Performance testing coated process

Electrochemical Characterization Technloues. Since corrosion Is an electrochemical process, It Is not surprising that a considerable amount of work has been reported over the years on electrical and electrochemical techniques for the study of the corrosion process. Leldhelser Ql.) and Szauer (12.> 11) have provided good reviews of the principal techniques. Walter has recently provided a review of DC electrochemical tests for painted metals (14). Both AC and DC methods have been employed to study a variety of Issues related to corrosion and corrosion protection. DC techniques are especially useful for studying substrate processes, while AC impedance techniques are most useful for studying processes relating to coated substrates and the performance of coatings. 

In the case of direct application of E-coat to IVD specimens (one of the systems that showed excellent adhesion performance in both the tape test and the accelerated adhesion test), due to the high throw power of the E-coating process, the deep penetration of E-coat into the porous IVD structure creates mechanical interlocking and thus strong adhesion. Because of this development of mechanical interlocking, neither the tape test nor the accelerated adhesion test could distinguish the effect of plasma treatment on adhesion performance. 

Numerous tests of Tetracarbon have shown a number of its valuable features. The Tetracarbon coating process is performed at low temperature (20-200°C), so it can be used for coating polymers (polyethylene,... 

The wear mechanism of multilayer coatings is assumed to occur layer by layer and the cracks are deflected by the interfaces between the sublayers. Besides cutting test the performance of coatings can be tested (at least compared) by scratch tests, in which a critical load is obtained at which the coatings are removed. The critical loads are typically 50-100 N and are influenced by the type of the deposition process. Also the obtained hardness is dependent on the preparation method magnetron sputtered Ti(C, N) layers reach up to about 37GPa [108]. 

Both procedures were followed by EDC hydrochloride activation, with sequential immobilization of the layer of BSA. TEM shows that the particle size varies in the range 10-15 run and does not change significantly after the coating process. In vitro tests performed after the functionalization of SPIONs with L-aspartic acid (LAA) and BSA. BSA-coated SPIONs incubated with cells demonstrated a cell response similar to that of control cells, with no adverse cell damage and no endocytosis, whereas LAA-coated SPIONs show partial endocytosis without cytoskeletal disorganization... 

Cabinet corrosion tests have been used since the early 1900s as a means of evaluating the performance of coatings as a quality control tool for monitoring processes, and in some cases, as a method for accelerating corrosive activity.
