ANTI-RUST TREATMENT AND PAINTING OF COACHES

KORROSIONSSCHUTZ UND FARBGEBUNG AN REISEZUGWAGEN

Optimum anti-rust treatment for passenger stock is designed to prolong the service life and reduce maintenance requirements, but it involves considerable constraints in respect of design, technology and manufacturing. After the surfaces have been prepared, a suitably thick coat of strong double anti-rust paint must be aplied to all parts including corners and parts which are often difficult to reach. This does away with the need to withdraw coaches from service prematurely for repairs and the extra costs incurred for such operations. The author comments on the technical processes used in anti-rust treatment and painting.
