A FEM Approach to Explore the Thermal Dynamics of Steel Parts During Powder Coating Process

S. Lanthaler¹, Z. Mir¹, M. Schreiner²

Powder coating fundamentally depends on the precise polymerisation temperature; therefore, the quality of the coating is primarily dependent on the temperature of the component’s surface on which it is applied. In a study at the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST), the temperature of the coating process was studied for various geometries. A summary of the investigation is presented in this article.
