Surface coating inspection

The impacts of TSCA, such as those on two specific exemplary industries, surface coating polymers and metal-cutting fluids, by S.Oslosky and H.Fribush, respectively, are implied but actually not explicit within TSCA. Consider the required assessment of risks, the need for test-data describing effects on health and the environment, aside from plant inspections, subpoenas, prohibited acts, penalties for prohibited acts, enforcement and seizure, judicial review, citizens civil actions and petitions, and employee protection provisions in the Act. Thus, it s inevitable that the alert manufacturer will adjust his product research, development and selection processes to identify and use substances with reduced risk to health and the environment wherever possible. As structure-(biological)-activity relationships become more reliable, the alert... 

In evident areas of bond failure, fireproofing should be removed and the substrate should be thoroughly cleaned and properly primed before new material is applied. If surface coating is required to prevent moisture from penetrating, it should be renewed at intervals recommended by the manufacturer. The previously listed inspections should be completed prior to renewal of coating so that defects are not hidden by the coating.

The surface is inspected visually during processing, but as in pultrusion, ultrasonic C-scan or ir scanning are valuable techniques. Uniform dispersion of the fibers and evenness of the resin coating are essential. 

Prior to insertion into the board, check press-fit connector pins for straightness and integrity. An inexpensive go/no-go gauge (see Fig. 49.14) can be machined to check that connector pins are not bent. It should be constructed so that it neither compresses the compliant section of the press-fit pin nor damages its surface coating. This is especially helpful for fine-pitch press-fit connectors (1 mm centers) and is better than relying on visual inspection for pin field integrity. 

Specification of sound, continuous, and efficient surface coverings and coatings to be applied on both anodic and cathodic surfaces. If only one surface can be coated, this must always be the cathodic one. Adequate inspection of the continuity of surface coatings (especially on anodic metals) should be specified on products to be used in a conductive environment. (Note Sacrificial anodes are excepted). 

The inspection possibility of welds and rough surfaces also under the coating of various foulings, oils, scale, rust etc. without the preliminary preparation. 

To add surface area, the supports are uniformly coated with a slurry of gamma-alumina and recalcined under moderate conditions. The wash coat acts to accept the active metals, typically low levels of platinum and palladium, in a conventional impregnation process. In the United States in passenger car apphcations the spherical catalyst is used almost exclusively, and methods have been developed to replace the catalyst without removing the converter shell when vehicle inspection reveals that emission standards are not met. 

After commissioning the protection installation, an on potential of = -0.82 V was imposed. In the course of a few years of operation, the protection current rose from 100 to 130 mA. The mean values were = -0.63 V and the values were t/ = -0.50 V. An inspection carried out after 5 years showed that cathodic blisters, whose contents were alkaline, had developed in the coating. The steel surface at these places was rust free and not attacked. Uncoated steel at the pores was covered with CaC03 deposits as a result of cathodic polarization. 

After final inspection, exposed machined surfaces shall be coated with a rust preventative. 

I xtemal inspection criteria are provided by these standards for foundation and supports, anchor bolts, concrete or steel supports, guy wires, nozzles, sprinklers pipe hangers, . rouiuling coiiiiee(ions, protective coatings, insulation, and external metal surfaces. 

Coatings (e.g. paints) applied to metal surfaces can be extremely effective in containing the corrosion of the substrate in many environments. This is particularly true for steel in natural environments. However, no freshly applied coating is entirely free from defects and so there will always be small areas which are exposed directly to the corrosive environment. It is possible to reduce, but not eliminate, these defects by paying attention to workmanship. In practice, it becomes increasingly expensive to achieve fewer and fewer defects because of the need for high grade inspection, and the detection and repair of individual defects.
