In our latest newsletter, we’ll present you two interesting applications with WEICON Plastic Metal.
?
?? Plastic Metal – what’s that? ??
The term Plastic Metal describes?#epoxy?#resin?systems, which consist of two components, one resin and one hardener. Depending on the type, the resin component is mixed with steel, aluminium powder or mineral fillers, all of which improve the technical characteristics, such as the compressive strength and thermal conductivity. The epoxy resin system is suitable for a broad range of applications in different industrial areas. Plastic Metal can be used, for example, in industrial series production for?#adhesive?bonding,?#coatings?and durable?#repairs?on different materials. After mixing the two components, the Plastic Metal cures at room temperature to a solid, metal-like material, which can then be machined. It can be drilled, milled, sanded or filed, if required.
Now, we’ll show you two applications of Plastic Metal – the restoring of a tool machine bed with WEICON WR and the repair of the fan housing of a ventilator with WEICON A and WEICON Ceramic BL.
??? Restoring a tool machine bed ???
?
Before and after using the epoxy resin system WEICON WR
Description:
?? removal of the initial cast coating by heating to above 200 °C
?? application of a new coating by casting the epoxy resin system WEICON WR
?? important: slight overfilling of the space to be filled
?? after curing mechanical processing of the surface by milling and inserting cooling ducts
Advantage of our solution:
?? no replacement of the tool machine necessary thanks to cost-effective repair
