusion from the main stream
(iii) Adsorption of gaseous reactants onto heated wafer
(iv) Chemical decomposition takes place, produce deposits & by products
(v) Desorption of by-products
(vi) Transport of by-product by diffusion
PROS
