Q

Anode:

A

Q

Return Path (Metallic Pathway):

A

This connects the anode and cathode, allowing passage of

electrons, generated at the anode, to the cathode

21
Q

Dew Point:

A

The temperature at which moisture will begin to form on a steel surface

22
Q

Infrared Thermometers

A

Devices that measure temperature, using blackbody radiation emit-
ted from objects

23
Q

Magnetic Surface Contact Thermometer:

A

One of the most common instruments used to

determine substrate temperature

24
Q

Psychrometric Chart:

A

A graph of the physical properties of moist air at a constant pressure
(often equated to an elevation relative to sea level)

25
Q

Psychrometric Tables:

A

Booklet used to determine the relative humidity and dew-point
temperature of the air

26
Q

Relative Humidity:

A

The ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the amount of water vapor present in a given volume of air at a given temperature to the amount required to saturate the air at that temperature

27
Q

Repeatability:

A

The ability of the instrument to give the same readings under similar ambient and target conditions

28
Q

Sling Psychrometer:

A

The type of psychrometer most used in coating inspection. It is used to
measure the ambient air temperature to calculate dew point and relative humidity

29
Q

Wind Speed Monitor:

A

An instrument to help decide if conditions are appropriate for coating
application projects

30
Q

Metalizing:

A

Protective coating - Metals and alloys deposited on steel substrates in a liquid state

31
Q

Galvanizing:

A

Protective coating - Steel components dipped into a molten zinc bath to form a metallic coating

32
Q

Powder Coating:

A

A protective coating

Many of the chemistries discussed in this course can be for-
mulated as solids. After electrodeposition, they are heated to a molten state for curing

33
Q

Additives:

A

Components of a coating, typically added in small amounts to perform a specific function

34
Q

Adhesion:

A

The process in which dissimilar molecules cling together due to attractive forces. Adhesion can be chemical, mechanical, polar, or a combination of all three

35
Q

Barrier Coatings:

A

A coating that:
(1) has a high resistance to permeation of liquids and/or
gases, or
(2) is applied over a previously coated surface to prevent damage to the underlying coating during subsequent handling.

36
Q

Binder:

A

The nonvolatile (won’t evaporate) portion of the vehicle of a formulated coating material

37
Q

Inhibitive Pigment:

A

A pigment that passivates (less active to environment)
the metal surface by forming a thin, tightly adherent film or by reinforcing and plugging defects in the natural air-formed film

38
Q

A

Coatings whose binders are made from non-living things, most com-
monly based on either silicone or zinc
