Matalizing a is general term referring to all processes used for coating non-metallic surfaces with metal material. The invention of the method was done in 1835 by a German called Von Liebig. According to history, mirrors were the first items to be produced using this method. Actually, the discovery happened when Liebig was coating aluminum on a glass surface. In Los Angeles metalizing has far reaching applications in many fields and the industry creates jobs to many citizens.
The process must be kept free of all atmospheric impurities. Therefore, it is performed inside special vacuum chambers. The vacuum chamber system is made up of several components including power supply, robot, control console, feeder, media supply, and spray torch. The number of control consoles on a machine is determined by its size and complexity. Consoles may come as independent gadgets or as integral parts of the system.
Spray torch is the gun that melts the metal to be used in coating. The temperature of the torch is normally raised to very high levels to be able to turn metal into a molten form. The temperature can be regulated through the control console according to the requirements of the process. The gun also accelerates the molten metal towards the substrate for deposition. Torches can be heated through various methods including plasma heating and resistance heating.
Fuels used to produce flames are supplied into the system by the media supply. This component may be incorporated in some models as an integral feature or it may lack completely in some systems. The operator feeds the powder, liquid, or wire used as a coat through the feeder. The feeder directs the material directly to the torch for melting. Feeders are accessible by system operators through parts that terminate on the outside.
Robots are the circuitry used for the manipulation of substrates and torches. The object may need to be turned over and over during the process so that the coat can be applied effectively in all parts. Besides the substrate, the torch may also need to change the direction in which it applies the coat. Power supply is normally a standalone component that powers the torch.
The process is started by preparing the substrate and then feeding it into the system. Once in the feeder, the material is delivered to the torch to be melted. The wire is heated until its boiling point is reached at which it turns into vapor or fumes. The fumes go into the air before settling down onto the substrate. For the process to be efficient, substrates are positioned directly under the torch.
Thickness of coatings is varied using the consoles. Generally, the thickness of the coatings grow as more fumes settle on a substrate. This implies that allowing more time for deposition forms thicker coats. Uniformly spread coatings are formed after the fumes settle and cool down.
Metalizing is applied in many industrial, commercial, and household applications. In industries, it is applied in making structural materials. Structural materials produced by this method form thermal barriers for protection against high temperatures. Other uses are making layers for protecting objects against wear and tear, corrosion, and erosion. The process also beautifies objects.
