Electrostatic sprayingUtilize the principle of high-voltage electrostatic corona electric field.AirbrushThe metal guide cup on the head is connected to the high-voltage negative electricity, and the coated workpiece is grounded to form a positive pole.A strong electrostatic field is formed between the spray gun and the workpiece.When the carrier gas (compressed air) willpowder coating When the powder is delivered from the powder supply barrel to the guide cup of the spray gun through the powder conveying pipe, densechargeThe powder is negatively charged. Under the action of electrostatic force and compressed air, the powder is evenly adsorbed on the workpiecemeltsolidification(orPlasticization)Form a uniform, continuous, flat and smooth coating film.[1]

The factors affecting the film performance in powder electrostatic spraying process are not only the spraying process parameters, but also the characteristics of powder coatings.
1. Powder size.
See Table 3-1 for the influence of powder particle size on coating process performance
It is easy to discharge charged charges, and the powder particles are easy to fall off
tenten~10fourteen
Good construction performance, thick coating film can be obtained during construction within this range
tenfifteenabove
The particle charge is not easy to release, and the charge accumulated on the surface of the workpiece can not get thick coating
It can be seen from Table 2-2 that the volume resistance of powder particles is required to be 10 during electrostatic spraying constructionten~10fourteenΩ · cm is good.
3. Spraying distance
The change of spraying distance will change the electric field strength, which will also affect the film thickness and the deposition efficiency of the powder.
See Table 3-1 for the relationship between spraying distance and deposition efficiency

Spraying time: 20s

Spraying voltage: 90KV
It can be seen from the above table that the deposition efficiency is the highest when the spraying distance is 250mm.
4. Spraying voltage
With the increase of spraying voltage, the amount of powder adhesion increases, but when it exceeds 90Kv, the increase rate of adhesion decreases.The initial growth rate of film thickness increases with the increase of voltage, but the influence of voltage on the increase of film thickness decreases with the increase of spraying time.The influence of voltage on film thickness decreases with the increase of spraying distance.If the spraying voltage is too high, the powder will be broken down and the quality of the powder will be affected.Generally, the spraying voltage is controlled within 60~90kV.
5. Air supply pressure
The gas supply pressure of the powder feeder increases, and the deposition efficiency decreases.See Table 5-1 for the relationship[1]
