Forming & Protection

« Processes, Benefits, and Applications in Modern Industry » Work hardening occurs when metallic materials are deformed below their recrystallization temperature. Discover how mechanical properties of metals change during forming processes, which industries benefit from increased material strength, and  the …

Professional surface treatment significantly increases the lifespan of components. The chosen method depends on the base material and the desired effect. Among the most essential techniques in this field are electroplating and anodizing. While both use electricity and can serve …

« Abrasive Wear Causes and Countermeasures » Wear occurs whenever materials degrade through use. Abrasion is a specific form of wear that results from what is known as micro-cutting. High abrasiveness significantly reduces the service life of machine parts, places …

Tube drawing is a critical manufacturing process that creates precise, high-quality metal tubes used in everything from automotive parts to construction materials. The process transforms stock materials into finished tubes with precise dimensions. The starting materials are typically steel hollow …

Coagulants cause coating particles in wastewater to join together into micro-flocs and allow them to be separated during further treatment. Read here about where wastewater is generated during painting processes, how detackification works, what requirements detackification agents must meet, and …

« The Importance of Surface Treatment for Equipment Efficiency » In common terminology, the phrase “maintenance and servicing of machinery and equipment” is frequently used. Strictly speaking, servicing is a broader category that includes maintenance. The latter ensures continuous trouble-free …

« What Methods Are Used? » Plastics are widely used as packaging materials, insulators, components in various machines and devices, and as coating agents. Unfortunately, their widespread use has led to increasing environmental concerns as they are now frequently found …

Water beads up on many surfaces. After a rain shower, tiny droplets can still be seen on windows for a long time.  This occurs because thin water films contract into droplets. All these are effects of surface tension, which becomes …

Wherever the word “duplex” appears, it usually refers to something double-layered. In surface technology, duplex systems are no exception—they consist of two protective layers to defend against corrosion. The bottom layer is created through hot-dip galvanizing, while the top layer …

« A Brief Overview of the process » Anodizing is a process that provides aluminum semi-finished products (partially processed materials) or workpieces with a corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant surface. This protective layer is formed with the aid of an electric current …
