Knowledge Sharing Sessions are necessary for all the corporate company, and for customers too as it gives chance to have one to one interaction and to clarify the queries from experts. For better understanding every session was followed by interaction round. Different queries on basics of galvanized steel like: coating range of zinc, thermal effect on coating, etc. were raised which were cleared by satisfactory answers by our CAM and PAG.

Different queries on painting were raised : • Why in case of GA sheet impact test fails after powder coating? Ans – Phosphating is not required in GA sheet. • In PT Line, orange peel appearance on the sheet after powder coating. It was suggested to check storing time in baking oven.

Mr. Akshay Guin (Painting Expert) addressing customers queries after his session.

There were many general queries on painting. Couple of them are: • Why pre treatment is required in skin passed material? • In case of Powder coating line whether CR or galvanized sheet needs to be passed through same or different solution? At the end of session, no query was left unanswered.

Dr. Kanwer Singh Arora shared working parameters have to be set in machines during welding.

Queries with practical clarification on welding were as: • Gas leakage problem in seam welding shall be avoided by annual dressing as well as reducing voltage fluctuation. • To avoid welding spatter, it was suggested to increase welding speed and gap in MIG welding. Thumb rule : 20% welding speed needs to be reduced in case of galvanized sheet wrt bare sheet.
