Electrocoating
“SLICK” E-COAT
We manufacture fasteners used on trucks and other heavy equipment. We are currently using a dip spin painting process. One of our customers has suggested we consider having them coated with cathodic epoxy electrocoating. Apparently the E-coat film is so good that it creates too much friction. Is there an E-coat material that might be available for applications like this?

We manufacture wheels in India. Our component is an automobile wheel consisting of an outer circular rim and an inner disc. The problem is that a small zone nearer the interface (rim-disc) is not getting E-coated on a few of the components (approximately 10%). Our E-coat preparation process includes alkaline clean and phosphate. Can you help me with the causes of this problem and counter measures?
