Investigations on Changes in the Surface Geometrical Texture Caused by the Use of Corrosion Product Removers
Source abstract
Abstract
In addition to ensuring the functionality of objects used in the household, transport or industry at large, applied design focuses on aesthetic qualities related to the external form and condition of a surface. At the same time, there is a trend for plastic, rubber or aluminium objects made by moulding (both injection and casting) to look as if they were made of natural materials. This effect is ensured by properly designed and manufactured surface textures in the mould seats. However, the working surfaces of the moulds often corrode as a result of inadequate maintenance and storage. The aim of this study was to find out how popular agents on the market dedicated to corrosion product removal would change the surface geometrical texture. During the prepared experimental plan, it was also decided to investigate the properties in this respect of one of the popular drinks (i.e., cola) which is sometimes used in workshop practice as an alternative corrosion product removal agent. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn about the short- and long-term effects of the corrosion product removal agents.
