Need of Professional Structural Precision Engineering Services

Structural precision engineering is the analysis and design of structural support systems for buildings, commercial complexes, industrial structures and bridges. This branch of engineering concentrates on sustaining a load safely, and depends heavily on principles of mathematics and physics to design these supports.

The duties involved in structural precision engineering services are complex and varied, but the basic goal is always to design a support system that will allow the structure to stay safely and to reduce the risk of collapse. A precision engineering firm must consider other factors such as weather, temperature changes and many others during design and pick materials that can withstand such components.

Using beams, columns, plates and other structural components, the engineer will design a practical and safe system of support that complies with all project criteria. He may use materials made from steel or iron as a structural base, though pre-stressed concrete and pre-cast panels are another genuine option. For small structures, timbers can also be an efficient support material and also facilitates a unique look.

During the design cycle of a structure, structural precision engineering company work closely with building owners, and architects to deliver feasible solutions. For structurally demanding projects like skyscrapers, the engineer often commands and drives the design process. In some cases structural elements often take primacy over architectural aspects, though the design must still accommodate the essential building elements such as electrical and mechanical systems.

Quality Management in Precision Engineering:

Operating with a full inspection and test facility, precision engineering companies ensure that each piece of technology used is constantly updated and new practices are developed, in addition to continually measuring procedures to meet customer needs.

Teflon and other Fluoropolymer Coatings:

Teflon was discovered nearly 70 years ago and has been used in precision engineering companies safely on cookware for over 40 years. Teflon has been used since the 1940's on automotive, military, personal use, and industrial products. Many Teflon and other fluoropolymer coatings are permitted for use in contact with food in compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and applicable regulations.

There is one known health hazard associated with Teflon, inhalation of fumes produced during degradation of the coating. Temporary flue-like symptoms (known as polymer fume fever) can occur when the fumes from overheated fluoropolymers are inhaled. Typically the fluoropolymer coating would have to be heated to an excess of 500°F to begin to depreciate. Fumes are not typically given off until the fluoropolymer significantly decomposes (660°F). Fats, butter, and cooking oil tend to scorch and smoke at only 400°F. When used properly Teflon non-stick products are safe.

For the past six years the precision engineering company has been studying to determine what if any human health effects exist. It is a polymerization aid, not an ingredient, used to help make fluoropolymers. It is largely removed during the final steps of polymer production and by the high temperatures used when most fluoropolymers are made into finished products.

Over the past six years there have been rumors, misconceptions, and unsubstantiated claims regarding precision engineering services of PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid), its safety, and its effect on Teflon and other fluoropolymer coatings. In order to reduce concerns related to PFOA, industry has improved manufacturing processes and controls to reduce the use and emissions of PFOA. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and industry have a stated goal of virtually eliminating the release of PFOA into the environment by 2015.

Zinc Phosphating - A finishing process in precision engineering

There has been many other precision engineering services being used for the sake of finishing the metal products by using coating techniques among them Zinc Phosphating is used against corrosion and as pre-treatment for steel and Aluminium surfaces, prior to painting or oiling for cold flow pressing. Zinc phosphate coatings for iron and steel are used as oil based corrosion inhibitors. They are also used as a paint base. Attractive black finishes and a corrosion resistant finish is available when sealed with one of oil based corrosion inhibitors.

• Microcrystalline zinc phosphate by immersion or spray. A calcium modified formulation which produces a fine-grained crystalline coating on iron and steel. It remains fine grained regardless of the cleaning method used prior to application. It is an excellent paint base and the fine-grained, low-porosity coating reduces paint consumption. Parts have some “bare” rust protection, so they do not have to be painted immediately.
• Heavy zinc phosphate for steel with a coating. The absorptive coating is an excellent base for the preservation of oils and rust preventive coatings.
• Low temperature heavy zinc phosphate for steel with good iron and sludge control. The oil absorptive coating is an excellent base for the protection of the rust preventives.
• Black zinc phosphates are produced on steel by using phosphorus as a pre-dip prior to zinc Phosphating with some other phosphates.

In addition to Manganese phosphate, precision engineering companies offers iron phosphate and zinc phosphate finishes.

Any unfinished ferrous metal, black oxide or phosphate finish is not complete without rust prevention and sealant top coat. The Lone Star LWD precision engineering company offers a wide selection of top quality corrosion inhibitors and rust prevention solutions.
