Neal Manufacturing, a division of Blastcrete Equipment LLC, has upgraded its DA-350 Dual Applicator sealcoating machine by adding a high-powered blower to the front of the unit to help users quickly ...

Low-friction coatings for bearings can improve bearing life and performance. Low-friction coatings are used on bearings for two reasons. The first is as a backup lubricant if the primary (fluid) ...

Many new materials have been developed, but steel remains the principal construction material for automobiles, appliances, and industrial machinery. Because of steel's vulnerability to attack by ...

University of Sheffield researchers developed a machine learning framework to improve coating properties in a roll-to-roll slot die coating process. The work is seen as an initial step toward broader ...

When locked into a spec, engineers often have few options to select new materials. That’s especially true in the aerospace and defense industries when it comes to coatings. "It's not easy to change ...

A short description of each application process and the properties of the coating developed is given in the below sections. In zinc electroplating, the items to be coated are immersed in a solution ...

There are a number of advantages to dip molding and coating that makes these processes both cost-effective and time-efficient. The molds, called "mandrels," are typically needed for the dip molding ...

Waterborne coatings use water as a solvent to disperse a resin, thus making these coatings eco-friendly and easy to apply. In most cases, waterborne coatings contain up to 80% water with small ...
