METAL SURFACE PREPARATION TECHNOLOGY FOR APPLYING METAL COATINGS

U ovom završnom radu analizira se problem zaštite materijala od korozijskih procesa, toĉnije, naglasak se stavlja upravo na tehnologije pripreme metalnih površina prije nanošenja metalnih prevlaka. Prije pristupa samom tom problemu, predstavlja se općenito pojam korozije, vrste tog procesa, općeniti problem zaštite materijala od trošenja, a posebno zaštita metala prevlakama i razliĉite vrste tog postupka. U glavnom dijelu podrobnije se analizira priprema površine prije samog procesa prevlaĉenja te glavne faze te pripreme, uz osvrt na utjecaj tih procesa na ekološke probleme, koje je u današnje vrijeme nemoguće izostaviti.This paper analyses the problem of corrosion protection of materials, more precisely, it focuses on technologies of metal surface preparation before application of metal coating. Before dealing with the problem itself, the general term of corrosion and its types are introduced. The general problem of wear protection of materials and more specifically coating protection of materials and different types of that procedure are also introduced. The main part deals in greater detail with surface preparation before the coating process and the main stages of the preparation. It also deals with the environmental effects of these processes, presently an unavoidable issue
