peer agreement (net): -1
peer agreement (net): -1plasma coating Explanation: It sounds to me as though this is referring to some kind of thermal spray coating or thermal plasma coating or possibly powder coating to create a key to which a subsequent surface finish can adhere. Frankly, I am quite uncertain because your passage is still talking about the removal of defective layers of paint yet you say that blast-cleaning has already been described. Defective layers of paint need to be removed before any thermal coating or plasma coating process. However, the manner of application of thermal plasma coatings and similar would involve the use of a jet to apply the coating, which could be waved, and so that could be described as "wapperen". I am really not certain that this is the correct answer but that would be my intuition in the matter. Reference: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T...

blowing Explanation: the text deals with preparation of the substrate. Various Blowing techniques can be used, some with a lot of pressure, such as with sand blasting, and others with less pressure such as when one would blow an acid on the substrate, or even hot air (close by or at a distance so as not to damage the existing paint when a rpair job is undertaken. |

quick sweeping motions Explanation: "Sweep" is one sandblasting technique, hier uit een job grading standard for sandblasting: "Ability to use the information to determine the type and extent of cleaning required and the various techniques such as brush, hone, shot, sweep, and spot blasting needed, according to the material, size, and type of item, areas not to be blasted, and the type or combination of abrasives for the various types of metal or nonmetal surfaces." http://www.opm.gov/fedclass/Fws5423.pdf Het doel van aanstralen is to scuff up, en spotblast de slechte spots. Wapperen is een techniek. Scuff up by making a quick sweeping motion. Alternative: whisk = to move with a rapid, sweeping stroke: She whisked everything off the table with her arm. But this may be only one sweep. Good luck Chris :-) |
