The following table shows some hints to solve most common problems when applying boron nitride coatings:
.
Problem |
Cause |
Solution |
Coating peels. |
Coating is too thick. |
Dilute coating so that the layer thickness does not exceed 100µm. |
Coating does not adhere on the surface. |
Bad surface conditions. |
Clean and degrease surface, perhaps grit blasting, warm surface prior to application to 100-150°C. |
Further layers do not stick on the first layer. |
First coating is not yet completely dried. |
Extend drying time, remove loose particles and coat again. |
Exfoliation and cracking. |
Coating is too thick. |
Dilute coating in such way that thinner layers can be applied. |
Cloudy, uneven application when spraying. |
Coating is not stirred up, spray gun is led jerkily not homogenious. |
Stirr coating or use mixer. Pull even courses with spray gun. |
