Effect of roughness on the bond strength of decorative coating applied by cold gas-dynamic spraying

The adhesion strength of joints obtained by cold gas-dynamic spraying (CGDS) on cast iron base has been investigated. It is known that corrosion resistance of CGDS coatings is largely determined not only by the nature of the sprayed material, but also by its adhesion properties. This paper is a method for predicting the adhesion strength of a protective and decorative coating, which is a useful tool for engineers when studying the effect of certain technological parameters on the adhesion strength of cold gas-dynamic spraying. The results of an experimental study of pretreated surfaces and powder materials are presented. The optimum heating temperature was determined and a choice of material and method of substrate processing which ensures maximum adhesion strength under given technological conditions was substantiated. It was shown that the temperature of heating of the product surface essentially influences the adhesion strength of the coating. Besides the quality of the preprocessed surface is one of the factors providing the coating adhesion strength to the substrate. The dependences of the influence of the temperature of heating of the sample and the roughness of the surface on the adhesion strength are presented. The use of cold gas-dynamic spraying as a method providing high strength properties of copper and zinc protective-decorative coatings is proved.

Optimum Composition of Developed Additive Based Insect Repellent Paint

Active compounds of Cymbopogon winterianius, Cymbopogoncitratus, Rosmarinus officinalis, Cedrus, and Eugenol, have been reported to have different insect repellant compounds. Control and development of natural insect repellent additive based decorative coating has driven this work to incorporate the essential oils with long chain fatty acids in water-based lab developed conventional paint. In this work, the Additive based Paint was formulated and its ability to repel different insects was determined. The optimum composition of developed additive based paint was determined by three standard paint analyses which were adhesion, elasticity and insect repellency. As per challenge of Pigment powder and Polymer use for such paint is achieved by testing on Latest instruments. The best composition of additive in paint was found to be 15%. Where it able to repel Pavement Ants, non-biting Flies, Mosquitoes and Black field ant with 80% efficiency. It is envisioned that the formulated paint is effectively function as insect repellent thus as an alternative way to reduce the insect-borne diseases.

Adsorptive extraction of chromium (VI) ions from corrosive aqueous solutions

Chromium is one of the most effective metals used for protection and decorative coating of various products. However, chrome plating typically occurs in a strongly acid medium, thus involving the formation of dangerous and corrosive solutions. In this article, we investigate the possibility of removing chromium from such solutions using carbon adsorbents, which allow for almost complete extraction of the metal from production solutions up to a residual content of no more than 0.05 mg/dm3. A significant advantage of carbon adsorbents is their ability to extract chromium (VI) ions without chromium reduction to the trivalent state. It was established that the sorbent under study exhibits the maximum sorption capacity in a strongly acidic medium at pH = 1.2–2.5. This medium causes the formation of a Cr2O7 2- dimer in the solution, which is an adsorbed ion. A scheme of a production unit for chromium adsorption from solutions of electrochemical production was proposed. The choice of an adsorber with a fluidized bed was determined by the maximal interaction of the flow with the adsorbent in such reactors. The adsorber design in the form of a cylindrical column with tapered upper and lower parts assumes installation of distribution grids inside the apparatus. It is proposed to forward the chromium-containing solution of electrochemical production remained after the averaging tank directly to the adsorber with the loading of the carbon adsorbent. In order to ensure the continuity of the extraction mode, it is necessary to apply two parallel working adsorbers, whose technical parameters were calculated to be as follows: the diameter of 1.2 m; the height of 7.5 m; the loading volume of 5.9 m3; and the loading height of 6 m. The calculated process parameters were determined: the linear flow rate along the walls of the adsorber – 12.75 m/h; the duration of the apparatus operation before coal regeneration – 21 days. The proposed scheme can be recommended for recycling water supply.

Development of organosilicon decorative coating with craquelure effect

The article analyzes coatings based on organosilicon compounds and presents the results of research on the selection components of compositions that provide protection of painted products from corrosive environments, mechanical and thermal effects. Defects of paint and varnish coatings are investigated. The expediency of modifying organosilicon film-forming compositions with solutions bead polymers of polymethyl methacrylate and polybutyl methacrylate has been substantiated. To obtain a heat-resistant coating, two compositions were developed for the lower and upper layers. The bottom layer was KO-85 organosilicon varnish modified with solutions of bead polymers and PF-060 alkyd varnish. To regulate the wetting and spreading, surfactants were introduced into the bottom layer, which could improve the structural, mechanical and decorative properties of the coatings. The top layer of the coating with the craquelure effect was KO-868 silicone enamel modified with functional additives that increase the surface tension and reduce the spreadability of the resulting composition. Research has been carried out on the physica-mechanical (adhesion, impact strength, elasticity of the film during bending), decorative (change in gloss, color, dirt retention, chalking) and protective (cracking, peeling, weathering, bubble formation, corrosion of metaln, wrinkling, dissolution) properties of a two-layer coating, as well as its resistance to water, gasoline, mineral oil and temperature.

Corrosion Resistance of Polyester Powder Coatings Using Fillers of Various Chemical Nature

In the article the effect of fillers of various chemical nature on the corrosion resistance of polyester powder coatings in terms of flaking widths and corrosion expansion widths in accordance with DSTU ISO 4628-8: 2012 was reviewed. According to the results of studies, the effectiveness of the use of fillers to increase the corrosion resistance of the powder coating varies depending on the average particle size and crystalline form of the filler was found. As a rule, in order to receive a powder coating based decorative coating you should apply only one layer of paint, while liquid coatings require applying several layers; this increases the time of coating production. The powder coating can be easily utilized and recycled, thus the economic feasibility of production increases.
