The preparation process for materials undergoing metal spraying

Metal spraying preparation process

Specific processes and standard operating procedures are required in order for the application and construction projects to be implemented seamlessly. Brooklyn Engineering is at the forefront of implementing and enhancing these processes and systems.

The preparation process for materials undergoing metal spraying should follow a specific set and routine of aligned steps. Different materials have various characteristics and core components that require an in-depth analysis of temperature curing, enhancements and maintenance processes. The overall steps would include Surface Preparation, Metalizing the materials, selecting the metalizing process as well as coating the metal as a final step.

To begin with, the surfaces should be adequately prepared with chemicals and surface metal spraying. It should be of utmost importance that the surface does not have any grease, oil or other contaminants that could damage the mechanical bond of the metal surface.

Typical methods would include machining, bond coating as well as abrasive blasting. The machining would need undercuts made on either cylindrical or plane surfaces. The heating and cooling properties should be specifically measured and calculated for accurate application of the metal spraying.

Additional chemical components and coverings can include bond coating with a thin spray with elements such as nickel, alloy or molybdenum that is applied to the surface for improved bond strength. Thermal spraying is another alternative to the mechanical bonding process and prevents coating adhesion and corrosion in the long-term.

Vibration analysis

Brooklyn Engineering is an innovative organisation that prides itself on delivering the highest calibre of services through technological advancements and dynamic offerings in the market. We offer Hard Chrome Plating, Metal Spraying, Welding, Balancing, Fitting, Machine Shop solutions as well as CNC Machining. 

In this article, we will be looking at what the common faults that can be detected with vibration analysis. To begin with, it should be important to understand what vibration analysis is, the applications it is used in as well as to understand what faults can be detected. 

Vibration analysis is a process which monitors the vibration levels and identifies trends or patterns in vibration signals. The waveforms are directly in sync with the vibration signal directly, specifically on the frequency spectrum. 

The main source of identifying the common faults is through a Vibration Monitoring System which has predetermined parameters related to vibration level, recording intervals and frequency bandwidths. 

Advantages associated with vibration analysis is Real-time reaction of structural conditions, supports remote condition monitoring as well as establishing signal analysis and algorithms for predictive maintenance. 

When any abnormalities are evident, parameters such as standard deviation, skewness and other factors are identified. The applications in which vibration analysis is used are for rotating machinery that incorporates rotating components that decomposes waveforms and vibration patterns; in addition, the vibration can occur in different forms such as displacement, velocity and acceleration. 

The vibration components are also directly correlated to meshing gear-teeth, rolling bearing elements, rotating electrical fields, fluid flows, combustion events and other structural rotations.

CNC Turning

Brooklyn Engineering is at the forefront of adhering to industry standards through an impeccable model of a well-documented Quality Management System. Brooklyn Engineering implements the quality standards across all levels of the products and service offering. 

In this article, we will be looking at the CNC turning process in detail as well as the specific applications in which the CNC process is used. To begin with, the acronym “CNC” is Computer Numerical Control technology. This technology offers enhanced precision and automation to streamline manual processes and tasks. 

 CNC is predominantly utilised in manufacturing contexts where bars of material are held and rotated while the tool is fed to the specific piece to produce a desired shape. Production capabilities and industries related include Drilling, Boring, Facing, Grooving, Knurling as well as Parting. The illustrative industries are specific to Woodworking, the Electrical and Automotive industries and Material Fabrication contexts. 

The components of CNC machines include a central processing unit, otherwise known as a Central Processing Unit, Input devices, Machine control  panels, Programmable logic controllers, Servo-control units as well as an integrated Display Unit. 

It should be important to note that the CNC tuning centre could potentially have a main and sub-spindle to ensure faster operation. This type of configuration is an ideal automated process for larger production runs. 

There are a multitude of advantages associated with utilising the CNC machine such as increasing the production volume and improving the flexibility in manufacturing capabilities.

Balancing heavy machinery is a maintenance measure that ensures you machines will not fail due to vibrations and other issues. Static and dynamic balancing are two forms of balancing that your machine should undergo in order to extend its lifespan and enhance its quality and accuracy. These forms of balancing may have the same purpose, but they are very different from one another. Read all about the difference between static and dynamic balancing below:

Dynamic balancing

Dynamic balance is an object’s ability to balance while in motion. If the machine is unbalanced, this may be seen in various locations along the axis of rotation in differing magnitudes. Dynamic balancing is a technique that uses highly sensitive equipment to measure these unbalances while the machine is in motion. Performing the tests while the machine is in motion allows the rotating system to be tested for vibrations among many other issues by adding and removing weight from the system.

Static balancing

Static balance is very simple compared to the complexity of dynamic balance. A machine with static balance is a one that maintains balance in a stationary position, meaning that the components will not rotate without force. Unbalance can be caused by a single heavy spot within the system. If the machine is unbalanced, static balancing needs to take place to ensure that its centre of gravity remains on its axis of rotation, eliminating the risk of rolling.
