Influence of Processing Parameters on Coating Removal for High Pressure Water Jet Technology Based on Wall-Climbing Robot
Source abstract
Abstract
The shipbuilding industry is very important for many countries. As an essential process in the shipbuilding industry, surface preparation (or coating removal) is gaining more and more attention. The traditional process used for ship hull coating removal is a sand-blasting process, which is harmful to the environment and inefficient. Recently, high pressure water jet technology has been developed to replace the traditional sand-blasting process. However, there are still many technical problems to be solved. In this paper, one wall-climbing robot was developed to remove coating based on high pressure water jet technology. Coating removal experiments under various experimental conditions were carried out and the corresponding coating removal rate for each case was obtained and compared. In addition, numerical simulation based on Fluid software was conducted to observe the water jet process more visually. Results show that the processing parameters, including the water pressure, travelling speed, inclined angle, and stand-off distance, can greatly influence the coating removal effect. The optimal processing parameters are obtained to guide the application of the high pressure water jet technology based on the designed wall-climbing robot for the shipbuilding industry.
