Re: [MW:5672] Paint for Aluminum Heat Exchangers

Ok Amit.

My recomendation more economic is cleaning SSPC – SP 1 or/and SSPC – SP 2, apply paint Aluminum silicone Curing at environmental, thickness 2 mils maximun , if you apply more of 2 mils the paint would cracking .
This recomendation is based in my experience, aluminun not need paint, i hope my recomendation will utility for you.

Best regards
Agustin Jimenez

Thanks AGUSTIN JIMENEZ

Could you please advice the solution of that because we are facing the bigest prob of our final finishing process of our product and customer demand more gaurentee of that side. There are techniques avilable in market, chromatizing, anodizing, epoxy coating, powder coating but out of all these which one will be economical for need.

Hi.

Is recommendable not paint, if you paint you will have problem with temperature interchange.

Dear Group Members,

Could you please guides which type of paint we can use for general
application for corrosion protection purpose for aluminum heat
exchanger used as an Engine Radiator, Transformer oil cooler, Oil
coolers for locomotives working temperature up to 150C.

Thank you

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

Hi, You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this. Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime. Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC. The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case). One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example. In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change. Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
