The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXIX

JLarson · 07-30-2018, 10:53 AM

Busy morning at work. Trying to track down an issue we are having with our powder coating department. Problem with adhesion on our test coupons, but physical parts do not appear to be suffering from it. Just cut the coating on a 10k part to ribbons, couldn't get anything to come off.

Test coupon, OTOH, half the powder came off. Going to be a long day.

Used to do thermo spray coating. Flame spray molten metal on to parts. Used Metco 6Pgun and I can't think of the other one. Also plasma sprayed with Metco 12E gun. Everything we sprayed had a test block that we had to check the hardness on. If the hardness was too soft. We had to machine off the coating and respray the part. I enjoyed doing that type of work.

Taking calls for a couple of hours, then heading to see the new Mission Impossible movie. Dinner later today with friend at Texi-Can Mexican Rest.

I started looking at 2 posts lifts then decided I was running out of room in the garage for all the crap. Wanted to be able to park two Zs in one bay during winter.

Yay for working night shift... stupid elections (though, they're not really stupid, very important this time around if we want to make actual change).

Night shift is great. Not a lot of people around, management is usually on dayshift. Come in, do your work and go home, not a whole lot of the BS.

Eh, disagree. I prefer being able to do things with friends and stuff, this shift (thankfully temporary) doesn't enable me to do that.

Plus, it royally ***** with my body messing up my sleep cycle (which is **** already).

yeah, if you have an active social life during the week, it kinda kills it. For me, I have always been a night person. As far back as I can remember I would be up until 3 every night playing with GI Joes or Hotwheels cars. Then be tired as all hell during school cause I just wanted to sleep.
