Let’s take a look at why powder coating is often the preferred metal coating for industrial equipment and beyond.
Powder Coating vs. Paint Applications
Both paint and powder coat require similar surface prep and utilize a spray “gun” to apply the specific material, but that’s where the similarities end. Traditional wet painting involves spraying paint that requires a solvent to keep it in its liquid form. Once applied, most surfaces need anywhere from a few hours to a few days to cure depending on the temperature and humidity. In contrast, powder coating uses an electrostatic gun to apply a po ..read more

Relays were first used in long-distance telegraph circuits as amplifiers back in the 1800s. They repeated the signal coming in on one circuit and re-transmitted it on another circuit. They were also used in telephone exchanges and early computers to perform logical operations. Nowadays, relays are widely used to switch starting coils, heating elements, pilot lights and audible alarms. The basic purpose o ..read more

What is Machining?
In a previous blog, we focused on the future of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing requires stacking layers upon layers of material to form a 3D object. Machining is another method of producing the same object. Instead of adding material, removing material achieves the desired form. You could say 3D printing is like laying bricks while machining is like sculpting.
In machining, several operations occur in a planned sequence to achieve the best results. We cover three of the most common operations including turning, drilling, and milling ..read more
