The consequences of applying silver powder to equipment without first removing rust
Thread Content
The construction team cut corners by applying silver powder without first removing the rust, which is infuriating and heartbreaking. Let’s discuss it together.
Painting without rust removal is pointless; it’s as if you’re just wasting effort. Hold the person responsible for inspection accountable
How is this kind of work done? It’s better not to paint if rust removal isn’t done.
Paint will easily peel off in such a short time; it must be fixed.
Where have the construction supervisors gone?:@
Assign a specific person to be in charge; the work must be checked by that person before painting. Otherwise, a fine will be imposed and the person will be required to polish the surface and repaint it. This is how our company does things. :(
Failure to remove rust or incomplete rust removal is a common problem among domestic construction firms (and even design firms or owners). To put it plainly, it was just a formality. Applying paint without thorough rust removal not only fails to provide adequate protection for the substrate, but also requires the paint layer to be reapplied frequently, which is a significant waste of resources. It is highly recommended to make **sandblasting (or shot blasting) for rust removal a mandatory** standard, with manual or wire wheel rust removal being reserved only for local supplementary use.
It is a common problem among state-owned enterprises; strict management must start with the leadership, otherwise supervision by oversight personnel is pointless.
I used to lead a team responsible for anti-corrosion work, and this is a common problem among them: they try to cut corners. This not only undermines the prospects for long-term cooperation but also shows a lack of respect for managers – it’s truly annoying. We follow strict regulations before starting construction; after each stage of work is completed, it must be inspected by management personnel, and only after approval with their signature can we proceed to the next stage. Otherwise, the work has to be redone, and a fine will be imposed – strict requirements are applied at all times.
With such a construction team, it’s better to fire them. What’s the point of having them remove rust if they’re just going to paint over it anyway? It’s pointless
Applying paint without first removing rust only makes it more likely for rust to form. Such projects require a thorough supervision mechanism; otherwise, those construction teams won’t care about how you will use the equipment in the future. Therefore, it’s essential to supervise them carefully
Based on the observed phenomenon, the following actions are required: 1. The construction party must remove the rust again, apply a primer, and then apply the topcoat, which is the silver powder paint. 2. If no primer is used, the topcoat will oxidize rapidly, exposing the underlying rust, which looks unsightly and makes it difficult to ensure quality. 3. The resin in the silver powder paint must meet the required standards; it cannot be diluted arbitrarily, as this will have a significant impact on the quality. 4. No shortcuts are allowed in any stage of the work; construction and inspection must be carried out in accordance with the required standards.
