Properties of aluminium coatings produced using manual and robotized flame spraying processes
Sažetak
Struggle with corrosion within the marine environment targeted to protect steel structures is continuously going on. Aluminium coatings applied using arc or flame spraying process are frequently used for protection steel structures in maritime applications. Results of comparative testing of aluminium coatings produced by manual and robotized flame spraying on the steel substrate are reported in the contribution. Particular attention during the investigation of coating properties has been focused to the uniformity of coating thickness, adhesion and corrosion resistance. Analysis of the results yielded the conclusion on the quality, adhesion and corrosion resistance of the aluminium coating when the coating is applied to the flat steel plate.
