Possible Failures and Troubleshooting in the Electrophoretic Coating Process: Nonuniform treatment

April 1, 2025

Pretreatment finished in a nonuniform manner accordingly causes an uneven thickness of the deposited film.


Q1:
Uneven drying in pretreatment process


A1:

  • Install a spray device to prevent drying-up.


Q2:
Uneven degreasing and other defects in pretreatment


A2:

  • Check whether there was any oil type or oil consumption change.
  • Keep the bath under proper control.

With respect to paint, it is possible to mitigate the effect of nonuniform treatment by increasing the film’s electrical resistance (with a higher ash content and lower solvent).
