Surface Preparation Metallizing Procedure

Procedure for Surface Preparation by Quartz blasting, Zinc &
Aluminium Metal Coating and sealant
A) Grit/Quartz Blasting
B) Zinc Metal coating
C) Aluminium metal Coating
D) Sealant
A) Grit /Sand/Quartz /Copper Slag Blasting:
Abrasive blasting is a process where in abrasives such as grit,

sand, Copper slag or shot are propelled with compressed air on to the
substrate to remove mill scale, oil, grease, dirt, rust, oxides & paint.
Surface preparation is the most popular method for any protective
coating adheres. As per the IS and BS standards, while doing this
process, the place will be covered by tarpaulin because of dust particle
should not spread on other places.
B) Zinc Metal Coating:
Spray Galvanizing (Thermal Spray Coating of Zinc- TSZ) involves

deposition molten Zinc (purity 99.95%)on to a prepared surface. The
metal being sprayed is melted in an Electric Arc atomized by compressed
air and then projected on to the substrate has been prepared by Sand &
Quartz Blasting. As per the IS & BS Standards.
Advantages:
¾ Cold Process
¾ No size Limitations
¾ Proven Long-term Protection
¾ Site job Possible
Standards:
IS: 5905 IS: 6586
BS: 5493
C) Aluminizing:
Thermal Spray coating of aluminium involves deposition of

aluminium of 99.5 % purity over the prepared abrasive blasted surface.
The sprayed metal is melted by using electric arc that is atomized with
compressed air. And projected over the substrate. According to the IS &
BS standards, the coating should be resistant up to 950% temperature.
The aluminizing process is used to protect parts operating in high

temperature environments against corrosion and oxidation.
Advantage:
¾ Site job possible

¾ No size limitation
¾ Better surface preparation
¾ Cold process
¾ Pure aluminium coating
¾ Ideal surface for painting
Standards:
IS: 739 IS: 2590

BS: 2569 Part 1&2 BS: 1475
D) Sealant:
The metal-sprayed coating is in itself a complete protective system

for iron or steel structures. The use of a sealant, however, enhances this
protection and also produces a pleasing appearance.
Advantage:
¾ It penetrates and fills the pores, thus reducing the

total area of the exposed metal and therefore, the rate
of dissolution of the coating.
¾ It smoothes the surface texture preventing the

retention of grime and other contaminants, thus
reducing still further the rate of surface attack.
¾ By smoothing the surface texture the appearance of

the coating will remain cleaner and more attractive
than without a sealant, and may more readily be
maintained in a clean condition.
STRESS RELIEVING
Machining induces stresses in parts. The bigger and more complex the
part, the more the stresses. These stresses can cause distortions in the
part long term. If the parts are clamped in service, then cracking could
occur. Also hole locations can change causing them to go out of
tolerance. For these reasons, stress relieving is often necessary.
Typically, the parts that benefit from stress relieving are large and
complex weldments, castings with a lot of machining, parts with tight
dimensional tolerances and machined parts that have had a lot of stock
removal performed.
Stress relieving is the controlled heating and cooling of metals to alter

their physical and mechanical properties without changing the product
shape. Stress relieving is sometimes done inadvertently due to
manufacturing processes that either heat or cool the metal such as
welding or forming. Stress relieving is done at about 650°C for about one
hour or till the whole part reaches the temperature. This removes more
than 90% of the internal stresses. Alloy steels are stress relieved at
higher temperature. After removing from the furnace, the parts are air
cooled in still air.
Stress relieving is often associated with increasing the strength of
material, but it can also be used to alter certain manufacturability
objectives such as improve machining, improve formability, restore
ductility after a cold working operation. Thus it is a very enabling
manufacturing process that can not only help other manufacturing
process, but can also improve product performance by increasing
strength or other desirable characteristics. Steels are particularly
suitable for heat treatment, since they respond well to heat treatment
and the commercial use of steels exceeds that of any other material.
