ROUGHNESS OF METAL SURFACES FOR THE PAINTING OF RAILWAY VEHICLES

A long useful life of the paints applied to the metal surfaces of railway vehicles depends, among other things, on the surface condition. The relevant stipulations contained in the current technical specifications are still insufficient for arriving at a clear and satisfactory definition of surface quality. The definitions, measuring methods and apparatus as well as the procedures are mentioned and described from the points of view of actual experience and economy. The article reports in detail on the term "roughness" and the use of surface reference standards. Based on practical experience in the construction of wagons, data are given on the order of roughness both for steel blasting and grinding, which permit the necessary standards regarding the surface quality to be established.
