  The research is envisaging characterizing the Polyurethane (PU) coating on AA 7075 so as to predict the aircraft coating life. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray Diffractometry have been employed to investigate the differences in thermal behavior and crystalline structure of the polyurethane (GB BOND 141). DSC can be used to examine the material from a subambient starting temperature to the glass transition event and finally through the crystalline melting region. X-ray diffraction (XRD) provides important structural information about the polyurethane in the structure of semi-crystalline polymer substance consisting of two phases, viz., amorphous and crystalline as well as their fine texture which has a strong effect on physical and mechanical properties of polyurethane. After analyzing the characteristics, the extent of coating loss is examining visually in order to ev.. View More»
