Precautions and care must be taken to properly mask and remove all grit from block surface and cavities.Time between surface preparation and thermal spray application should be minimal. Allowing excessive time between preparation and thermal spray will result in unacceptable coating performance.
Table 5
Flame Spray Process (6P-II) Procedure Check List
Clean Part Pre-machine block and degrease block deck surface.
See Notice¹ Below
Undercut Must not exceed 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) spray thickness
Chamfer All edges must have at least 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) to 0.50 mm (0.020 inch) chamfer.
Remove Oxide Use fiber flap brush or Clean/strip disc
See Notice¹ Below
Clean Spray Area Metco cleaning solvent or equivalent
Mask for Grit Blast Grit blast - If the entire mating surface is to be flame sprayed, some shops prefer to pre-machine the surface. This process removes any major damage, allows for a recommended minimum 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) coating, reduces technique dependency in producing an even coating, and can reduce material cost and finish machining time.
