<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>How Los Angeles Metalizing Is Done</h2><br />

<div class='uawarticle'>Matalizing is the general term used to refer to a group of processes used to coat non-metallic materials with metal. The method was invented by a German called Von Liebig around 1835. It is believed that the first application of metalizing was in making mirrors. Actually, Liebig was trying to coat aluminum on a glass surface at the time of the discovery. In <A href="http://www.masterpowdercoating.com">Los Angeles metalizing</A> is applied in many applications and the industry provides employment for many people.<br />
<br />
This process occurs inside vacuum chambers to avoid contamination of metal coatings by impurities. The vacuum chamber system comprises of several components which include spray torch, robot, power supply, control console, feeder, and media supply. The number of control consoles may be more than one on a single machine depending on size and how much it is sophisticated. Consoles may be separate devices or they be integrated into the rest of the system.<br />
<br />
The metal that forms the coat on objects is melted by the spray gun. Some metals have very high boiling and melting points hence the spray torch must reach those temperatures for the metals to vaporize. Temperatures are controlled using the control consoles. After melting the coating material, the gun accelerates them to the object to be deposited. Temperature of the spray torch is raised through resistance and plasma heating among other techniques.<br />
<br />
Media supply is used to supply the fuel needed to produce the flame used in heating the spray torch. This is an optional feature in some models of metalization systems. The feeder is the component used to supply the wire, liquid, or powder used for coating. The material supplied is directed to the torch to be melted. Normally the feeder terminates on the outside for access by the system operator.<br />
<br />
Robots refer to the circuitry used to manipulate torches and substrates. Substrates require to be turned for the coat to reach all parts effectively. Torches may also need to change the angle in which it delivers the coat. The torch is powered by a standalone power supply.<br />
<br />
The substrate is prepared properly first before it is fed into the system. Once inside the feeder, the material goes straight to the spray torch to be vaporized. The torch applies heat on the wire until it reaches boiling point and vaporizes into fumes. The vaporized fumes take time in the air and but finally settle onto the surface of the substrate. Substrates should be placed directly beneath the torch for efficient results to be achieved.<br />
<br />
The thickness of the layer formed on the substrate by the fumes can be varied using the controls. Generally, the longer the system is powered on, the more the fumes produced meaning that thicker coatings are produced. Once the fumes cool down, they form a uniform layer around the substrate.<br />
<br />
Metalizing is applied in many industrial, commercial, and household applications. In industries, it is applied in making structural materials. Structural materials produced by this method form thermal barriers for protection against high temperatures. Other uses are making layers for protecting objects against wear and tear, corrosion, and erosion. The process also beautifies objects.<br />
