Surface preparation in metalworking is a process with a dual aim: removing scale or rust from the metal part and generating the best possible surface profile for coating adhesion. This preparation is essential for the application of paint or a plastic layer, ensuring durability and longevity of the coating.
Understanding the Importance of Surface Preparation
Scale and rust can significantly compromise the quality of metal parts. Their presence not only detracts from the metal's appearance but also weakens its structural integrity. Moreover, an uneven or improperly prepared surface can lead to poor adhesion of coatings, resulting in peeling, flaking, or corrosion over time.
