Hey all, this is my first post on these forums so hello! I am doing an assignment at the moment and it is about the effects on mechanical properties of finishings and coating on metallic materials. I have been able to find info on hot dip galvanising and powder coating however i can't seem to find any info on how painting metallic materials effects it's mechanical properties. Hope someone is able to help me or point me in the right direction, i just need to find out how it effects (if it does) tenisle strength, impact, ductility, bend etc any info would be much appreciated guys!
Cheers Pete
