COATING METAL OBJECTS WITH PLASTIC Solidification It is the phenomena of phase transition to solid from a liquid or molten stage by means of a cooling medium In the following topics we are going to use cooling air as a medium of cooling to solidify from molten state. Solidification of a Melt to Make Granules
Consider urea in hot molten state that is to be sprayed to the agricultural fields by means of conversion to solid state. So, by using the solidification principle , hot molten urea is converted to solid state by means of cooling air. Application Coating Metal Objects with Plastic
Adsorption of fluidized plastic particles on the hot metal surface by means of heat transfer mechanism There is a formation of thick plastic layer on the surface of the metal which is smoothed by further heating . Application Advantages This process can be used for objects with uneven or highly concave surfaces, such as metal lawn furniture, and its coating is much thicker than paint. It is economically attractive and widely used in industry because it needs no solvent and utilization of material is complete. A presentation by M.Hari Krishna
