Tampon galvanizing
Tampon galvanizing is a metal coating process where, as opposed to bath galvanizing where the work piece is immersed in an electrolyte tank and the total surface is coated, only the damaged fragment of the object is filled up with a selected metal.
It is applied in the following cases:
Metal surfaces:
- damage repair
- change of dimensions
- change of characteristics
Below are some examples of tampon galvanizing:
Surface damages: scratches, impact damages, seizing caused by corrosion, wear marks.
Tampon galvanizing is also optimal for repairing surfaces worn under-size, or machined under-size during production.
The properties of metal surfaces can also be altered using the appropriate coating material. The most common cases are:
- Increasing the abrasion resistance of the surface,
- Improving electric conductivity,
- Corrosion resistance,
- Sliding qualities.
Based on the above we can conclude that tampon galvanizing is a repair technique that has further advantages:
- The surface is not exposed to thermal load during coating
- It is applicable on site, without removing the parts
- Surface properties are changeable upon request using various coating materials
- No finish work is needed
However, tampon galvanizing has its limitations as well:
- Maximum thickness of coating is 0.5 mm
- Maximum hardness is 55 HRC
- Surface must be accessible for on-site repair
Thus, it is an optimal repair technique in various industrial fields, such as:
- Repair of Hydraulic systems
- Vehicle repair
- Printing industry
- Manufacturing and repair of machines
- Paper industry
- Rubber industry
- Plastic processing
The above description is confined to review only the basic principles of tampon galvanizing, since the detailed explanation of the technique has already filled books.
Should you be interested in repair procedures with tampon galvanizing in detail, we will be happy to provide you with further information in your special field. Further, we offer practical demonstrations either at your site or at ours.
