[Pete] had a friend who would powder coat metal parts for him, but when he needed 16 metal parts coated, he decided he needed to develop a way to do it himself. Some research turned up the fluid bed ...

Magnetohydrodynamic fluid dynamics in coating processes investigates how electrically conducting fluids, often polymer melts or solutions, respond to applied magnetic fields during deposition onto ...

The study of fluid coating dynamics in non-Newtonian systems examines how complex fluids adhere to and spread over solid substrates under controlled mechanical action. Unlike Newtonian liquids, whose ...

Powder coating is a wonderful way to apply a smooth, colored surface to a part, whether for aesthetic reasons or corrosion protection. Traditionally, powder is applied via a air gun that sprays it ...

The authors experiment with a resonant acoustic mixer as a method for dry powder coating. Efficient handling and transport of fine-particle powders can be difficult because of the highly cohesive ...

The autoclave has long defined thermoset composites processing — snap-cure epoxy prepreg systems are built around the premise that it doesn't have to.

Powder coating is a finish you’ll find quite often, as it’s no stranger to components exposed to the harshest environments. Hitches, suspension pieces, wheels, and even engine parts are all familiar ...
